We had a fantastic day exploring Suzhou! Our guide was super friendly and really knew her stuff—she explained everything clearly in English and shared lots of cool details about the history of the Lingering Garden and Panmen. The tour company was great too, very responsive and flexible when we needed to tweak the pickup time. Our driver was professional, the car was spotless and smelled nice, and he drove very smoothly, which made the trip relaxing. The schedule was well planned—we got to stroll along Shantang Street, enjoy the classic gardens, and see the city’s old gates without feeling rushed at all. It was the perfect day trip to experience Suzhou’s charm from Shanghai!
