We just got back from the Zhouzhuang tour and I had to write this right away. Our guide Hannah was absolutely fantastic - she made the whole day so much fun! We started at Lion Grove Garden, and honestly I would've walked right past the coolest rock formations if she hadn't pointed them out. She showed us how the maze-like paths were designed on purpose - way more interesting than I expected!

Then we strolled along Pingjiang Road, which felt like stepping back in time with all the cute shops and canals. But the real highlight was Zhouzhuang. Hannah knew all the best spots for photos at Twin Bridges and had the most entertaining stories about the Shen family who built Shen House. The gondola ride through the waterways was so peaceful and romantic - my husband loved it too!

Everything was so well organized. Our driver was really careful and the van was super clean. Hannah kept everything running smoothly but never made us feel rushed. If you're thinking about visiting Zhouzhuang from Shanghai, just book this tour - totally worth it!
