We enjoyed this tour and It was great for both of our kids (5 and 7) as well as grandma (65+) who was traveling with us. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun to talk to. We particularly liked the local recommendations as we walked by different places (e.g. try the local bakery goods around the corner and indeed it was very good). Our kids could handle the markets and the walk was easy enough for grandma. The tour guide also worked great with us to find our interests. We wanted to buy tea and we were taken to a tea outlet mall, and the shop owner made tea for us to try the different kinds — first time we tried tea stuffed in a dried citrus fruit and it was delicious (we went there to buy a specific tea (pu er) mixed with glutinous rice. Unlike other Chinese tours, they don’t work for commission so there was no pressure to buy anything. We have no hesitation recommending this tour to anyone.
