A glimpse of China’s beauty

Giuseppe_V, Oct 2024

The gardens, the buildings, the canals, from which it is possible to catch the glimpse of the local life, the train ride, the stations… Everything was interesting. But best of all was Penny’s (the guide) telling about life in China and how it changed in the past few years. Perfect organisation of transfers by car, train and boat.

Great company, great guide, great day

Kelly, the owner of Melody Tours, is a true professional, meeting us at our hotel just to say hello and introduce us to Jessica, our guide. Jessica was great: highly knowledgeable, completely fluent in English and very friendly. Highly recommend using them, and would certainly do so the next time we're in Shanghai.

Great private tour and customizable to our desires. Jamie (Wang) was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable providing great info on the culture and history of China, Shanghai and Suzhou. Very enjoyable.

A great discovery of Suzhou in a professional and friendly atmosphere

Excursion well organized and prepared by Kelly. We saw the main sites of Suzhou with very interesting explanations. Kelly and Jessica are warm, dynamic and attentive. We could also choose to adjust the route to our desires. We recommend this day!
