上海発蘇州と水郷の町、周荘を訪れる日帰り旅行

Excellent tour!! The parks and water village were beautiful!! The stop at the silk shop was informative and nice to buy souvenirs. Our guide Tom was a fountain of information and very considerate of our needs. Mr Chen did an amazing job of driving!!

Was a well organised trip to Suzhou, the guide arranged to pick up from from our homestay in Shanghai, then first to Master-of-Nets garden, where he gave us a very detailed tour of the place and its history. Then we went to the waterway area for a short stop to learn about the waterways themselves. We also went to the Silk museum where we got ourselves some shawls and clothes. Then we stopped for lunch (which was part of the package, wouldn’t say it was great or amazing, it was fine). Then the part we were all looking forward to which was the Zhouzhuang water village and the boat ride which was beautiful. Then we went around the shops in the area, all quite touristy things, but much cheaper to get here than in Shanghai Only small thing we thought could improve would probably just be to have more time to shop haha (but that would probably be variable amongst groups)

The towns are very nice! The gondola ride is an experience! Cute little shops around. Highly recommended

It was a fantastic tour from start to finish. Elena was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. She and the driver picked us up and dropped us off right at our hotel, which was so convenient not having to take the metro to a meeting point. The van was clean and new, a very comfortable drive out to Suzhou. The Master of Nets Garden was beautiful, a very peaceful and less crowded experience compared to Yuyuan Gardens in Shanghai. Learning how silk is made at the Silk Factory was fascinating. Lunch at a local Chinese restaurant was a fun experience, and the food was good. But the highlight of the tour was definitely Zhouzhang. The town is so picturesque and full of charm. It felt like a truly authentic Chinese experience. The gondola ride was a very cool local touch. We got 45 minutes to explore on our own, which was plenty of time. Then a relaxing drive back to Shanghai. The driver was great too, picking us up and dropping us off right at each site. All in all, it was an absolutely fantastic tour that was well worth the money! 100% recommend!

I don't recommend this tour for its value and the time available to actually visit the sites. Although Tom is an excellent, well-informed guide with perfect English, the excursion felt like a race against time. We were always rushing, catching glimpses of things and barely having a second to take a photo. It wasn't pleasant at all. The lunch was very basic and subpar: a plate of rice, inedible cabbage, very sweet fried chicken, and an omelette... no drinks. The hour wasted at the silk museum was pointless and only used to get people to buy some products so the tour company could get a commission. The only pleasant moment was the free time we were given in Zhouzhuang.

Was great tour with comfortable vehicle and great guide. Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable and attentive. We enjoyed his company.

The experience was very incredible, Tom the guide was very knowledge and very professional. The timing was perfect. He give time free to enjoy the water towm. He accompanied to the ride boat on the water town. I highly recommended

Excellent day with Tom who was very Knowledgeable and helpful. Driver was professional and courteous.

Our guide Thom was right on time meeting us at the hotel and we had a lengthy drive to Suzhou, but everything went smooth. We spent time in Suzhou and the Net Master Garden and our guide Thom explained the history in great details as we toured the gardens. It is a unique kind of garden involving several buildings that the owners lived in and mostly rocks. After the gardens we went to one of the earliest silk companies in Suzhou and learned the history of silk and its importance to ancient China. The next stop was at the Zhouzhuang which is an ancient Chinese City that is built around a series of canals and waterways. We took a “gondola” ride through the city. It was an interesting place but quite crowded but enjoyable none the less. Thom did a good job guiding us through the 2 sites.

You need a guide in these areas to enjoy the experience. The day was care free whilst seeing and understanding local culture and tourist spots.
