Reviews: Minimum booking of 1 person | Shanghai One-Day Tour: Oriental Pearl Tower Spheres Sightseeing + Huangpu River Cruise
Guest User2026-08-22
The views from the tower are amazing, as are those from the boat. The guide was very attentive. We were the only foreigners in the group—the rest were Chinese—but that didn't stop him from explaining everything clearly. Thank you!

Reviews: Hangzhou Lingyin Temple + West Lake Cruise + Leifeng Pagoda Day Trip, including Buffet Afternoon Tea and Song Dynasty Tea Ceremony.
Guest User2026-09-30
Our tour guide, Ms. Chen, was incredibly dedicated and responsible. She patiently helped us take photos, provided everyone with a headset, and offered professional and comprehensive explanations! She even remembered our names, making the trip feel even more welcoming. The itinerary was well-planned and fulfilling, with no hidden fees, no shopping stops, no half-hearted activities, and virtually no queues. We managed to visit West Lake and Lingyin Temple/Feilai Peak Scenic Area in one day, and with her professional guide, it was definitely worth the trip. Ms. Chen added us on WeChat a day in advance to book transportation, and promptly took us to the meeting point at 8:00 AM the next morning. Lunch, although a vegetarian buffet, included over eighty dishes, and it was all delicious. Each person was given a bottle of water on the shuttle bus. The Song Dynasty tea ceremony and fan-based activities were very interesting. We could take the fans home, and we also sampled West Lake Longjing tea and snacks, which were quite delicious and provided a good rest. Finally, the tour didn't end abruptly. Ms. Chen gave each of us a map to our destination and even led us to the bus station, watching us board before leaving. This was my first time joining a group tour on Ctrip, and it turned out to be surprisingly good!

Reviews: Shanghai departure Suzhou 1-day tour Humble Administrator's Garden + Hanshan Temple + Zhouzhuang (optional private/group tour)
Guest User2026-05-10
Since I was on a tour with Chinese people, communication was difficult. The guide spoke so fast that I could barely understand anything. We had to eat at designated restaurants, and the prices were on the expensive side. Since you have to take the train directly from Shanghai, I recommend going independently rather than on a tour. Perhaps because I had high expectations for Suzhou, it wasn't much different from Suzhou, and I think Suzhou was better.

Reviews: Wuzhen Xizha Night Tour + Nanxun Ancient Town (20 people or less) - All-inclusive tour with options for water town boat or first-class bus.
Guest User2026-10-06
This day trip to Nanxun and Wuzhen was absolutely fantastic! The itinerary was perfectly planned, allowing us to experience the charm of the ancient towns during the day while also enjoying the stunning night view of Xizha. The timing was just right. The tour guide was also very reliable, providing detailed explanations without rushing us. We followed along the whole way without having to worry about the route or tickets. For those who want a hassle-free experience and simply want to immerse themselves in the beauty of a Jiangnan water town, this small group of 20 people is ideal. Highly recommended for those who hate planning! 😋👍✨
