I could write a book. This is a great option for day trip from Shanghai. It’s doable in a day without a hurry. Suzhou just different enough from Shanghai to make it worth the trip. This was a great, short experience on a high quality train, something Americans don’t have. Daisy, yes, perfect for this trip. She will lead as you ask, she is worldly knowledgeable to have great conversation during the day. But between the agency and Daisy , they take care of every step of the day. Which, in the case of taking the train for the first time, is really important, and drivers always ready for you. Whatever the rate, totally worry free travel.philkristintravel

Daisy was warm and knowledgable - about everything. Beautifully organised and done with ease. We really appreciated the customisation of the tour to our interests without missing out on the advertised highlights. We went to Kungu opera, taken to hear singer perform an extract from The Palace of Eternal Life. Lunch was brilliant, ordered by Daisy to our tastes. The highlight was the crawfish in shaoxhing wine. And since I liked it so much Daisy found and is sending me not only the recipe but the video of how to make it. Totally recommendedtsoei_t

The history behind all the sites we visited were brought to life by our guide Alana. The rickshaw riding on the public road was breathtaking. Alana is a very caring and knowledgeable guide.
