Zhouzhuang Water Town Tours and Tickets

Great trip - everything perfectly organized by Alana and Shen. Half a day or almost full day trip from Shanghai - as you wish, but this water town is absolutely worth seeing!!!

Tom was friendly, informative and helpful and the whole trip was very efficiently organised. We had a super day, thanks

Our guide Thom was right on time meeting us at the hotel and we had a lengthy drive to Suzhou, but everything went smooth. We spent time in Suzhou and the Net Master Garden and our guide Thom explained the history in great details as we toured the gardens. It is a unique kind of garden involving several buildings that the owners lived in and mostly rocks. After the gardens we went to one of the earliest silk companies in Suzhou and learned the history of silk and its importance to ancient China. The next stop was at the Zhouzhuang which is an ancient Chinese City that is built around a series of canals and waterways. We took a “gondola” ride through the city. It was an interesting place but quite crowded but enjoyable none the less. Thom did a good job guiding us through the 2 sites.

I recently took a day trip to Suzhou and Zhouzhuang Water Town with my guide Elena and it was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had! From the moment the tour started, everything was perfectly organized, and I felt completely immersed in the rich culture and history of these two beautiful places.

Great trip. Good value. Informative English speaking guide. Mini bus quite cramped hence only 4 stars.

Elena was a wonderful guide. She was both informative and interesting, and made the Souzhou tour a wonderful experience. She topped it off with a tasteful lunch, an educational silk factory tour, and an authentic visit to the water towel with a gondola ride. We highly recommend this tour.

Water village was very good. A little more time to explore the site would have been nice. The guide could have provided a little more information and spoken a little louder. Overall, a very good experience, and recommended.

It was great to get away from the glass and steel towers of Shanghai and see the real beauty of Chinese gardens. The highlight was the water village, despite being busy it still felt peaceful and unspoiled.
