Jaimie, our tour guide was terrific. She was really knowledgeable, organized and thoughtful. She did a wonderful job showing us around, navigating the crowds, and telling us about the places we visited. Enjoyed learning so much from her. Driver was great, too.

Tom was our guide. Our first stop was this garden and the amount of knowledge he knew about it was unbelievable. He told us the deference in gardens of Civic, military and wealthy leaders of that day and how you could tell whose garden it was. He pointed out the seating arrangements of a room and where the most important person set and why. He explained why the windows were the shape that they were. He was a very knowledgeable guide. Absolutely loved learning as much as he could share. The silk factory was also great. I was really impressed to learn how much leaves a silk worm would eat. Tour was very informative and Tom was a great guide. Again, can't begin to tell you how great of a guide and how great of a tour it was.

Our guide, Leo, was very responsive to our interests, questions and needs. His English was great, sharing so much information and responding in detail to our questions. Our full day excursion was just what we needed. We highly recommend Leo.
