Shanghai: Southern Great Wall Day Trip by Bullet Train

Daren_W, Nov 2026

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.

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.

Daren_W, Nov 2026

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 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 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.

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!

Michael_P, Nov 2026

Can’t recommend enough this incredible tour

Today we had wing as our guide and she was so sweet and knowledgeable. We had such a nice time learning about the history of China and Shanghai as well as getting to know her. As a true local Shanghai native she told us amazing stories of the changes Shanghai has seen over the years. Wing is very easy going and wanted us to make the schedule as it worked for us. We also had the opportunity to have an incredible Michelin star lunch. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a truly personalized tour.

Authentic Local Food Tour in Central Shanghai

S_K, Nov 2026

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.

Zhujiajiao Water Town and Shanghai City Private Day Tour

Lucinda_L, Oct 2026

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!
