Huzhou

I chose a guided tour mainly because, after researching, I found that the cost was about the same as traveling independently with multiple transfers. Not having to transfer was fantastic. This time, our tour guide, Xiao Fang, guided us through Wuzhen East柵 and led us into the Nanxun Scenic Area. Although the combined tour resulted in a large crowd, requiring us to stay very close to hear the guide properly (I constantly heard 'You have fallen behind' from my headset), it definitely added much more depth to the travel experience compared to just wandering around on our own and listening to a guide. True to the itinerary description, lunch, tour headsets, and the boat cruise were not included in the tour fee. Lunch was filling and might only be considered specialty food for foreigners, but the other two items are highly recommended for optional purchase. There were some foreigners in our group, which I felt slightly detracted from the overall experience, but purely from the perspective of a shared shuttle tour, it was actually quite alright. Aside from the riverside and bridges in East Zha, I also highly recommend going inside the Hongyuantai Dye Workshop for photos; since we visited on a weekend, the alleys should have been great for photos too otherwise. As for Nanxun, following Tour Guide Xiao Fang's advice, we headed straight to the Hundred-Jian Building. The walk was a bit far, and at one point I wondered why I had suddenly left the tourist area, but it was truly worth seeing. If you have plenty of time and a travel companion, I highly recommend finding a place to sit down, dine by the river, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Ding Sheng cake is also recommended to try (I bought it freshly steamed and it was quite good). The night offers a completely different scenery, and I originally chose this tour because it included viewing the night view. Overall, the experience was pretty good.

Perfecte dagtrip buiten de stad, 1,5 uur om de stad uit te zijn en het verleden binnen te stappen. We hebben de mooiste foto's gemaakt! De kinderen mochten zich verkleden en we hebben een heerlijke dag gehad. Meneer Nathan was een geweldige gids, zeer goed geïnformeerd en heeft een prachtige route voor ons samengesteld. Dank u wel.

Since I could not speak Chinese, I asked her to communicate with me in English, and she kindly accepted. Thanks to her dedicated and flexible support, I was able to enjoy the tour and have a great experience. Thank you to her and all the staff involved in this tour.

We gingen op een spontane reis naar Shanghai en kochten het 5D4N-pakket en waren erg onder de indruk van de prijs en service. Onze gids, Xiao Tang, was zeer professioneel, ijverig en zorgzaam gedurende de hele reis. Ik vind haar een heel oprecht persoon en gemakkelijk om mee te praten. Ze was ook zeer deskundig en deelde de geschiedenis van alle plaatsen die we bezochten. Dankzij haar was de hele reis zo comfortabel voor ons. Bedankt Xiao Tang, complimenten! ❤️❤️

Our guide Xiao Xiao is super patient, professional and responsive. The itinerary was well planned with sufficient time for us to explore and experience each venue. I particularly enjoyed Nanxun and Wuzhen, both are breathtakingly beautiful and well preserved heritage site.

Ik was zeer tevreden over deze 4-daagse en 3-nachten tour door de watersteden en oude stadjes van Suzhou en Hangzhou! Onze gids, Pan Chunli, gaf zeer deskundige uitleg over de historische verhalen en zorgde uitstekend voor ons tijdens de rondleiding. Ze heeft ook veel prachtige foto's van het landschap gemaakt. Ik kan deze gids ten zeerste aanbevelen!

This tour was one of the amazing tours that we had in China. Firstly, our family doesn’t speak Chinese at all. I booked the tour and tour provider suggested to cancel the tour for best experience when I booked the tour. I cancelled but there is no way I can go around China without taking tour. I requested to get English tour guide or bear minimum English. Even before the tour , I communicated again and again with your operators to make sure the dates are correct. Tour guide Xing and Menghai,they communicated with me with we chat all the time for itinerary and sightseeing. Even though we couldn’t communicate verbally with other tour members, we had a great time communicating with gestures and google translate. Hotels are very good along with first meal and last meal together arranged by tour were amazing. I would recommend going this tour to anyone if you really want to know true Chinese culture.
