Excellent tour, excellent guide, and excellent timing. It was a very informative and interactive tour. I learned a lot thanks to the knowledgeable guide that pointed at significant objects that I would not have noticed myself. I highly recommend this tour and its guide.★

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.★

Reviews: Songhu Campaign Memorial Hall + Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial professional tour guide service available in Chinese/English
Guest User2025-07-14
The tour guides were dedicated and serious in their work, the time was arranged reasonably, and the explanations were relatively comprehensive. The visit to the Sihang Warehouse and the Memorial Hall was very educational. We should remember history and never forget the national humiliation. Heroes will live forever, and we should strive to become stronger!★

Reviews: 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.
