Reviews: Shanghai Private Food and Culture Tour (Breakfast or Dinner; 10 Dishes at 5 Eateries)
Guest User2025-10-29
Excellent tour of central Shanghai with Michael. It is more than a food tour as he gives a detailed history of China, Shanghai and the buildings we walk past. Food was all excellent. A good introduction to the city for our first day.★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River night cruise ticket, including buffet dinner, with optional Dragon Boat or Crystal Princess departing from Shiliupu Pier 3
Guest User2025-08-26
Delicious food and the best view of the city you could wish for. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the entire panorama. The boat wasn't crowded, and you could reserve a seat on deck for the tour for a small surcharge. But the view is also fantastic otherwise.★

Reviews: Fengjing Watertown Private Tour: Lunch and Boat Included (More Authentic than Zhujiajiao)
Guest User2025-06-13
We loved our day trip! Laura was an amazing guide, and explained so well about all the things we saw, she also happily explained to us about China and Chinese culture. The itinerary was really well planned, and never felt rushed. We saw a lot of things! The water town was so beautiful, and it was super interesting to see the bunker and hear about the cultural revolution. The food was really good also! We also got a beautiful fan with a picture of the town. The car trip was also smooth and she answered all our questions happily:) We really recommend this tour!★
