Great learning experience - Annie was our tour guide and was a great fit for us. We are a homeschool family. We travel as a part of our learning experiences. Annie did a great job providing history and informative insight on Chinese culture that we would never get from reading a book. She was great with my children/students. She tailored our experience to match their interests and levels of understanding (ages 5-12)! Everyone had fun and learned lots. THANK YOU Annie!!!

Great afternoon trip - This is a beautiful little town with local food and shops and amazing views. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend for an afternoon in Shanghai. Annie was a great guide, she’s very knowledgeable and has a fun and friendly personality. She fit in with our group well and was helpful and kind. Our group does not speak Chinese at all and she was great with helping us navigate shopping with the locals and explaining all of the various food and local items we were seeing.

Nice and Relaxing tour - The spot is quite interesting, gardens well maintained and local stores gives an unique experience. Additionally there was a boat tour. Our guide Sammi was a polite and nice person. Her English is fluent and doesn’t have the Chinese accent, she did a good job. I recommend this tour and particularly with Sammi.

Quiet break from bustling Shanghai - What a wonderful morning spent with Annie! We were picked up on time and reached the town earlier than expected. The streets were quiet as Annie walked us through telling us everything about the history and day-to-day of the town. The gardens were beautiful and the boat ride was short but sweet. Annie went above and beyond to assist us in ordering some local delicacies and then we also had some free time to wander through the markets. Annie was a very knowledgeable guide and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai!

Must do for Shanghai visitors! - This is a great tour for Shanghai visitors that gives you a totally different perspective and experience. Frankly, if I had known of this attraction and tour I would've done it years ago on my first visit. This was our second tour with Sunny's company, booked at the last minute as a result of our great experience on our Shanghai walking tour, and we were not disappointed. Aron picked us up promptly, and we enjoyed an easy drive of an hour or so. Aron was terrific and went the extra mile - my daughter was trying to submit an online school assignment but we had trouble with the hotel connection so she was freaking out a bit thinking she was going to miss the deadline. Aron offered his connection through his provider during the drive, walked us through what we needed to do on his personal phone, and all was accomplished! The tour itself is terrific, a great little water village with shops, foods and sights that are hard to find now in central Shanghai. Aron was super knowledgable and friendly. We had a great day and this was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!
