Second tour with Cindy!

Published on Sep, 2024

We loved our tour with Cindy so much that we booked this extra one before we left China. The days we spent with her were lovely and so informative. Fantastic tours and guide. She’ll make your time in China so much better!!!

one fantastic day @ Suzhou and Tongli

Published on Mar, 2019

I went to Suzhou and Tongli on a one day trip booked with China Highligths. Booking online was very easy, and everything organized upon request. My guide was Sophie Lee, speaking very good english, professional and with good knowledge about those places. Humble Administrator Garden is definitly a place to visit for all those appreciating nature and garden architecture. It’s classified by UNESCO, and well preserved. Tongli is a very interesting water village, less commercial and crowded then other water villages near to Shanghai. And lunch organized by Sophie in a local restaurant (YangYang) was quite pleasant, need to try crab soup! All in all an excellent day! Thank you Sophie!

If you have free time in Shanghai, I would definitely spend it with Cindy as your guide!,

Published on Nov, 2018

Having spent the day before with Cindy doing a "Food & Fabric Tour" in Shanghai with another couple (who knew that warm soy milk was so delicious), we decided to spend the next day with Cindy touring the Water Towns.Everything was arranged, from transportation to/from our hotel, a bountiful lunch including duck and fish while turtles wandered between our feet, and beautiful towns made more meaningful with Cindy's commentary. Only regret was the two hour travel time to and from the area, though it did give us a change to talk to Cindy about life in China. If you have free time in Shanghai, I would definitely spend it with Cindy as your guide!,
