I was visiting Suzhou with several work colleagues that arrived before me. I had booked this with one of them and she had done another tour the day before. Lulu did a great job of helping us choose places to visit she hadn’t seen yet, helping us stay cool in the heat, avoiding crowds, helping us shop and enjoy a wonderful day in Suzhou. We learned so much in a way that was very enjoyable. This was an excellent experience and highly recommended.
Linda was the best tour guide ever!

Linda was absolutely brilliant! She was the best tour guide we had on the trip. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate. Highly recommend touring Suzhou and Zhouzhuang with her - you can't go wrong!
Wonderful guide
Published on Jun, 2024
This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. It was very interesting. The guide customized the trip based on our interest and the time we had. For example, she brought us to a more child friendly garden where our daughter could climb rocks and have a bit of fun.
Great times, great tour, lovely people.

Well organised before leaving, nothing seemed to be a hassle to Sunny. Lulu our guide was waiting in Suzhou and immediately made suggestions and scheduling. Zhouzhuang is amazing and Lulu an expert at explaining stories and history. Our driver always around as needed. Fantastic day spent.
Sudden trip? No problem!

We just booked one day before for this tour. But we are being handled well with Sunny. Sunny contacted us and said that Lulu would guide us. Overall, the experience was terrific, and Lulu was a great tour guide, experienced and helpful. I will recommend it to friends. Thanks Sunny and Lulu.
