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.

Good experience by the tour service to coordinate for our travel group. The shows and set up were great, and enjoy the old Shanghai vibes within the park.

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: Hangzhou Lingyin Temple + West Lake Cruise + Leifeng Pagoda Day Trip, including Buffet Afternoon Tea and Song Dynasty Tea Ceremony.
Guest User2026-11-05
The day's experience matched the description, and our tour guide, Chen Xiaoqin, was very responsible. She called a car for us in the morning due to traffic and waited for us at the drop-off point. We had headphones, and Chen Xiaoqin provided explanations throughout the journey, showing great responsibility. She planned the day's itinerary well, even informing us of restroom locations in advance, and led us around without us having to worry about anything. She patiently helped us take photos. The vegetarian lunch was rushed, but there was a wide variety of dishes, and we were quite full. The afternoon tea was very interesting; we could even take the fans home, and we also had Longjing tea and snacks. At the end of the day, Chen Xiaoqin explained how to take the bus to each family and led us to the bus stop. The Hangzhou Restaurant recommended by the tour guide was excellent and packed. Initially, I hesitated about the price on Ctrip, thinking I could either explore on my own or find a cheaper tour. In the end, I chose Ctrip on a whim, and it didn't disappoint. Many people online said it wasn't necessary to climb Leifeng Pagoda, but after visiting and hearing the tour guide's explanation, I knew it was a must. The children listened attentively to Chen Xiaoqin's explanation of the Wu-Yue Kingdom and the history of Leifeng Pagoda. Moreover, the panoramic view of West Lake from the top of the tower is breathtaking. The tour guide provides commentary while you enjoy the scenery. In short, aside from the slightly higher price, this tour is flawless. I highly recommend it for those considering a trip; it's excellent value for a day. No need to plan ahead or worry about transportation, as cars can't easily access the West Lake area. Especially beneficial for families with children; a patient and attentive guide like Chen Xiaoqin is highly recommended. Thank you to our guide, Chen Xiaoqin.

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.
