About this activity

You will be picked up by your private driver tour guide from your hotel or port at 10 am (weekend tours can be started early). After an hour's drive, you will arrive at the 600-year-old Water Town Zhujiajiao which is often compared to Venice.

You can start the boat ride first to get an idea of the old time life style in Southern China, and you can take some photos of the water town. After the boat ride, you will be walking along the old alleyways to see more local buildings and bridges, such as the FangSheng Bridge which is built about 400 years ago in the Ming Dynasty. Also, you will visit the 100 years old KeZhi Garden. The garden is dotted with pavilions, ponds, and bridges which add to the beauty of the natural landscape.

During lunch time, your tour guide will make some recommendation for local restaurants there, and lunch meal is at your own expense.

You will visit some local shops in the afternoon. After finishing the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel or back to port in Shanghai.

Tom was great with timing and comfortable car and driving. Did a walking tour of Zhujiaojiao and was extremely well versed and informative. did the gondola ride and a garden as nice as Yuyaun but the town not at all crowded and was very beautiful and relaxing

What a wonderful day trip with our guide Tom. He was incredibly knowledgeable and so nice. He picked us up at our hotel in downtown Shanghai spent half day with us and then for a small additional fee 40 dollars US he drove us to our second hotel at Shanghai Disneyland. It was a perfect private tour that was beautiful, historic and effortless! The boat ride was amazing as well and the gardens were my favorite!! Tom spoke fluent English and had many years of experience!! Couldnt have been a better trip!!

Cindy was a great tour guide. She was on-time for the pick up at our hotel. One the way to the venue she gave us many tips about what to see and do in Shanghai. She was truly knowledgeable on the historic details and key landmarks that we came across at Zhujiajiao. Most of all, the kids really warmed up to her. Awesome tour and good food!

Tom, our guide, arrived promptly at our hotel lobby at our agreed time. He drove us in a clean, air conditioned van to Zhujiajiao water town. Tom is very knowledgeable and presents information that makes the tour very interesting and educational. Without a guide it would be difficult to fully appreciate the history and culture of the town. Tom provided a private tour for our group of 3. I believe that the fee for this tour was very reasonable. Tom provided a 5 star service.

After my wife and I did this, we realized everything we thought China was, was wrong. I honestly didn't know what to expect. My wife and I had never been to China, and since I didn't have a phone that worked in China, I was ready for the logistics to fall through and lose all my money. Tom, our tour guide, showed up 10 minutes before our agreed time, walked right up to us in our hotel lobby and said our names in clear english. That was a relief. He then took us here where we were blown away at this little town. With him, you get a truly authentic China experience. We asked him a hundred questions about the city, China, what its like there, etc. He entertained all of our questions and the tour was so much more than we expected. We rode on one of the little river boats, walked along the market streets, had some delicious local food, saw some local gardens, bought some souvenirs, and said hello to some local pets! He took us through the gardens there and was full of insights into China's history. It was the smartest move we could have made to fill the time in our 24 hour layover. Oh yes and he dropped us off to ride the mag-lev train back to the airport like we asked. He's the perfect guide and very informative!
