Reviews: Shanghai Van Gogh Starry Sky Museum + ERA Circus Acrobatic Show Night Tour [7:30 PM Session]
Guest User2025-12-15
The show was rescheduled, and the trip.com staff worked incredibly well. Thank you for your support and the rescheduling. The ERA2 circus show was very colorful, but it's a shame the hour flew by, a bit short. Afterward, we went looking for the Van Gogh Museum. We had a hard time finding it and trying to get in—the employee didn't want to let us in, and we didn't have internet to show him our trip.com confirmation, as he requested. After 20 minutes of negotiating, he gave us the Wi-Fi password and saw the confirmation. The museum was interesting, and you can take lots of great photos in its locations.★

Reviews: Shanghai Private Food and Culture Tour (Breakfast or Dinner; 10 Dishes at 5 Eateries)
Guest User2025-10-29
Excellent tour of central Shanghai with Michael. It is more than a food tour as he gives a detailed history of China, Shanghai and the buildings we walk past. Food was all excellent. A good introduction to the city for our first day.★

Reviews: Shanghai Private French Concession Tour: Alley to Mansion (Xintiandi, Tianzifang, WuKang)
Guest User2025-05-13
A truly wonderful travel experience! It was my first time in Shanghai, and the French Concession was my top choice. My guide Laura, was warm, friendly, and shared many fascinating stories about China. The whole tour had a very smooth pace — we walked, had a coffee break, and even tried some hands-on activities. For example, we made a lacquer fan in a local studio, which was such a fun and unique experience! I highly recommend this tour!★

Reviews: Shanghai private guided one-day tour to Fengjing Ancient Town
Guest User2024-07-09
Fengjing Ancient Town's charm lies in its canals and rich history, which our private tour captured beautifully. The English-speaking guide brought the town's stories to life, while the boat ride provided a mesmerizing view of the waterways. A day that lingered in our memories long after it ended.
