- Shanghai - The pickup is at 9:30 am, from where you request in the city. It takes, in a normal situation, about 70 minutes to drive to Zhujiajiao that is in the west suburb of Shanghai.
- Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - The tour is for those who appreciate both sightseeing as well as good information, as the guide is a thinker on Chinese culture as well as different cultures in the world. In Zhujiajiao Water Village, you will spend altogether 4 hours being integral in it, with her people and customs. Walk around in the old streets browsing the display of all the rustic foods. Take a breezy gondola ride in lulling rock. Have a homey lunch at a table (air-conditioned in summer) by the canal. Visit a private garden in classical Chinese style. Sip some tea / coffee in a quaint ambience by another branch canal. Throughout the tour, you are in the hands of a guide who loves to share his take from a life perspective, who cares to talk some soul and essence of what you see, who can reveal a slice of what and how Chinese really think, say and live, who work on some humanitarian studies of western philosophy and culture diversity, all from his personal perspective as a lively worm in the earth.

Awesome Day Trip from Shanghai - Our tour guide Harris provided our family with a day we will never forget. He met us at our hotel and drove us about an hour to the water village of Zhujiajio. We walked the canals and ate the great street food along the way. We then visited a private villa in town with amazing antique furniture, statues, paintings and tapestry. What an amazing private residence. We finished the trip in the water village with a fun gondola ride. However the highlight of the trip was a visit to a farm house just outside of town where our family was treated to an amazing traditional meal along with a tour of the property. What a memorable experience. Harris is a great guide and we look forward to recommend him to any folks who are lucky enough to visit Shanghai.

The village was lovely and the lunch was excellent. It was such a special and unique experience having lunch at Uncle Woo's home. We really appreciated all the care they put into making us a delicious lunch. All in all it was a 10 tour!</p>

This tour was fantastic. Autumn was... - <p>This tour was fantastic. Autumn was our tour guide and shared great info on China and Shanghai. The organic lunch was the highlight. We toured an organic farm with the farmer and her wife. They picked the fresh veggies and then cooked them for us. And to top it off, the farmers wife showed us how to make dumplings. Then we walked thru the city, and went on a private gondola ride in the canals. Highly recommend this tour.</p>

From the time we were picked up at our hotel to when we were dropped off Harris looked after us with great care. His English is excellent, his choice of destinations proved interesting and the addition of a visit to a country village and lunch with a lovely farmer and his wife was without doubt a highlight. We felt honoured to be allowed to share in their home and experience how they lived. Harris also gave us some tips on places to visit in Shanghai and was generous with sharing his knowledge and his time. I would highly recommend this tour and particularly Harris as the tour guide to anyone visiting Shanghai. Thanks Harris - Pam, Jon, Rob and Kerry</p>
