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!★

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: Fengjing Watertown Private Tour: Lunch and Boat Included (More Authentic than Zhujiajiao)
Guest User2025-06-13
We loved our day trip! Laura was an amazing guide, and explained so well about all the things we saw, she also happily explained to us about China and Chinese culture. The itinerary was really well planned, and never felt rushed. We saw a lot of things! The water town was so beautiful, and it was super interesting to see the bunker and hear about the cultural revolution. The food was really good also! We also got a beautiful fan with a picture of the town. The car trip was also smooth and she answered all our questions happily:) We really recommend this tour!★
