Zhujiajiao Water Town: So Much Fun!
Annie was outstanding again on day 2 of our broader Shanghai experiences! Today, we enjoyed the Zhujiajiao Water Town Private Tour with Boat Ride. The weather was perfect to enjoy walking through the gardens and riding the boat through the river canals. Our lunch was incredible with a mix of all the local specialties. The transportation was very comfortable and a nice hour drive each way. We highly recommend this private tour for a relaxing and personable experience as part of your Shanghai visit.

So, this is a long day...
So, this is a long day trip and it is not ‘The’ Great Wall of the north but it is still a ‘great’ wall to visit from Shanghai in one day. This wall actually pre-dates the northern wall and formed the foundation for features of the northern wall. You also get to visit the historic east lake (lunch included in a friendly local restaurant) and take a stroll through the old main Street of Linhai afterwards before heading back to train. The communication from the tour company and our friendly guide Jordan prior to the trip was excellent and they even arranged a direct pick up from my hotel even though it wasn’t a direct option through Viator, this was a big help to us on the day. The driver who took us to the train station was waiting perfectly on time with a comfortable modern car and the bullet train trip was extremely comfortable with spotless modern carriages which made the journey really pleasant.

Best tour ever!!
The tour with Wing was absolutely amazing.
Her English was impeccable. Wing was really informative and showed us lots of great places. We really enjoyed the tea ceremony and all the secret places that we would not have discovered on our own. The car we had was beyond luxury..felt like a celebrity driving around in it. Best part was the food.. wing took us to a local dumpling place thats not really a tourist one..brilliant.
Thanks Wing for everything you did, we achieved and were able to see so much within the hours.... we will be booking a tour with Wing next time we are in China.

Incredible Shanghai Tour
Sean was fantastic. His English was incredible and he was very knowledgeable about all of the sights and history of the area. Sean was extremely personable and patient. We enjoyed the private tour and having a private car made the experience seamless.

Great Shanghai VIP tour
Overall it was great experience. Michael gave as real VIP treatment. On time pick up, no lines, great food.
We enjoyed all three activities (river cruise, dinner and Shanghai tower observation deck). Michael is
very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He did everything to make sure we were having a good time. I would highly recommend this VIP tour.

Even before our trip...
Even before our trip started the communication from the tour company was excellent. Everything was well prepared and worked perfectly, for time, from the moment we got picked up at the hotel. Very courteous drivers with modern and clean cars and the ride on the bullet train was faultless. Our guide Kimi spoke great English and explained fully the details of each stop and the associated history each step of the way. The included lunch was also excellent and in a really pleasant setting.

We were guided by Snow...
We were guided by Snow for a half day tour of the ancient water town. The experience was really amazing and she was super attentive and knowledgable throughout the day. The trip was really memorable and we explored everything the town had to offer. Lunch was perfect and she took us to the best shops. Everything was well taken care of, and we were left feeling satisfied at the end of the day.

This was one of the best...
This was one of the best day tours of my trip to China. Suzhou is beautiful, but what truly made the experience special was our guide. The guide was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating historical and cultural insights at every location. Everything was well organized, and the guide was always ready to help with questions and recommendations. The tour felt personalized and enjoyable from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Shanghai area.

Wonderful
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ling! She made my time in Shanghai truly special. From the moment we met, she was so warm, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She has a wealth of knowledge about the city’s history and culture, and I loved how she shared it in such an interesting and engaging way. What really stood out to me was how genuinely kind and thoughtful she was throughout the experience. It felt more like exploring Shanghai with a friend than being on a guided tour. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to meet her, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Shanghai. If you’re lucky enough to have Ling as your guide, you’re in great hands!

Exceptional Experience!
Our guide, Han, clearly loved food and spoke English well. She took us to places that we would never dare try on our own; they were authentic and delicious. In between eating, we stopped for fruit, at a market and for tea. We did not leave the tour hungry. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we recommend it for anyone who loves food.

Exceptional Tour in Shanghai!
The tour was incredible! We started at 9AM and Snow picked us up from our hotel. She showed us the Shanghai Tower and the Bund, sharing with us the details of every building and the history of it. We went to the Yu Garden and explored around the park. She took us to a local lunch place where we shared a family style Shanghainese cuisine. After lunch, we went to the Water Town, took a boat ride, and walked alongside the beautiful canal. Snow recommended that we see the ERA show which was so exciting to watch! She dropped us off at the show and escorted us inside. The tour ended at around 6:30pm. I'd recommend Snow to everyone! She was so considerate, kind, and thoughtful! She answered all of our questions about the history of Shanghai as well as all of our cultural and lifestyle questions! I've never had a tour guide who was so accommodating and caring of the group!

Known as “The Paris of the East,” Shanghai is China's biggest and most prosperous city. Even the locals can’t do it all. That’s why Shanghai tours are the best way to maximize your time. Instead of looking down at a map, let your expert guide show you around sites such as the Shanghai Museum, the Yuyuan Garden, and the Jade Buddha Temple. Or opt for a food tour through the French Concession, a cruise on the Zhujiajiao canals, or even a day trip to Beijing, where you can walk on the Great Wall of China.
