Our tour guide Chris picked us up at our hotel in Shanghai and we took 1.5 hours ride to Suzhou. Explored the ancient garden, silk factory, pan gate and 2 of Suzhou famous street. For someone who has never been to Suzhou, the day tour was a very fruitful one with Chris explained to us the story behind the garden and the beautiful Suzhou city. Took a lot of nice pictures as the weather was bright and sunny. Hope to come and explore other parts of China but not summer time ????

Have some issues in deciding on our itinerary for the trip initially. But we decided to book our tour with China Private Tours although their price was slightly higher than another tour agent as they have very patiently & professionally attended to all our enquiries. And they did not disappoint.
There was just a slight hiccup with the first driver, Mr Cheng, who picked us up from Shanghai to Hangzhou as he most probably had missed the turn to the side lane to drive in to the parking area of the hotel.
The second driver, Mr Lu, who drove us around on the tour in Suzhou is extremely patient, thoughtful & helpful. Along the way when we urgently require a local mobile SIM card, he very nicely attended to our request to drive us to the shop. When we had some problem finding our accommodation for the night due to the restricted area, despite the late hours & rain, he patiently assisted us by communicating with the owner of the lodge & drove us to another location where we didn't need to walk to far.
Anita, our tour guide in Suzhou, was wonderful. She was patient, caring, funny and helpful throughout the tour. She was very informative & could provide answers to many of our questions. As it was raining during the tour and we didn't have enough umbrella, she constantly ensure that we are shielded by sharing hers.
This is definitely highly recommended tour agent to book your tour with!
