Things to do in Humble Administrator's Garden

I was so impressed with the knowledge of the guide, she was very patient, friendly and share with us the story of every corners of the garden.

It was a full bus load of tourists and everywhere we went, it was crowded. but the guide, Chen Lei, did very well to make sure that nobody went missing as we walk the streets, cross the roads and weave through the multitudes of people. There was an additional fee of CNY110 per person. 40 for lunch at a buffet restaurant that is basically like hunger games - hundreds of people crowding to get food. 10 for the earpiece to listen to the guide - this is useful. 60 for the boat ride and a short Suzhou music performance.

We thought it would just be walking around stone formations, but the rest of the garden blew our minds! The central pond with its pavilions and bridges was such a beautiful sight. It gets busy with tourists, but still totally worth the visit.

It was a great experience and many beautiful places were shown. As I am not able to speak chinese I could not fully understand the historical explanations, but the guide (and the translator) helped me a lot to experience it!

Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide Levi did a great job showing us around and educating us on the historical significance of Suzhou and even stories about Shanghai. He gave us a reason to truly fall in love with the city and see its beauty. The comfortability of the travel and tour all make this well worth it. Very satisfied with my decision to do this for my mom. Thank you so much Levi ~~

Tour was good , we got to See a lot in one day , but some places feeled aclittle bit rushed. But If you dont have much time this Tour ist great to the Highlights of Suzhou.

a must do experience in Suzhou. The operator shared the time and address of the store a night before the activity, but changed in 5 mins before the actual time. so we had to move and find the new store. we were able to choose our costumes fast. make up artists wore masks while working. photographer knows little english, so you will rely on context clues and gestures to know what poses to do. edited pics get sent via wechat, which seem to downgrade quality a bit. we had to pay 100rmb more to get 3 additional edited photos + ALL raw pics. overall experience took around 4hrs. have food and water before the activity

not bad - had a good overview of this old town. took a boat ride to the old town (not within). visited the mansion of a rich historical merchant. watched a nice theatre performance. had dinner at the guide-recommended restaurant and bought a painting at an -induced calligraphy shop. had short time for personal shopping within old town.

Zhouzhuang water town tour is definitely worth it. The guide is friendly and approachable.
