朱家角ウォーター タウンへの半日上海ツアー

We took a half day tour of Zhujiajiao with our guide, Blake. The tour was a refreshing break from the fast pace of downtown Shanghai. The quiet town of Zhujiajiao has maintained its charm over the years. The tour went at a relaxed pace, as we meandered through the streets and a brief boat ride through one of the canals. We were not taken to specific places for shopping or meals. Blake offered to recommend places if we were interested, but we chose not to, and we were not pressured. Blake was very personable, and knowledgeable about the town and its history, He speaks English very well, and is easy to understand, We arranged through the tour company for a fee to be picked up from SHA after an early morning flight, and were taken directly to the town to start our tour. Following the tour, for another fee, we were dropped off at our accommodations out by PVG airport. That convenience saved us half a day of travel! Blake even helped us with straighten out some money complications we were having with another vendor, and gave us detailed instructions on transportation options in Shanghai after our tour. We highly recommend Blake as a tour guide!

We booked a day tour to Suzhou from Shanghai. The guide Andy Qian picked us up with the driver at the hotel. 10 min prior to the arranged time, he called to inform us that he had arrived n was waiting in the lobby. Andy was patient , helpful n answered all the questions we had for him. The tour was well conducted n we truly enjoyed ourselves. He even bought an ice cream for my Daughter! He took the extra miles by texting us the instructions of how to get to the Mercedes Benz cultural center when he knew we were going there the next day. And he gave us his number so that we can call him should we require any further assistance. He also made sure that the train tickets have arrived for our second tour to Hangzhou. We will certainly book with Travel China Guide tours again.

We had a great time with our tour guide Kris. He met us in the evening at the train station, and made sure we were comfortable at our hotel. The next morning, he took us on a boat cruise on the Hu River where we got spectacular views of the skyline of Shanghai. After our tour, he took us to Old Town Shanghai, where we got a good look at the old buildings in this district. While there, we toured the Yu Garden where we got away from the crowds. Yu Garden was beautifully landscaped with rocks, trees, flowers, and water features that were filled with Koi. All of this and a quaint 500 year-old building. Kris took us to a high quality tea shop, where we were able to taste different teas before we bought them. We then had a wonderful luncheon in the old town area.

Our guide Mary was just delightful. She was very informative and helpful. Her English was excellent and we got to learn a lot about the city and its highlights. She was extremely accomodating and showed us lots of interesting aspects of Suzhou. Mary also gave us many tips for things to see in Shanghai the following day.

Our Tourist guide Mr. Ocean was great. He and a driver were on time in our hotel. Although there was a traffic jam Ocean made our drive interesting. His english was good and his knowledge about the gardens, city, silk and the history of China was even better. He gave a quick overview of China and its people. He took us in the local restaurant and lunch was delicious. He was very good at the silk factory - he could sell a lot in their store. I recommend this tour with Ocean. Elaine & Mojca
