Reviews: Shanghai Metro Line 14: Jingan Temple + Xintiandi + Yu Garden + Shanghai Tower + Huangpu River Cruise
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 🙏★

The guide was responsible and approachable, adjusting the depth and method of explanation based on the children's age and interests. The children were very engaged and the interaction was very interactive. It was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!★

The tour beautifully balanced history and modernity. Zhujiajiao Water Town and the French Concession showcased Shanghai's rich past, while the Bund and the Peace Hotel exemplified the city's vibrant present. The seamless blend of these elements made for a fascinating and informative journey.★

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.
