Top Shanghai Day Trips - page 3

The experience was marvellous. Our guide, Snow, was on time, friendly, organized and ready to go. She had us on our way in a pristine and cool van to Zhujiajiao in moments. The tour was informative, beautiful, patient and comfortable. We were never rushed, lunch was excellent and plentiful and shopping a bit with a guide helped us buy some bargains despite the inevitable expense of a place like this. There was no hard sell, no nothing just a fascinating few hours in a lovely and unique place. I rarely say this but it was everything I wanted and expected.

Myself and wife walked about 3 hours with TJ and experienced both authentic local food as well as learning about how locals live and where they shop and enjoy life. This was one of the best food walking tours I’ve done. Lots of great food and lots of great stories and learnings Had we done the food walking tour day one in Shanghai, I would have asked TJ to spend a day showing us the major sights of Shanghai….and to introduce us to didi and Alipay. Would have made our stay way more enjoyable and less stressful

We had a fantastic experience exploring Shanghai with our guide, Fei Fei. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about every place we visited. One of the best parts of the tour was the flexibility—we were able to choose the itinerary we wanted, and Fei Fei also provided alternative options based on the weather. Having a private car with AC was a huge benefit during the hot Shanghai summer, and the private tour format allowed us to move at our own pace and ask as many questions as we wanted throughout the day. Fei Fei was dedicated to us for the entire tour and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Overall, it was a great way to see the city and was absolutely worth the money. Highly recommend!

For some reason I was expecting a group tour like I've had in the past, your and your best friend plus 30 strangers on a bus, one tour guide with a microphone, that sort of thing. I did not realize that for this great price you could get a private tour with your very own tour guide just for our twosome! I also didn't realize it would be so complete, with cars at each interval for just the 3 of us to connect us to the next stop, and lunch would be whatever we wanted to order at a wonderful restaurant--it was nearly a banquet. All this was wonderful but the particularly great part of it was our guide Lin. She kept to English for us (my bestie is bilingual but I don't have a word of Chinese) and not only gave us facts about our tour but steered us toward great shopping opportunities, made sure we were comfortable at every step (it was broiling hot), made great recommendations at our restaurant, and was so incredibly kind and welcoming and conversational, it was like we'd made an instant friend. She was so splendid a person to get to know that I would absolutely ask for her again on any and every tour for which she was available. If you are looking for something one-on-one and to eat great food, get this tour, and if you want a terrific person to be your guide do ask for Lin, she's just amazing!

We had a very informative and organized tour. Judy was our tour guide and she was very professional. The only downside was that it was extremely hot (38°C), sunny and humid so we highly recommend having a hat, sunscreen, portable fan and cooling towel available. If you're not in decent shape, this tour is not for you.

We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Shanghai with Jane, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better guide. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to show us her city. It felt like spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend rather than being on a tour. Jane customized the day perfectly and made sure we got to experience both the iconic sights and the unique character of Shanghai. Walking along The Bund while she shared stories about the city's fascinating history and impressive skyline gave us a whole new appreciation for how Shanghai has evolved over the years. Visiting Yu Garden was another highlight, and Jane explained the history and symbolism behind the beautiful architecture and gardens in a way that made it so much more meaningful. We also loved wandering through the French Concession, where Jane pointed out hidden gems, historic buildings, and charming streets we never would have discovered on our own. The visit to Shanghai Tower was the perfect way to finish the day—the views were absolutely breathtaking, and Jane made sure we knew exactly what we were looking at as we admired the city from above. What really made the tour special was Jane herself. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, funny, and happy to answer every question we had. She paced the day perfectly, never making us feel rushed, and she even gave us fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, cafés, and places to explore after the tour. Every recommendation was excellent! This was one of the best tours we've ever done and easily one of the highlights of our trip to China. If you're visiting Shanghai, this tour is an absolute must. And if you're lucky enough to have Jane as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable day. Thank you, Jane, for helping us fall in love with Shanghai—we'll be talking about this experience for years to come!

The Water Town tour was the highlight of our visit to Shanghai! Our tour guide, Snow, was amazing! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was customized to exactly what we wanted to do, and Snow was flexible when we decided to switch a few of the sites. I highly recommend this tour and would request Snow again!

We had a wonderful tour exploring the beautiful night lights along the Huangpu River and the charming atmosphere of Yuyuan Old Street. The cruise offered stunning views of Shanghai’s illuminated skyline, making it a truly memorable experience. Our tour guide, Mary, was very knowledgeable, friendly and spoke very good English. She shared many interesting facts and stories about the city’s history and culture. As an added bonus, Mary is a great photographer and helped us capture fantastic photos throughout the tour. Thank you to the driver as well who ensured we reached our stops safely and for the excellent navigation.
