Quiet break from bustling Shanghai - What a wonderful morning spent with Annie! We were picked up on time and reached the town earlier than expected. The streets were quiet as Annie walked us through telling us everything about the history and day-to-day of the town. The gardens were beautiful and the boat ride was short but sweet. Annie went above and beyond to assist us in ordering some local delicacies and then we also had some free time to wander through the markets. Annie was a very knowledgeable guide and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai!

Must do for Shanghai visitors! - This is a great tour for Shanghai visitors that gives you a totally different perspective and experience. Frankly, if I had known of this attraction and tour I would've done it years ago on my first visit. This was our second tour with Sunny's company, booked at the last minute as a result of our great experience on our Shanghai walking tour, and we were not disappointed. Aron picked us up promptly, and we enjoyed an easy drive of an hour or so. Aron was terrific and went the extra mile - my daughter was trying to submit an online school assignment but we had trouble with the hotel connection so she was freaking out a bit thinking she was going to miss the deadline. Aron offered his connection through his provider during the drive, walked us through what we needed to do on his personal phone, and all was accomplished! The tour itself is terrific, a great little water village with shops, foods and sights that are hard to find now in central Shanghai. Aron was super knowledgable and friendly. We had a great day and this was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

A great tour - Our morning tour of Zhujiajiao with Lily was all we hoped for and more. Since it was a private tour, we could go at our own pace, and Lily is easy going and very good at accommodating any request. She is also thorough and knowledgeable about Chinese history and current day events. We had opted for lunch to be included, but since it was a little early while we were still in Zhujiajiao, she took us back to Shanghai and her favorite restaurant there, which was a real treat for us. All in all, a most enjoyable morning with a very personable, fun young guide.

Great place for a relaxing morning - The tour guide Rita was fantastic. The arrangements with Sunny and a private driver went as smooth as possible. They are very responsive via email. Rita knew the area, her English was wonderful, and we had a nice morning getting tea by the water after the canal boat ride. It was a great outing.
