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: 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!★

Reviews: Shanghai Wild Animal Park Giant Panda Viewing and Carnivore Feeding Experience 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-15
This was an incredible day spent at the Shanghai Wild Animal park. The tour includes walk around dozens of exhibits of live birds and animals, as well as a boat ride to visit many of large animal enclosures. The highlight for most visitors is the close up viewing of Panda bears without plastic/glass windows, so you can take amazing pictures. In addition, you will enjoy a safari bus ride through the more dangerous animal enclosures, including Lions, Tigers and Bears, of course, plus wolves, rhinos, hippos, etc. and they provide food to feed animals through small ports in the bus using the included foot long skewer. There are two performance venues, including a stadium for viewing birds, dogs, monkeys, horses and even a cheetah running full speed past the audience. They are extremely fast! The final big performance is inside of a large Circus stadium, and includes lights and music performances of dozens of dancers, acrobats and horseback riders doing amazing choreography with skillful★

Reviews: Immersive experience: Song Dynasty tea ceremony and fan painting, including Lingyin Temple, West Lake cruise, and Leifeng Tower summit
Guest User2025-09-15
Our tour guide, Xiao Zheng, was very responsible. The small group was comfortable and flexible, and we were very satisfied with the itinerary. We saw all the sights we wanted to see, and the weather was perfect for photos. Xiao Zheng's explanations were professional and engaging. He even taught us how to offer incense, how to use incense sticks, and how to paint Bodhi seeds. Painting fans was also very interesting; my mother, who is over 60, followed along and painted beautifully.
