Passeios por Humble Administrator's Garden

Wuzhen Water Town and Suzhou are both excellent tourist attractions with incredibly beautiful scenery. Our tour guide, Xiao Ye, provided meticulous explanations throughout the trip. She was very professional and responsible, and most importantly, she was also beautiful 😻. Attractions: Full marks. Itinerary: Satisfied. Tour Guide: Loved her.

The tour is primarily by bus with a packed and tight itinerary, and expects a lot of walking to cover the venues. The Chinese-speaking guide is good and very accommodating. Kudos to the guide 忆芬芳. Each venue will have different people joining, so expect a varied tour group.

We are a group of Malaysians who chose to join a Chinese group. Our guide, Ms. Xiao Zhu, was very attentive and friendly to us despite the language barrier. She made sure we received all the necessary information and felt welcomed into the group. The itinerary was relaxed yet very informative and punctual. We were given time to explore on our own and do some shopping. The explanations were very clear, even when using an audio translator through our phones. We highly recommend this package for local people and those from non-Chinese speaking regions; it's an experience. It's up to you to enjoy it. Big thanks from us. 🫶🏻

We had a relaxing day out with Joe, who was both our driver and guide to beautiful Suzhou. The contrast between the 'new', 'old', and 'ancient' Suzhou was magnificent, as we spent time walking the Garden and experiencing the inner sanctuary of ancient Chinese accommodation that we only saw from the outside in our earlier trip to the Forbidden City in Beijing. Joe's profound knowledge and ability to link different elements with Chinese proverbs transformed this from a sightseeing experience to a learning journey. Exploring the 'Venice of the East' at Shantang Street was another highlight and if we could do it again, we would spend more time here, as there was so much to see and do! Overall, it was a great experience, made more enjoyable by Joe and his sense of humour and importantly, his safe driving on busy, congested roads in and outside of Shanghai and Suzhou.

导游是朱平，一位地道的苏州本地人。她对苏州非常了解。朱平是一位非常活泼的导游，总是面带微笑。行程有点赶，但我想这可能就是苏州一日游的节奏。总的来说，这是一次不错的旅行。

I reallly enjoy the trip in Suzhou.Especially the tour guide is great. I really like her. Thank you for a nice family trip.

The tour guide was very professional, and the hotel was fine. It's just unfortunate that we encountered a few group members who spoke very loudly and kept clearing their throats with loud noises throughout the trip. We had to endure the noise.

The tour guide was helpful, but her explanations of the various attractions seemed to be on a "repeated mode" and she spoke too fast. Although lunch was not included, I was informed during the tour that I needed to pay extra for a group lunch due to time constraints (30 minutes). I am not sure if guests are allowed to opt out of the "optional" lunch. Please also note that you need to pay extra for the tram ride up Tiger Hill. For us, we were bored towards the end of the tour, as the explanation was too rushed and the guide was trying to cover all 5 attractions. If you wish to visit as many attractions as possible in one day, you might consider this tour. However, I hope the tour agency can consider asking the guide to slow down her speaking speed (we were the only foreigners in the group; the others were domestic tourists).
