Great tour with an even greater guide

Published on Mar, 2025

You will have an amazing time, Caroline provided a fantastic experience. Souzhu is a window to old China and a very relaxing place to spend the day.

Brilliant day tour to Suzhou

Published on Mar, 2025

Caroline was a wonderful guide to Suzhou, energetic, knowledgeable and full of fun. She and the driver in Suzhou, who knew every road and shortcut, made sure I saw so much more than I would have done if I had travelled without a guide. At the end, we chased the setting sun setting by the leaning pagoda, and just about caught it. She also had great advice about the best photo opportunities. A really enjoyable day.

Amazing Suzhou day trip from Shanghai!

Published on Feb, 2025

Booked this Suzhou day trip tour from Shanghai and the experience from start to finish was amazing. We were picked up at our downtown Shanghai hotel by our friendly guide, Kimi, who then accompanied us on the train to Suzhou. Prior to the tour, Alana had liaised with us regarding the meeting time and also provided us much needed information and reminders - greatly appreciated! Kimi was such an excellent guide! He was enthusiastic about sharing knowledge and was super informative! He was so kind and considerate too as we were travelling with 2 young kids. We wanted to do a Hanfu photoshoot at the Humble Administrator Garden last minute and he accommodated us and helped arranged for a later train timing back to Shanghai. The tour itself was also well-paced and well thought-out and was interesting even to our kids. Sightseeing points were customisable. Clean and comfortable private MPV with driver was provided in Shanghai for the transfers and also in Suzhou to travel from site to site. All in all, a highly recommended day trip tour from Shanghai. Would definitely do this again with this company, to visit the other gardens we did not cover today! Big thanks to the wonderful Kimi and Alana!

Fantastic organisation of...

Published on Feb, 2025

Fantastic organisation of a trip and very personal and experience. Caroline looked after us from start to finish ensuring we had the best time. We were a little worried about being vegetarian, however Caroline suggested great dishes and was not a worry at all, it was a delicious lunch.

Great trip to Suzhou

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great day, everything was very well arranged! Also the lunch we had in Suzhou was super nice! I’d definitely recommend to book your trip from Shanghai to Suzhou here!
