I joined a one-day Suzhou tour from Shanghai organized by this travel company, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Our guide, Lisa, was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories about the Lingering Garden’s exquisite classical architecture and the history behind Panmen Gate. She managed the schedule perfectly, allowing enough time to wander Hanshan Temple and soak in its serene atmosphere without feeling rushed.

The driver was punctual and drove safely along the busy highways, making the journey comfortable. Shantang Street was a highlight for me, with Lisa pointing out local delicacies and shops worth exploring. The combination of well-planned logistics, insightful commentary, and friendly service made this trip both relaxing and enriching. I felt like I got to truly experience Suzhou beyond the typical tourist spots. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a well-rounded day trip from Shanghai.
