Shanghai Tour Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 122 customer reviews
One of my best travel experiences ever.
5 - Excellent
  • Herve
“Everything was arranged perfectly. I took my wife and my teenager son and arranged for a tour in several cities. The tour guides and drivers were amazing. The drivers were very skillful and the tour guides were quite erudite with good mastering of the English language which was better than expected. This trip changed our thoughts on China. Our other thought was why did we wait so long to visit China Both my family and I would highly recommend this local travel specialist.”
Great China Trip!

“We had a good time on our trip to China with you. We really enjoyed working with your excellent guides and drivers. They offered us a pleasant trip. They took good care of all of our needs. Traccy is our tour planner. She is really excellent in scheduling the time we wished to spend on our own. We highly recommend Tracy and the local travel specialist to anyone who plan to visit China.”
Great!

Shanghai - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Shanghai Travel Highlights

  • Stroll along the Bund, Shanghai’s financial center, and take in the art-deco and neoclassical buildings. Shop in the exclusive boutiques, have a coffee and snap a shot of the Pudong skyline.
  • Explore the ‘Old Town’ for a sense of traditional China.
  • The neighbourhoods of the French Concession offer the best of laid-back entertainment from retail therapy to fine food.
  • See a Buddha carved from pure jade at the aptly named Jade Buddha Temple.
  • For those wanting to seek out Shanghai’s edgier side, head to M50 design space.
  • The Yuyuan Gardens are an unmissable experience of fine Chinese landscaping. Avoid the weekend for a peaceful visit.
  • Shanghai Tower is China’s tallest building - no easy feat.
  • Shanghai Museum perfectly displays Chinese history for all.

Shanghai Travel Tips

  • Avoid the heat and crowds of summer and visit Shanghai in early spring (March to May) or fall (September to November).
  • Tipping is becoming more common in Shanghai. Though 5% tip is sufficient in restaurants.
  • Street food is second-to-none in Shanghai. Make the most of it if you need to watch your budget.
  • If eating alone, ask for ‘Xiao Pan’. You’ll be given smaller, cheaper portions suitable for one.
  • The Shanghai Metro is huge but also quick and easy to use and machines have an English option.
  • Get a transport card and recharge it to use on buses, ferries, metros and even taxis.
  • Drink bottled water.
  • If you have respiratory problems, consider bringing a mask to fight the fog.
