  • Humble Administrator's Garden

    In the morning, your professional guide will wait for you at the lobby of your self-booked hotel in Shanghai at an appointed time. After a warm greeting, you will be driven about 1.5 hours to Suzhou. The guide will briefly introduce Suzhou City, praised as the Oriental Venice, to you. Upon arrival, your tour guide will immediately accompany you to tour the Humble Administrator's Garden, which is a classical garden full of graceful scenes.

    2 hours

Charming Suzhou and Tongli

Published on Jan, 2025

This was part of our 12-day private tour by Travel China Guide. Our local guide Ryan and driver shuttled us roundtrip from our hotel in Shanghai. We had a wonderful time visiting Suzhou and experiencing the Tongli water town. Ryan was very informative on history, culture, and architectural details. It was a great learning experience. Along the way we enjoyed some nice local old-time snacks as well.

Explore the water village!

Published on Nov, 2024

A highly recommended day trip outside of Shanghai. It’s a unique experience to see a traditional water village and beautiful gardens. Our guide Chloe was informative and made sure we had all of our questions answered. We had the chance to meet local artists, and enjoy a traditional lunch. I would recommend the tour, and if you are lucky to get Chloe as your guide you will have a good time!

Splendid Shanghai

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guide, Johnny, and driver, made our tour of Shanghai and Suzhou most memorable. We loved the stories and philosophy. It added humor and personality to each day. They were really accommodating to each of our needs. Many thanks and highly recommended!

Wonderful Classical Garden Visit

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a very enjoyable day. We went to two different Classical Gardens. One of grand scale and lots of visitors and the other smaller and less crowded. The contrast allowed us to better appreciate the beauty and tranquility of classical Chinese garden. Our tour guide Ryan is knowledgeable, thoughtful and attentive, which enhanced the experience.

Suzhou and Tongil Water Town

Published on Jun, 2024

The tour was very nice and full of the new experiences. Many thanks to Marry our quide tour, especially from my sister Anna who traveled on wheelchair.
