A Wonderful Shanghai Experience

I had a wonderful experience on my Shanghai tour. The city is absolutely fascinating, with such a beautiful mix of history, culture, and modern life. A special thank you to my guide, Sammi, who made the experience even better. She was very kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and explained the history behind the places we visited in a very interesting way. Everything was well organized and the service was excellent. I really enjoyed discovering Shanghai and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city.

Shari_O, Oct 2026

Food and fun and friends

I had a fantastic afternoon with my guide, Jim. He was not only knowledgeable about the neighbourhoods we were in, and the history and customs of the Chinese people but also, he was just wonderful to be with. I felt like I made a new friend. I don't normally do food tours, but this one was awesome, and I would highly recommend it.

This was a well organized tour to see the highlights of Shanghai. Our guide, Annie, was friendly, with a great sense of humor, and shared lots of interesting information about local history and culture. I would highly recommend the tour particularly if you only have a short stay and would like a good introduction to the city.

We had an amazing experience with Annie! The trip stared with a surprisingly luxurious transportation. We then really enjoyed the history and cultural lessons with Annie. She showed us around the markets and was so welcoming. We didn’t have to worry about any planning or trip details. We loved this trip as a way to venture outside of Shanghai and see some other parts of the city!

Private Full-Day Tour: Incredible Shanghai Highlights

English Translated Private Car and Tour (with Guide)

Shanghai was a new experience, and neither of us spoke English. The English speakers in Shanghai are not numerous, so a guided tour with an English Interpreter was arranged. The tour was great, the interpreter was awesome, the private vehicle moving us around was a blessing, and the price was very reasonable. Would highly recommend. Cathy was a font of information, friendly, helpful, and her English was great. We did other tours in Shanghai, and trust me, English-speaking doesn't always mean English-speaking. I was very pleased.

Shanghai: Southern Great Wall Day Trip by Bullet Train

Lorna_B, Sept 2026

Emma made our day to the Southern Wall exceptionall

Emma was an incredible tour guide! She was personable, timely, courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely took each of us and our individual needs into consideration throughout the entire day. Her advice regarding the different entrance options for the Southern Great Wall was especially helpful. She carefully explained what each option involved, including the additional 200–300 steps after the Warrior/Hero’s Slope to reach the top, which allowed us to make an informed decision about the route that was right for us. Our entire day was planned perfectly. After coming down from the Great Wall in the heat, Emma even treated us to ice cream before lunch so we could cool down — such a thoughtful and very welcome surprise! Lunch itself was absolutely amazing. The entire tour was an incredible experience for all three of us. On a personal level, I have difficulty walking, and climbing the Great Wall was a significant challenge for me. With Emma’s guidance, patience, and encouragement, I made it! That is an experience I will never forget. All three of us would wholeheartedly recommend Emma. Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and ability to make the day enjoyable for each of us made this an unforgettable experience in China. We could not have asked for a better guide!

Zhujiajiao Water Town and Shanghai City Private Day Tour

Laurie_M, Sept 2026

Perfect day in Shanghai and Zhujiajiao!

Our private tour of Zhujiajiao Water Town and Shanghai was the highlight of our trip, and that's thanks to our guide, Blair. She was amazing from start to finish. She even played hide and seek with our son, which made him feel like he had a new friend for the day. Blair picked a fantastic spot for lunch, and she was totally flexible all day, adjusting the pace to what worked for our family. We saw so much and never felt rushed. If you want a day that's easy, fun, and family-friendly, book this tour and ask for Blair. Highly recommend!

All-inclusive Half-day Private Tour To Zhujiajiao Water Town

Brad_W, Sept 2026

Great way to spend the day. MUST!

Outstanding part of my Shanghai trip. It’s a hike from city center—and traffic can make this a pain, so you might consider a train/metro option—but the town itself was so cool. Casual small boat cruise to start and then walking around the area. Great restored garden. Lots of cool local shops. Great food. HIGHLY recommend

Private Suzhou Day Trip from Shanghai by Bullet Train with All Inclusive Option

Hamid_Y, Sept 2026

One of the most beautiful days of our entire trip – thank you, Caroline! ❤️

Caroline was an absolute dream! From the very first moment, she welcomed us so warmly and made us feel incredibly comfortable. This honestly became one of the most beautiful and memorable days of our entire trip. She is an absolute professional and somehow always knew exactly where to go, where to stand and how to take the perfect photos. Some of the most beautiful pictures from our entire journey were taken with Caroline, and we will keep those memories forever. A very funny and sweet surprise: we are Iranian, and Caroline even knew a little Persian! That made the experience even more special and showed us once again how much knowledge, passion and personality she brings to her tours. We loved everything about the day – especially the rickshaw ride, the beautiful boat ride, the food and all the little moments in between. Everything was organized so smoothly that we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. For the price, this tour is an absolute must-do. Caroline is genuinely one of the best tour guides I have ever had, and I have done many tours around the world. We would recommend her again and again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Caroline, for giving us such a beautiful day. We are incredibly grateful that we got to experience it with you. ❤️
