Best day out to Tongli

Published on Jul, 2024

A lovely visit to Tongli water town and gardens. Annie our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. The transport was excellent and we had a perfect day visiting the gardens, Tongli water town and taking a lovely boat ride before a delicious lunch. I highly recommend this top quality experience.

Tongli visit : serenity

Published on Jan, 2023

Pick up in time at our hotel, then a pleasant and informative trip to Tongli in a really clean and comfortable van. The walking and visit to the places like water canals, small streets, the quiet and nice house and garden followed by a really good authentic lunch。 We had then a nice canoe tour on the canals。 We were more than happy to choose to visit with a guide. With Annie - excellent and lovely guide - we learned things about the habits and customs that we would never have discovered by ourselves without her informatives explanations。 Annie with her energy was a real bonus to this tour. We were able to get some chinese pieces of way of life, thinking and cultural daily life approach, quite amazing and entlightning for us. So in this restarting period for travels we will keep an excellent memory of our first tour in 2023 !!
