    Both cities were spectacular. We made several stops, but one of my favourite activities was the boat ride and the delicious lunch.

    I went with my 3 children and my wife. We came to the Asian continent for the first time and we chose the best tour to close our trip. We look forward to coming back.

    Interesting tour, full of history. Both Suzhou and Hangzhou are magical cities, I had no idea there was anything like that around here. It reminded me a lot of my trip to Venice!
