Reviews: Shanghai Van Gogh Starry Night Museum + ERA2 Circus World - Time Travel Acrobatic Show [2 PM Show]
Guest User2025-12-15
The show was rescheduled, and the trip.com staff worked incredibly well. Thank you for your support and the rescheduling. The ERA2 circus show was very colorful, but it's a shame the hour flew by, a bit short. Afterward, we went looking for the Van Gogh Museum. We had a hard time finding it and trying to get in—the employee didn't want to let us in, and we didn't have internet to show him our trip.com confirmation, as he requested. After 20 minutes of negotiating, he gave us the Wi-Fi password and saw the confirmation. The museum was interesting, and you can take lots of great photos in its locations.★

Reviews: Shanghai Classic 1-Day Tour: Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River Cruise with Optional Buffet Diner
Guest User2026-01-16
Before your trip, you'll receive detailed, real-time information via chat. However, please note that this is not a guided tour; it's a ticketing service. While the Oriental Pearl Tower and the cruise ship terminal are nearby, the Shanghai Urban Development Museum is about 3 kilometers away across the Huangpu River, so I wasn't able to visit.★

Reviews: Yu Garden + City God Temple Tourist Area + Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River Cruise with optional Chinese tea and dim sum
Guest User2025-09-13
It was a nice tour that covered a lot without rushing to much. My highlights we're definitely the views from the Pearl Tower (which also has a really nice Shanghai history museum) and the boat. Instead of "classic" tea we had Bubble Tea we opted for Bubble Tea which was a nice surprise.
