Amazing day trip, highly recommended - Caroline was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable. Received very thorough explanations about all the sights and towns throughout the whole day. It was a very enjoyable day trip, and she let us go at our own pace which is very appreciated given that we have kids and elderlies in our group.

Worth the trip outside Shanghai - What a great day! Caroline was a fantastic guide. The restaurants and food she chose were perfect. We had a wonderful time exploring the two water towns. We were able to go at our own pace to shop and explore. She also is an excellent photographer and helped us capture the memories. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Great day! Highly recommend! Thanks Caroline! - We had a magical day with Caroline at the two water towns. We drove two hours from Shanghai and stopped for a delicious lunch before going to the first water town. Caroline has perfect English and a very bubbly personality. She is delightful. She took lots of pictures of us and answered our many questions. The day before our tour, Alana communicated with us and found out we needed to be back at the hotel to get to the airport. She offered to take us to the airport after the second Watertown and that was way above and beyond what we expected. She also suggested we go a little later in the day so we could see the second Watertown all lit up. It was fantastic. We rode the boat at both Watertowns and enjoyed that so much. Our driver was great too! It’s quite tricky getting through the congestion and he did it masterfully. It was an absolutely fantastic day!
