Overall Satisfaction:
"Great organization"
I had a good impression about this tour company from the beginning, email contacts were very smooth and all the answers came immediately when I asked the questions.
Overall, I felt that the tour was a good contents and good organization, personally enjoyed walking around Zhou Zhuang bridges more than Su Zhou, though the gardens in Su Zhou was beautiful with leaves changing colours. I had also never seen the process of making silk, so visiting the silk factory was quite an experience.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly , I felt very safe to travel there(I joined alone). I strongly recommend this tour if you have one day to spend!

Overall Satisfaction:
"It's traditional"
I heard Suzhou is a highly economy developed city but I went to only Lingering Garden with this tour. Lingering Garden is obviously belongs to Suzhou’s traditional and historical part, everything inside was antique and fancy. Zhouzhuang is a lovely water town. Its small but dynamic, highly commercialized with busy water way.
