Review for: Depart in the morning

DO NOT BOOK! Entry to the water town is FREE. A Didi (local taxi like Uber) will cost you about £30 return from central Shanghai. They call this a 'tour' and on the itinerary state a 'guided tour' however, there is no tour. This is purely for a return transfer to the water town which you can book yourself via Didi for over half the price!! I have complained and have been told that they do state that a tour guide is not included - this is true however, the fact they call the activity a 'tour' and state that a 'guided tour' is included on the itinerary means they are falsely advertising to sell their activity. The name of this should be 'Return transfer to the water town'. It is not worth the money for a return transfer. You are also on a time limit whereas, if you called a Didi yourself you could leave the water town whenever suits you. Visit the water town but DO NOT use this company or book this activity as you can save so much money by getting a Didi yourself.
