Reviews: Shanghai Disney Resort special tickets + guide service/Early Park Entry Pass/VIP/8 or 14 FastPass
Guest User2025-08-17
Yesterday morning, I was late with my child, but the tour guide didn't complain at all. She kept in touch with me, sent me directions to the park, and provided video instructions for the attractions. Since I fell behind, the tour guide helped me with a few attractions individually, and I finally caught up with the group. ✌ The one-on-one, customized service was truly valuable. 🫣
Due to the high summer temperatures, we sweat a lot, and water evaporates quickly. The tour guide took the trouble to provide water for everyone. After doing a few attractions on an empty stomach, I had a low blood sugar attack. The tour guide bought me food and water. After eating, I felt much better and finally recovered. That moment was heartwarming. ❤
Every time I moved from one attraction to another, following behind the tour guide and watching her hurried back, I felt so reassured. I truly felt the hard work they put in. They not only provide excellent service but also have a strong sense of responsibility. They are attentive to the needs of tourists and think about their every need. They go above and beyond to help them experience more and better attractions. After free time in the afternoon, I wanted to explore the park further, but I wasn't familiar with the route. When I needed help, I messaged the tour guide, who patiently guided me and sent me the location. That evening, I was treated to the park's highlight—the castle's fireworks and light show. It was a feast for the eyes, and the fatigue of the day melted away in this visual extravaganza.

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!★

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: The 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.★
