Top Shanghai Day Trips - page 5

We had a wonderful family experience visiting Jujiajiao Ancient Town with our tour guide, Snow! We were contacted by several days in advance to confirm our pick up time and logistical details. Though our entire trip, she was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, making the day feel relaxed and enjoyable. She guided us through the beautiful ancient water town, including a visit to the gardens and a peaceful boat ride along the canals. Throughout the tour, Snow thoughtfully explained the symbolism embedded in the design of the gardens, helping us appreciate the cultural depth and history behind what we were seeing. What stood out most was her attentiveness to our family’s needs, especially accommodating our grandpa with limited mobility. She was very considerate in pacing the tour, making sure we had frequent rest stops so everyone could fully enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Lunch was a highlight as well—a delicious, home-style meal that gave us a warm taste of local cuisine. Snow also offered helpful recommendations on what to buy and gave us plenty of time to explore and shop at local spots, which made the visit feel unhurried and personal. We ended the day with a bit more time than planned because we were enjoying ourselves so much, and Snow remained patient and gracious throughout. This trip created long-lasting memories for our family, and we’re truly grateful to Snow for making it so special.

My guide, KIMI has an excellent command of English along side with a wealth of knowledge in Chinese history. His timing schedule for the respective visits to the beautiful gardens were perfect. We covered pretty much in accordance of the planned itinerary. My visit to the lotus garden at Zhuozhengyuan was the highlight of my day trip in Suzhou. The entire ambience was breathtaking! Enjoyed it to the fullest.

Nico was so great and such a wonderful guide. I went during a very rainy season and when she noticed we were having issues with mosquitoes, she went out of her way to get us some insect repellent. The food and restaurants were amazing and I appreciate the mix of small local businesses and more well known spots we went too. Come hungry! It was a good amount of yummy food and walking to balance everything out.

Me and my sister went on this amazing tour. Our tour guide, snow, was very friendly and had so much knowledge of the temples and local erea. We are local food for lunch, which you could tell was chosen for quality and good service! The staff was very nice, the food came out quick and was very tasty!

It is a well curated initial introduction to downtown Shanghai, China's rich history & culture, packed into a 4-5 hour program. Insightful, educational and an extremely pleasant experience. Alana, Snow and the driver were each exceptional in their service delivery to us. Snow took immense pleasure in sharing her knowledge in all aspects of the program and we learnt a lot from her, She is indeed a valuable part of the entire experience.

Linda was absolutely amazing — so friendly, warm, and welcoming from the moment we met her. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and shared so many interesting facts and stories throughout the experience. You can tell she truly loves what she does. Her kindness and enthusiasm made everything even more enjoyable. Highly recommend touring with Linda!

Judy was incredibly sweet and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Even though it was raining, she still went out of her way in the rain to make sure we got the best scenic views possible. She also adjusted the timing for us and made the entire Viator experience quick, easy, and seamless. We truly appreciated her effort, flexibility, and kindness throughout the experience.

I was apprehensive about booking a tour guide for a solo day experience in Shanghai, but I need not have worried. May is an excellent tour guide. She was so patient with all my questions and incredibly knowledgable about everywhere we went. I made multiple changes to the original suggested itinerary making this even more impressive. Alana behind the scenes was always attentive ensuring the whole experience went smoothly and our driver was on point. Always close by ready for the next stop. May made the experience so worthwhile I will plan to book a similar tour when I get my wife to come to Shanghai.
