Things to note
We will visit outside Yuyuan Garden, including nine zigzag bridges and a mid-lake pavilion. Not only that, but we won’t go inside the Yuyuan garden to visit.
Our tours are always kept to small groups to create a friendly, conversational atmosphere where travellers can meet each other and interact with local people. For this reason, we don’t accept large group bookings of more than 6 people.
How can the tour be free?
Our concept is simple — there is no set price. Instead, you tip your guide at the end of the tour whatever amount feels right to you. Typically, guests give between $10 to €50, depending on their satisfaction and budget.
Most guides accept cash or card payments, or you can do it via our app.
Cancellation policy
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
