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!★

Guest User2026-01-20
We really enjoyed the tour. Andrey, our Russian-speaking guide of Chinese descent, adapted the route to suit our needs, for which we are especially grateful. There was no sense of rushing around; if you want to go to the store to pick out gifts for your family, go ahead and take your time; if you need to go to the restroom or eat early, please do so. I appreciated being able to chat with him about a wide range of topics, ask questions, and get answers. We saw everything we were supposed to see, heard historical facts, and made it all in time. But be prepared for a lot of walking, but as they say, a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Thank you very much 🙏★

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.
