Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + City God Temple Traditional Culture Experience: Preview the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival with Optional Chinese Tea
Guest User2025-11-30
Teacher Mao was very professional. A native of Shanghai, she was extremely familiar with Yu Garden and provided a very detailed explanation throughout the tour. The process wasn't tiring at all. We heard many stories about the garden, some of which weren't even online but were only recorded in the county annals. It was very vivid and interesting. She even took us to the City God Temple before the tour ended. It was definitely worth the trip! Yu Garden truly needs a guided tour; otherwise, you simply won't understand it! This trip was very worthwhile!★

Guest User2025-06-26
The driver and guide Joe is a really wonderful person. We were a group of 5 people and he helped us a lot. One of us is a person in a wheelchair, so he helped even with it coz he had to move in such a wheelchair for half a year.★

Reviews: Half-day at Shanghai Natural History Museum and Huangpu River night cruise with headsets and professional tour guide service
Guest User2024-12-01
The guide was responsible and approachable, adjusting the depth and method of explanation based on the children's age and interests. The children were very engaged and the interaction was very interactive. It was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River night cruise ticket, including buffet dinner, with optional Dragon Boat or Crystal Princess departing from Shiliupu Pier 3
Guest User2025-08-26
Delicious food and the best view of the city you could wish for. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the entire panorama. The boat wasn't crowded, and you could reserve a seat on deck for the tour for a small surcharge. But the view is also fantastic otherwise.★

Reviews: Flexible Half Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Water Town with Boat Ride from Shanghai
Guest User2024-07-17
The tour beautifully balanced history and modernity. Zhujiajiao Water Town and the French Concession showcased Shanghai's rich past, while the Bund and the Peace Hotel exemplified the city's vibrant present. The seamless blend of these elements made for a fascinating and informative journey.
