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!★

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 must-visit route: Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River night cruise, Chinese group 1-day tour (including cruise)
Guest User2025-11-18
It was a trip with friends, and the guide's explanation was good, but it was a shame that there were no lights around during the cruise. The lights came on for about the last ten minutes, so I was disappointed that I didn't have time to take pictures.★

Reviews: Half-day at Shanghai Natural History Museum and Huangpu River night cruise with headsets and professional tour guide service
Guest User2024-12-01
The guide was responsible and approachable, adjusting the depth and method of explanation based on the children's age and interests. The children were very engaged and the interaction was very interactive. It was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!★

Reviews: Tickets for the must-see ERA Time Travel Acrobatic Show in Shanghai
Guest User2025-12-29
If you come to Shanghai, you should definitely go see it! The amazing techniques can be quite nerve-wracking at times, but the satisfaction is high! The nearby department store also has everything you need, making it convenient. If you stay in the Xintiandi area, you can get to the venue at a low price (I took a direct bus for about 40 yen).
