“Suzhou City is a gem of a place less than a hour on the bullet train from Shanghai. Our guide Annie was terrific and guided us from pick up at our hotel, through the busy, bustling train station, pick up with another driver to the a boat ride on the canal, gardens, delicious lunch, city walls and a park then back to the train and Shanghai. Annie is not only knowledgeable but truly intellectually curious. She didn’t give stock answers to questions but listened to your questions and ask questions herself.

“We wanted to visit Suzhou while staying in Shanghai, and this tour seemed like the perfect option since we were short on time. Alana from the agency was very communicative from the beginning and provided clear information right away. We met our guide, Berlin, at 9:00am sharp at our hotel lobby and started our trip. Everything was perfectly and smoothly organised, from the transfer to the station, to the high-speed train to Suzhou, and all the transportation in the city and back. Berlin was very friendly and professional, and her English level was excellent. Her explanations were informative and engaging, which made the visit very enjoyable. We would surely recommend…”
