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!

The tour was in English. There were three of us and two others in the group. Everything was well-organized, comfortable, and interesting. We highly recommend it.

The show was fantastic! Complex, engaging numbers, a compelling storyline, and a constant dynamic. The QR code and seat assignments were sent to WeChat two hours before the show, as stated in the description. We asked for WeChat or WhatsApp contact information in advance, and the seats were very conveniently located. Many thanks to the vendor!

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.
Reviews: Shanghai Tour with "Eternal Shanghai" Show & Sightseeing Bus
Guest User2025-08-20
Performance 10 points exciting, if the bus can arrive earlier at the attraction a little more time for us to play would be better, when the five D performance program has started, missed this one we have to 4:50 (last show), just the most exciting performance of the day is 5:00 start, so only give up watching 5 D. Choose to go to other attractions until five o'clock, come back to see the Shanghai Eternal Love from 5 o'clock, children and the elderly also 10 points like, so remember not to miss this re-investment performance at five o'clock. Next time you can buy tickets directly and arrive at the venue earlier so you can watch the full performance program.

We loved our day trip! Laura was an amazing guide, and explained so well about all the things we saw, she also happily explained to us about China and Chinese culture. The itinerary was really well planned, and never felt rushed. We saw a lot of things! The water town was so beautiful, and it was super interesting to see the bunker and hear about the cultural revolution. The food was really good also! We also got a beautiful fan with a picture of the town. The car trip was also smooth and she answered all our questions happily:) We really recommend this tour!
