What are people saying about Shanghai

David_F, Oct 2026

An excellent introduction to Shanghai - Don't Miss it!

My trip to Shanghai came up at the last minute and based upon the reviews, I booked the tour the night before. Despite such a late booking, the tour organizers reached out to me almost immediately and followed up to make sure that I understood where to meet the driver and guide. The driver was courteous, professional, and a very safe driver. The vehicle was a nearly new EV with leather captain’s chairs in the rear — very comfortable. Without question, Wing, the tour guide, was the absolute highlight of the day. Despite inclement weather and the National Day holiday, Wing made for a very enjoyable day. A lifetime resident of Shanghai, she was able to provide extensive local color and backstory to each of the main sites that we visited. There wasn’t a single question that was asked of her that she couldn’t answer. While the agenda was designed in advance, there was plenty of time to customize it to your liking -- more or less time at a location, detours for meals and shopping, etc. While it’s impossible to see all of one of the world’s largest cities in a single day, the mix of locations provided great insight into the complex history of the city, from Imperial aged temples and gardens, the colonial era waterfront, the birth of the PRC, to the ultra modern skyscrapers of Pudong, there’s literaly something for everyone. Five stars - highest recommendation!

Shanghai: Southern Great Wall Day Trip by Bullet Train

Mark_G, Oct 2026

A wonderful day!

An early start, collected and dropped off at train station and met by Summer. Then onto the bullet train to Linhai, which was smooth & fast and we loved the journey. We spent the day with summer visiting the ancient city and then to the wall. A very warm beautiful day for a walk along the wall, to see the views and with lots of stories from Summer. The walks were perfect and lunch was very tasty. A bit of shopping and walk through the ancient town to see beautiful pagodas and then onto the lake before we headed back to the station. A full day which was made all the better by Summer! Highly recommend the tour. A very long day but worth it!

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.

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.

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!

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. ❤️
