What are people saying about Shanghai

Jonathan_C, Jun 2026

Great tour; great value; GREAt guide!

To start with, make certain that they assign Lily to you. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and a problem solver extraordinaire! This is a full day, with walking, crowds and a great deal to see. Be prepared! In our case, we had to travel slower due to a recent injury. But Lily made things happen and we got through just about everything! We did cut the Garden short by choice, as this afternoon was incredibly busy to the point it was difficult for us. Again, Lily navigated around things for us. The included lunch was absolutely delicious, and plentiful. This was not “here’s what you get” - our lunches were ordered as we decided off the menu, accommodating different tastes and diets. Again, Lily handled this for us with ease and helped making tremendous choices. In short - this was a great tour and delivered a lot for the value. Again, ask for Lily!

Pleasant experience

We had a wonderful day with Snow. She picked us up right on time at the hotel and confirmed our schedule. She also asked if there were any modifications we wanted to make on the day. She was very flexible and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful day. She even made suggestions for shopping based upon our wants. She had great suggestions. We had a blast eating, shopping and seeing the sights. We would definitely do it again. This turned out to be my son’s favorite city because of Snow and the tour.

Very good experience.

Very good trip. Lucy was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and tailored the trip to my interests. I would highly recommend this tour. You get to explore a lot of little shops and get to sample various foods. I was taken to a silk embroidery place that let me try to embroider a little bit and a tea tasting where there was delicious teas (i bought some). The dinner allowed me to try some traditional chinese cuisine as well. The tour of Kezhi guarden was really good to learn some history about the town and the boat ride was short but beautiful. It was recommended to see this town at night as well. So I might come back. Over all very good experience.

Unforgettable Night Time River Cruise down the Huangpu

The night time river boat cruise on the Huangpu with Queena was absolutely amazing. She did a fantastic job with making this cruise unforgettable. Queena is very knowledgeable and has a terrific personality which made this cruise a must when your come to Shanghai. Queena was right on time for pickup at the hotel and truly made this trip something that I will never forget. If you have a chance you should request Queena as your tour guide.

I wanted to find a few...

I wanted to find a few good and reliable places to frequent for food during my stay in Shanghai and I thought doing a food tour would be the perfect way to do that. I was not wrong. The tour with Jim was wonderful and he took us to many places I never would have found on my own! Highly recommend if you're in Shanghai and want to get away from the tourist traps and have an experience curated by a guide who has spent years building personal relationships with the many local vendors. The tour takes the full amount of time and involves covering some distance on foot (always the best way to see a city). But if you're worried about all the walking, don't, Jim checks in regularly and the pacing is not strenuous. 10/10 would recommend. I just wish there was a Jim in every city I visit 😆

Recommended Half Day Tour Fro. Shanghai

I would very much highly recommend the Company, “ Amazing Shanghai Trip” and guide Queena. The Company gave excellent information and their contact after booking and before the trip. Queena, my guide was also fantastic. Great knowledge and we had interesting discussions and her English is perfect. I highly recommend the tour, beautiful small town with a lot of history, and very close to Shanghai. I would give 6 stars if I could to the Company and Queena. Thank you.

LI ZHAOCHEN The Best Tour Guide In Shanghai

They should know that my experience with Li Zhaochen our guide was exceptional and flawless. It started at our hotel which was at least 1/2 hour out of their meeting point and he picked us up. He made sure we had the best experience and that we arrived at our destination Shanghai: Southern Great Wall Day Trip by Bullet Train on time and safe. He was very kind and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience - he helped taking pictures, he gave us the history and customs of the places we visited in addition to the Wall - Taizhou Fucheng was one of them and since it was our first time on the bullet train he even took us out prior to us getting on it so we could video it coming into the station. We had a traditional lunch at a restaurant he had selected and he had listened to our likes and dislikes without us noticing. He had a private room for us with a spread of various custom dishes which tasted delicious and took care of our vegetarian and the person in our group who did not eat chicken nor fish. The food was freshly made and delicious. There was a person who wanted iced tea which they are not accustomed to having and he obtained it for them. He had drivers all set up who were safe and also pleasant. He even had raincoats and water for us. When we finished our tour we wanted to continue shopping and he helped us set up a ride back to the hotel. I cannot fully explain how helpful and enjoyable he made us feel and I know this is not the only tour he guides so if I were you I would ask for him without hesitation! Thank you so much LI ZHAOCHEN . I wish you the best.

A Fantastic Day Exploring Old and New Shanghai

Excellent tour and a fantastic introduction to Shanghai. The itinerary balanced the city’s historic sites and modern districts perfectly. Our guide brought the city to life with informative commentary and local insights throughout the day. The Chinese gardens in Old Shanghai and the tea tasting experience were standout highlights. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring local Shanghai specialties. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the best of Shanghai in a single day.
