Reviews: Half-Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town [Explore the Millennial Water Town with Timeless Charm and Lively Atmosphere]
Guest User2026-09-07
I was lucky enough to join a tour group full of foreigners and received a bilingual guide. Although there was only one attraction, the guide still completed the tour very diligently. The fee was not expensive, even cheaper than taking a taxi there on my own. The car was also clean and comfortable. Zhujiajiao was also very beautiful. The first part was quite commercialized, but it got much better later. It was a beautiful Jiangnan landscape that was very close to the city.

Reviews: Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - A Water Town in Ink-wash Painting Style Day Tour
Guest User2026-10-10
It's a beautiful town with a real old Chinese atmosphere. All the sights are within walking distance. It's a popular spot, and therefore crowded with tourists. We had to wait in lines to take photos. The main downside was the lack of a Russian-speaking guide, even though we bought a ticket with a Russian-speaking guide. It's unclear why we paid the extra 4,000 rubles. We ended up getting a transfer to the town and back to the hotel, like a comfortable taxi. We could have taken the metro.

Reviews: Shanghai Disneyland 1-day ticket + express entry + premier access to 15 attractions (fireworks VIP) with foreign language concierge
Guest User2026-08-12
I couldn't speak Chinese and didn't want to stand in long lines in the heat, so I looked into VIP tours. Since it was difficult to book on the official website, I booked a package on Trip.com that allowed access to more attractions than a standard pass. However, after seeing a review of the same product by a famous YouTuber, my worries grew, and I even considered canceling. But with my departure date fast approaching, I went ahead with the itinerary, half-giving up on the idea. The day before the tour, the guide contacted me first to coordinate our meeting time, and on the day of the tour, they even gave me a small gift, so we got off to a great start. Upon entry, they immediately checked with staff whenever we had questions and continuously adjusted our itinerary to minimize our route to the rides we wanted to see. They even recommended photo zones first. I was particularly impressed by how they kept checking the Disney page for times and routes even while we were resting, and how they seemed even more disappointed than us as the parade time approached, hurrying to find the right path for us. It ended up being canceled due to rain, though, haha. They also shared many small tips, such as how to avoid cutting in line while waiting. I was worried because it wasn't cheap, but I was satisfied. I got plenty of rest, rode everything I wanted to ride, and saw everything there was to see, so in my opinion, I really got my money's worth! However, if you expect insider knowledge on the level of a Disney employee or the ability to board immediately via a separate route like an official VIP, your satisfaction might be lower. I would recommend it to those who, like me, cannot speak Chinese and want to enjoy themselves comfortably without worrying about checking routes or schedules.

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!
