Wonderful lake town cisit - We had a great time visiting the two beautiful lake towns. The organisation and the program were impeccable, especially the night time visit of Xitang including the boat trip are an unforgettable experience. Our guide Caroline is a star, cheerful, friendly, has lots of interesting anecdotes, is an inspiring photographer, and was great with the kids who absolutely adored her. Highly recommended experience!

This was a great day... - This was a great day trip. The guide was very friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the history of the towns. She took me to eat at great spots that are popular with locals, which to me is always much more interesting than going to tourist spots. It rained a bit and the driver gave me his umbrella and jacket to stay warmer, which I was very grateful for! This tour is a great way to spend the day outside of Shanghai and see some very beautiful views and get some amazing photos

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.
