Reviews: China Shanghai private charter airport transfers / Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) / airport pick-up and drop-off private charter service
Guest User2026-11-10
I booked an airport transfer the day before my arrival. The company didn't contact me. A driver met me at the airport exit with a name sign and drove me to my destination (I indicated it in Chinese from my reservation) without any problems. I didn't check the car fleet in detail. It was a Chinese-made electric car with a clean interior, no complaints. My advice: if you have a long flight and it's your first time in Shanghai, don't torment yourself; book a car and head to your hotel without any hassle.

Reviews: Tickets for Shanghai's must-see ERA Acrobatic Show | Circus City QR Code Admission |
Guest User2026-10-05
After paying, they messaged me on WeChat with the details. The day before the performance, they sent me a QR code, which was very convenient since I didn't have to exchange it at the box office. The waiting area at the entrance is very cold, so bring a sweater. They sell popcorn and drinks. I bought a ticket for Zone A and got a seat in row 11, first place. It was quite comfortable. I enjoyed the show; almost all the numbers were spectacular, and the transitions between them were well thought out. The show lasted almost an hour and a half. I was particularly impressed by the girls on the canvas, the aquarium act, and the very flexible gymnast. I'll definitely go again next time I'm in Shanghai.

Reviews: Shanghai Disneyland 1-day ticket + express entry + premier access to 15 attractions (fireworks VIP) +Foreign Language Butler
Guest User2026-08-12
I couldn't speak Chinese and didn't want to stand in long lines in the heat, so I looked into VIP tours. Since it was difficult to book on the official website, I booked a package on Trip.com that allowed access to more attractions than a standard pass. However, after seeing a review of the same product by a famous YouTuber, my worries grew, and I even considered canceling. But with my departure date fast approaching, I went ahead with the itinerary, half-giving up on the idea. The day before the tour, the guide contacted me first to coordinate our meeting time, and on the day of the tour, they even gave me a small gift, so we got off to a great start. Upon entry, they immediately checked with staff whenever we had questions and continuously adjusted our itinerary to minimize our route to the rides we wanted to see. They even recommended photo zones first. I was particularly impressed by how they kept checking the Disney page for times and routes even while we were resting, and how they seemed even more disappointed than us as the parade time approached, hurrying to find the right path for us. It ended up being canceled due to rain, though, haha. They also shared many small tips, such as how to avoid cutting in line while waiting. I was worried because it wasn't cheap, but I was satisfied. I got plenty of rest, rode everything I wanted to ride, and saw everything there was to see, so in my opinion, I really got my money's worth! However, if you expect insider knowledge on the level of a Disney employee or the ability to board immediately via a separate route like an official VIP, your satisfaction might be lower. I would recommend it to those who, like me, cannot speak Chinese and want to enjoy themselves comfortably without worrying about checking routes or schedules.

Reviews: Shanghai panda & wild animal park 1-day tour | including transfer service + admission ticket + feeding vehicle
Guest User2026-10-30
We decided it would be difficult to navigate a foreign country and not speak the language, so we opted for a guided tour, and we didn't regret it. A car picked us up at 8 a.m., and the drive through Shanghai Wildlife Park took about an hour. The driver dropped us off at the park's main entrance, told us we had no time limit, and would wait for us in the parking lot. The tour included roundtrip transportation to the park, entrance to the park, and a ticket for the park's specially equipped safari bus, which took us through the animal feeding areas. After the safari, we traveled to the main zoo. The visit took us about four hours. At the end of the tour, the driver took us back to the hotel. I highly recommend it.
