Your professional guide will pick you up at your hotel in Shanghai at the agreed time in the morning, and then a 2-hour drive in a comfortable minivan with chauffeur will take you to Suzhou. For hundreds of years, Suzhou is well-known for preserving many charming and typical classical gardens, almost all of which are the local wealthy families' residences. Your first destination is the Master of Nets Garden. The exquisite garden is not very large in scale but the special layout of pavilions, gateways, windows and various halls enlarges the space visually and worth a visit.

Our family has a great time in Shanghai. Ocean is our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history and culture of this city. We definitely will take this tour again when we come back to China.

Tour guide review

Published on May, 2019

Ocean was our guide in Shanghai. We’ve saved the best for the last: Shanghai. Although was just one day we had in Shanghai, Ocean made it happen. He spent with us 13 hours that day to get us through the most exciting sites in Shanghai, and we also had time to go to a live show. Timing was the key and Ocean managed to get all of us on the same page. That successful outcome was because Ocean is an excellent tour guide, patient, very articulate, accommodating, and super friendly. We have enjoyed the time spent with him to the maximum.

Tongli Ancient Town tour with a knowledgeable guide Ryan

Published on May, 2019

We went to Tongli Ancient Town which is famous for water town on the last day of labors’ holiday. it took almost 1.5 hours by car and it was good to leave the hotel earlier than we planned at first because of the busy traffic. Private tour is really good and helpful especially in busy season. Ryan has a lot of knowledge about history, architecture, economics, and etc... and we really enjoyed his explanations. After coming back to the downtown, he supported us to go to the acrobatic show which was hold in a theater a little bit far from the central. He showed warm hospitality during our stay in Shanghai.
