- car0linacar0lina0 contributionsHighly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Roy was a superb guide, with deep knowledge of the historical significance of the places we visited and making it relatable for us. Our chinese wasn’t great and he was very patient with me and parents, when we tried to read the chinese characters heh. Roy was professional and thoughtful at the same time (travelling with my 70+ and 80+ parents), he absolutely made our day. Highly reccomended.Written September 12, 2024

- Nola W0 contributionsFantastic half day tour of Shanghai with Ruby. A mix of air conditioned car and walking around old & new sights.Ruby was an excellent guide - she showed us interesting historical and modern parts of Shanghai. Ruby was great company and her English is very good. Our driver was great & car cool and comfortable. This is a great trip to do soon after arriving in Shanghai to understand the city and culture.Written September 8, 2024
- johnnynice860 contributionsExtremely rudeAbout as rude as a tour company can get. Their website said “strollers and wheelchair accessible”. When we reached out to make sure that was the case, they simply told us we need to cancel immediately. They refused to answer any further emails/questions, only restating that we need to cancel. I would avoid these people.Written September 7, 2024
- maxnX5677GH0 contributionsWonderful day outI had a very nice tour to Suzhou with Melinda. We visited many fascinating sights including the Master of Net`s garden, the Silk museum and Tiger Hill. Melinda was very good at providing detailed information including history and context. The tour was very well organizedWritten September 7, 2024
- cepam0 contributionsNice morning in ZhujiajiaoMy daughter and I went on the tour yesterday morning with Shirley and it was fabulous! We were picked up straight from our hotel in a nice car and it took about an hour to get to the town. The town itself was great to see and lots of good places for photos. The boat ride was our favorite part. There were lots of little shops for souvenirs. Shirley was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about the town and Shanghai. It was fun being with her. Lunch was good as well. We would definitely recommend booking!Written September 6, 2024
- Howard O0 contributionsSizzling ShanghaiWe had a nice relaxed time with this tour. Our guide Shirley was patient and knowledgeable about Shanghai. We felt comfortable and safe with her. The tour itinerary was ideal as we saw Shanghai’s famous lighted skyline and experienced iconic flavors all in one evening. Our guide Shirley was terrific and got us on a cruise just before the building lights went on. She explained a little history of the area called The Bund. We worked up an appetite and had delicious tastings of the typical Shanghai cuisine. You can do the tour with food tour then cruise or like we did it, cruise then food. The manager, Sunny, was very organized and set us up for a successful evening. Don’t hesitate to sign up for this tour. Shirley speaks fluent English and and very accommodating. She knows where all the good bathrooms are if you know what I mean.Written September 6, 2024

From the onset, our tour was executed seamlessly. Sunny, our tour guide picked us up from our hotel on time. We traveled in an air conditioned minivan comfortably.
Our trip consisted of Master of the Net Garden, Tiger Hill and TONGLI Watertown plus delicious local lunch. Our favorite destination was the garden.
Sunny is very personable, patient and spoke very good English. She allowed us to move at our own pace, and was very knowledgeable.
Overall, we had a very good experience.

Our tour guide was Rita. Thanks to her we were able to get a great tour of a nice house if Suzhou followed by a relaxing walk and boat ride along the water town of Zhouzhouang. Her knowledge of history, poetry and high culture was a welcome addition to the experience. Highly recommended!

We had a great trip out of Shanghai with our tour guide Rita. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. She explained to us in details the history of the venues. she was also very patient with us. My family spent much time in shopping and looking at those interesting small shops around. As a result we ended quite late but Rita was very accommodating. She speaks very good English too. A highly recommended trip for everyone!

If you are after a seamless personalized experience then this is the right choice, we were completely charmed by Sunny’s humor and professionalism ! We went on a weekday and the crowds weren’t bad at all, there were quiet moments for reflection. Tongli and the Tuisi gardens are definitely better than zhouzhuang because it’s more scenic and the Tuisi garden is actually a historic residence full of original charm. The flowers are blooming and despite he cloudy day, the colors contrasted very beautifully with the austere black and white-washed walls of the buildings. Suzhou is truly a signature place of Chinese landscape gardening ! Thanks Sunny and Wang Sifu

Thank you sunny for a great tour, we really enjoyed it. No hassle and everything went smoothly. We booked a day trip to Suzhou during Chinese Public Holiday, a bit scared of the crowd and yes it was packed, however we still managed to visit both suzhou and Zhouzhang water town.

We wanted to see more of Shanghai than just the city so we decided to take this tour. Sunny, our guide was wonderful and knowledgable. She greeted us on time and had a wonderful day planned. We spent the morning at the Humble Administrator's garden in Suzhou which was beautiful. Sunny made the place some alive with her expert explanations and sense of humour. We had a great lunch in Suzhou and then spend the afternoon in Tongli. Tongli was a refreshing surprise not crowded and less touristy than some of the other water towns. the gardens there were also beautiful. It was a full day and everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. Sunny was able to tailor the day to our interests and offered us various options to fill the day. She answered all our questions about culture and history, It was a highlight of our trip to China. I would highly recommend this tour and Sunny in particular

My siblings and I gave my parents a tour to Tongli with Sunny Flower Services as a gift during their trip to Shanghai, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Lily was an excellent guide, and my parents shared that she was very relaxed and easy to be around, that she felt like family. Great communication leading up to the tour as well. Thank you!

My husband and I will be in Shanghai for 5 days and want to take a day trip to one of the water towns.
Looking at Suzhou and Tongli Tour but not sure which one is the best choice. Maybe you can tell we what you think?
