Disclaimer: It is just a ticket being purchased here, not a guided tour. I bought this here in Klook for my Huangpu River Cruise because of the great reviews. The staff was really responsive and informative. They contacted prior to my schedule and provided all the information. They were very responsive too when I asked something. They were patient in waiting for me when I arrived late than the schedule meet up. Mr. Li waited to give the ticket. Then it’s just me who went on the boat for the cruise. It is not a guided tour but they’ll help you secure the ticket and send off to an amazing evening cruise. You can avail of the view deck at the boat for CNY100. And yes! This cruise is a must do in Shanghai. The very beautiful and magical city you’ll see and witness at night.☺️

this was a nice cruise with buffet. Shiliupu Wharf no. 3 or Quay no. 3 is a 30-45 minute walk from Nanjing Pedestrian Street or The Bund. so if to be on time for 5pm entrance start early walking. there are a lot to see on the way and can get distracted. The hairy crab was served towards the end of the buffet individually, it was a meaty treat.

The tour guide was great! The itinerary was smooth, and the meals were excellent! However, regarding the river cruise, I believe the amount we paid should have included reserved seating in a scenic area, rather than standing and walking for an hour!

This is my first time traveling to China, and I chose Shanghai as my first stop. A friend told me that Klook offers free customized itineraries, so I decided to give it a try. I didn't expect Charley, the customer service representative, to be so helpful. They were very patient in telling me the best way to explore the city. Shanghai is bigger than I imagined, and without the custom itinerary planner's recommendations, I might have ended up with a "special forces" style itinerary.

This is a very nice trip. The guide is trying her best to explain everything about 乌镇 and 杭州. This is different from free and easy trip as I get to understand and appreciate the history of places I have visited, thereby value adding my good experience in the 2 places I visited. The hotel I opted for is more expensive and high class one. for this hotel, the breakfast is nice, and the rooms are very clean.

I found this package tour online, and it covered many of the attractions we wanted to visit, so I booked it. Since this was my first time booking a package tour like this, I was initially a bit worried about the three-day itinerary and the tour guide, as there were many unknowns. However, after participating, the overall experience was quite satisfying. The tour guide proactively contacted us before departure to confirm the meeting time and location. During the trip, they would send messages to remind us of the meeting times and also include the location, making it easier for everyone to find the meeting point. Over these three days, what impressed me the most was the tour guide's explanations at each attraction. They were clear, organized, and helped us gain a deeper understanding of the historical background of the sites. For example, at the Lingering Garden, the guide introduced the three treasures of the garden, as well as the architectural and landscaping features. In the Eastern栅 (East Section) of Wuzhen, they also provided in-depth explanations, allowing us to better understand the local customs and lifestyle. The West Lake tour was paired with the tour guide's explanation and a boat ride, making the content vivid and memorable. However, it seems we didn't get to visit Hefang Street in the end, which was a bit of a shame. The tour guide's explanations were excellent, but I hope they can provide more information for some of the attractions with free time. Overall, the tour guide's style was humorous and engaging, and the pace of the itinerary was just right. It was a pretty good experience, recommended 👍🏻.
