All Shanghai Tours & Excursions in 2026

Snow was an outstanding guide. She was extremely knowledgeable not only about the water town, but also about Shanghai as a whole, which added so much to the experience. The water town was beautiful and full of fantastic food and interesting vendors. Snow met us at our hotel with the driver, and everything was easy and well organized from the start. The drive can take about an hour depending on where you are staying in Shanghai, but it is definitely worth it. A really memorable part of the trip was that Snow even taught my wife some Chinese on the drive, which was such a thoughtful and fun extra touch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience something a little different outside of the usual Shanghai attractions.

Such an efficient way to be able to see both old and modern Shanghai when you are pressed for time! My co-workers and I were on a work trip and had a short window to be able to see some of the sites. We got to see the best of the best on this tour! Our tour guide was so sweet and knowledgeable. Although the weather didn’t cooperate and it was raining pretty hard, because we had the car, we still managed to enjoy the tour.

Kimi was a brilliant guide. The day was well organised and delivered, and Kimi explained everything in English really well. Lunch was also spectacular, so make sure you are hungry! All the vehicles we went in were very clean and organised well, and we really enjoyed seeing so much of Suzhou in one day. Thank you Kimi!

We loved this tour! I recommend it to all foodies. The places we visited were mostly family owned business with traditional Shanghai food. We got to take a peak inside kitchens and bakeries, which was a lot of fun. The food tastings were yum and the portions were big. I was definitely full afterwards. This well-organised and interesting tour is a great addition your trip to Shanghai.

Emma was a great guide. The trip was well planned, informative and enjoyable. The included lunch was also delicious, great choice of restaurant by Emma. We were able to tell Emma what we wanted to do more of, or less of depending on our fitness levels and likes.

Lucy was a wonderful guide and had extensive knowledge of the Zhujiajiao Water Town and Old Shanghai. I especially enjoyed the canal boat ride and the temple gardens. Lucys knowledge was extensive and she brought me back to that time. The experience was surreal.

We had an incredible experience customizing our day tour and spending it with Tina. From the very start, she made everything feel seamless—teaching us how to navigate the metro using our Alipay apps and guiding us to the Jade Buddha Temple. Thanks to her, we felt confident enough to use the train on our own later in the trip, which ended up being a much more affordable and local way to get around compared to DiDi. One of the highlights of the day was when she introduced us to the city’s bike-sharing system. We took a ride to our next stop, and it was truly magical for me. Coming from a hilly city without much biking infrastructure, this was such a unique and memorable experience. We also explored the French Concession, where Tina pointed out beautiful photo spots along the way and helped us capture some great memories. We took a relaxing break at a local café, where she introduced us to her favorite treat—Kaisling chestnut cake, a Shanghai staple—which was absolutely delicious. Throughout the day, Tina went above and beyond to help us communicate with shopkeepers and navigate local spots with ease. We strolled along the Bund, enjoyed amazing soup dumplings at a spot she recommended, and learned so much from her deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture. On top of that, we really appreciated the easy, natural conversations we shared—it made the experience feel even more personal and enjoyable. To top it all off, Tina took so many fantastic photos of us during the day and conveniently airdropped them at the end of the tour. It was such a thoughtful touch. We can’t recommend this tour—and Tina—highly enough. It was truly one of the best ways to experience the city!

Today we do private tour to Hangzhou. Caroline is the tour leader. She is a very friendly, cheerful, and bright person. Going on this one day trip with her is very enjoyable. She shows us a lot of tips and is very helpful throught out the trip. She takes pictures for us, explain the history well, and she also help us order the best and most delicious food I've ever taste.
