Private versus the group trip
Civitatis lists a second Suzhou day trip that is not marked private, with fewer reviews (19) and a similar score. This private version has the larger track record.
Suzhou is known for its classical gardens and canals. Read the activity page for which stops are included.
Plan around the length
Eight hours door to door leaves your evening free. Hangzhou is the longest day trip, so Suzhou is the easier choice if time is short.
