What are people saying about Shanghai

jessica_h, Nov 2026

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!

Great experience! A fun...

Great experience! A fun and informative trip, lead by a wonderful guide, Summer. She was incredibly friendly, speaks great English, and took time to answer any questions we had. I booked this with my 78 year old father and Summer was very considerate in keeping the pace reasonable for both of us. The portion of the Great Wall we saw was amazing, especially when situated next to both modern and historic architecture. Also saw beautiful views of the East lake and gardens. Definitely worth the trip!

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!

Great sites to visit - West Lake, Tea fields, Liying Temple. Guide was awesome. Very attentive to everything. Explained everything thoroughly. I learned so much more than I expected. The full tour was all worth it. First class train seats, delicious lunch at a restaurant that is beautiful and displayed a lot of cultural details. Key is be ontime as there was a lot of traffic. But amazing trip and will likely do it again, with adjustments to spending more time in my favorite area, when I come back.
