Utmost professionalism - My husband and I and our 5 year old went on a private Suzhou tour with Sunny, and subsequently booked an airport transfer with them as well. We had excellent experiences with both. My husband only speaks English and Sunny was able to communicate with us both effortlessly switching back and forth between Mandarin and English. Sunny reached out before the tour to confirm our travel arrangements--all of our transfers happened smoothly (coordinated by Sunny). It was hot and then suddenly pouring rain and then hot and sunny again on the day of the tour and having transportation on demand between all the sites was much appreciated. We thought that the garden (Master of Nets) that we went to was absolutely stunning, as were the walking streets and canal boat ride that she took us to. All in all we highly recommend Sunny and her team and we are very thankful for how well she took care of our family on our tour.

Best Suzhou tour you can take - Starting the agency allows you to choose among several tour possibilities according your preferences. After the reservation we were contacted to give us the instructions (in our case for the train tickets in advance). The tour day Sammi, our guide, arrived at the accorded time and we started our trip. During the day she explained us perfectly all the attractions' interesting information that in other way we couldn't know, she was always solving our doubts and always keeping all the time and tour details. Sammi has an excellent attitude and gave us an excellent lunch recommendation
