Overview of your Shanghai tour

A full day to explore the water town of Zhouzhuang from Shanghai is a great introduction to the area and culture. This private tour will offer freedom and flexibility to enjoy the sightseeing and the goal is to have a satisfying trip. As one of the six great ancient towns in the south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhouzhuang enjoys its good reputation as "the No 1 water town in China". To some extent, it is on par with Venice in Italy, recounting its thousand-year history, displaying its gentle spirits, unique human landscapes and unsophisticated folk customs.

Zhouzhuang is a beautiful water town and a great place to spend a day. Qinqin organized a great excursion from Shanghai and everything went smoothly as I saw all the amazing sites around the town. A highlight was the gondola ride, and lunch at a local restaurant was delicious. Qinqin is a very knowledgeable and personable guide.

The guide was stuffed with all sorts of knowledge, from history to culture and architecture. Despite bad weather we had a great time and got deep insights in all the places we visited. Very cheerful and flexible, Qinqin adapted very fast to the changing conditions. Shanghai city was known as the own pocket. Could only recommend.
