Overall, a very nice walk! Patrick was our guide - excellent job!
Leo, our guide provided a lot of historical information outside the main topic Yu-Garden. It was very interesting. The Garden itself is wonderful and I, by myself, would ban other people to enjoy the beauty alone, hahaha. Total recommendation for this tour and this guide.
Leo was excellent during the tour and very informative
Linda was as lovely as she was excellent!! She took extra good care of us, showed us all there was to see and then made sure we had so many dumplings that we decided we didn’t need an evening meal that day! She was also very anxious that we found our taxi back to the hotel. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you 🥰
Excelente el guía con mucha experiencia y mucho conocimiento
Very interesting and worth the money. I am glad I did the early morning tour as it was not yet busy and not too hot.
It was a great tour and Vicky was amazing!
Vicky was an amazing tour guide. Everything was super well organized. She could answer to all our questions and we tasted an amazing soup. Recommended !
I loved the visit. Tom was an excellent guide. It was very interesting. He also helped me visit the Bund and showed me how to have a taxi. I highly recommend
Nos encantó, el guía fue muy atento con nosotros y estuvo siempre al pendiente de tomarnos fotos en toda partes
The visit of the garden was very pleasant in the company of the guide Julie who was also knowledgeable. I recommend the visit
