We were picked up promptly at the time arranged. Nini (our guide) was very cheerful and very informative. Her English was good and we appreciated her local knowledge. We really enjoyed the water town itself. Despite what I had read, the day we visited the village was not over-run with tourists even though it was a fine day. The local shops obviously cater for the tourist trade, but the shop owners live in the town (often above the shop) so this made it feel more authentic. Our visit to the silk factory was informative, but more time was spent there than necessary. The process and products were fascinating. The Chinese style dinner was tasty - at a restaurant in a bustling Chinese food precinct. We were in a corner that had storage shelves beside, but we enjoyed the cuisine. We did think we would be dining on the river, but this was not the case. The river cruise is very pretty with all the buildings around the Bund lit up. It took less than an hour, but was a great experience. Nini left us after the cruise and the driver returned us to our hotels. The only real negative of the day was the condition of the mini-van. It was older and had a lot of major squeaks and rattles, not enough seat belts, and very poor suspension. There were 3 of us in the back seat and by the end of the evening we had sore backs from the rough ride. That aside, I would recommend the tour as being good value for money and a great experience.

It's not so much a tour as it is transfers and assistance. But worth it for the ease, Shanghai has been hard to navigate. Although our guide did give us some information on the drive to Zhujiajiao. The water town is definitely worth seeing - boat rides cost extra but worth it. The silk museum was interesting and we rushed through it at our pace! Dinner was not on board the river cruise, it was in a little cheap looking local place, but was interesting. The cruise was stunning!! You can pay 50rmb each and go out the front- do it!!! It was insanely crowded otherwise.

Not a “mini” group but rather large. Not even a “tour” just a ride to Zhujiajiao with instructions to meet back up after an hour of free time. The part of town they take you to is HIGHLY commercialized, skip it. Silk “museum” is actually a shop where they put the pressure on to buy and don’t let you leave for a long time. Dinner: worst food in shanghai, barely edible, also NOT onboard like advertised. More free time on the bund while you wait for cruise, oh wait the tour operator didn’t get tickets early enough for the cruise so it’s another 45 minutes of free time on the bund! Finally get to the riverboat cruise, VERY crowded, but still best part of tour. Drop off at hotel takes foreeeeeeeeeeever because they have to drop everyone else off first. Skip this tour. Pay a little more and get something worthwhile. Also, tour guide Jason was full of misogynistic jokes so if that’s your style then maybe you should go on the tour.

We purchased 2 tours and had the pleasure of having Ding as our guide for both tours. He took us to the watertown and led us through the narrow streets. Our tour included a gondala ride through the city. Wonderful!
