Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + Shanghai City God Temple half-day tour: Traditional culture experience with optional Chinese tea tasting
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!★

Reviews: Shanghai must-visit route: Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River night cruise, Chinese group 1-day tour (including cruise)
Guest User2025-11-18
It was a trip with friends, and the guide's explanation was good, but it was a shame that there were no lights around during the cruise. The lights came on for about the last ten minutes, so I was disappointed that I didn't have time to take pictures.★

Rebecca was absolutely perfect. We had an excellent day. She gave us lots of explanations and anecdotes and answered all our questions. She accompanied us all over the city and allowed us to really discover Shanghai. I recommend her services 200%!★

Reviews: Yu Garden + City God Temple Tourist Area + Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River Cruise with optional Chinese tea and dim sum
Guest User2025-09-13
It was a nice tour that covered a lot without rushing to much. My highlights we're definitely the views from the Pearl Tower (which also has a really nice Shanghai history museum) and the boat. Instead of "classic" tea we had Bubble Tea we opted for Bubble Tea which was a nice surprise.
