Reviews: "Grab Your E-Tickets! Shanghai ERA Show – A Circus Like No Other."

A circus with acrobats. Beautiful. Not drawn out like the three-hour shows that often go on. The show lasts an hour. Brief, the time flew by.★

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: 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: The Real Shanghai: Classic Icons Meet Hidden Gems (Bund/Yu Garden/TianZiFang/French Quar.)
Guest User2025-08-08
I just want to say, wow! I spent a lot of time comparing the tours in Shanghai online. After a really long research this tour really stands out from the rest. As an experienced traveler, I always look for a true local experience. My guide Laura was super knowledgeable and showed me a lot of the places where I saw very few other tourists. The tour balanced it very well with must-see attractions like the Yu Garden. Although there were a lot of people in the garden, Laura still managed to let me learn something new. And my favorite part is the local market for lunch. Laura took me to a local market and I was in queue with locals for some really delicious local food. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cultural tour.
