A perfect blend of old and new! This private tour offered a unique perspective on Shanghai, from the historic grandeur of the Bund to the traditional elegance of Yuyuan Garden, the spiritual peace of Jade Buddha Temple, and the futuristic heights of Shanghai Tower. Our English-speaking guide was knowledgeable and engaging, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience.★

Reviews: 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.★

Reviews: Private Day Tour to Suzhou and ZhouZhuang Water Village from Shanghai
Guest User2025-04-22
I chose to go to the 'Humble Administrator' Garden, and the result was arranged to go to the 'Netmaster Garden', which is not on the menu. The 'Netmaster Garden' is really good. It is worth visiting, but this change is a bit strange. The silk museum is really not recommended, purely selling products. The time to visit the Panmen is too short, maybe because of the traffic jam on weekends. The restaurant arranged for lunch is a bit ordinary, but it tastes good. Zhouzhuang scenery is not very good, not a problem with the itinerary, but a problem with that place. The best thing is Mr. Wu, the tour guide, who is rich in knowledge and has questions and answers.About
