Shanghai Day trips

Very convenient. Just head to the main ticketing counter. there are two, and they’ll provide you with a QR-coded ticket that serves as your pass every time you hop on the bus. Only one physical ticket is issued per group (we were two people but received just one ticket), so you’ll need to stay together at all times. This is one of the easiest ways to explore Shanghai. We managed to visit all the major tourist spots in just one day because of this, making it a must try activity. They also provide in ear earphones that connect to an audio tour guide, along with a map for easy navigation. Buses run very frequently, so you won’t have to wait long before hopping on again.

The experience in this tour was excellent. Jenny the tour guide made an effort to arrange for the meet up via WhatsApp or Wechat two days before the trip. We departed for the Shanghai film studio on time and she shared many stories during the visit. It was interesting to see the set of various Shanghai scenes from the last century. Lunch was an additional 50Rmb but was definitely worth it as arranged by the guide. We had a feast at the local restaurant. The visit to the Zhujiajiao was the icing on the cake. This was a misty scenic and picturesque ancient town. The ride on the boat along the river canal was magical. Overall the trip was well organised by Jenny and we had free time at the end to explore on our own before ending the trip. Highly recommended.

The guide Shu Xiong was knowledgeable and explained the attractions well. I also initially booked East Gate and Nanxun, but switched to East Gate and West Gate (with boat ride) after the guide introduced West Gate as the definitive Jiangnan water town experience. We stayed till 7.30pm at the West Gate, which allowed us to take photos of the night lights.

It was a full bus load of tourists and everywhere we went, it was crowded. but the guide, Chen Lei, did very well to make sure that nobody went missing as we walk the streets, cross the roads and weave through the multitudes of people. There was an additional fee of CNY110 per person. 40 for lunch at a buffet restaurant that is basically like hunger games - hundreds of people crowding to get food. 10 for the earpiece to listen to the guide - this is useful. 60 for the boat ride and a short Suzhou music performance.

It was a great experience and many beautiful places were shown. As I am not able to speak chinese I could not fully understand the historical explanations, but the guide (and the translator) helped me a lot to experience it!

We got the half day tour. Will arrived ahead of schedule, picked us up at the hotel. Car was spacious, and clean. It was a great tour as Will was well knowledgeable, he even brought us to affordable stores and good restaurants. He also helped us deal with vendors. Quite a fun trip so far! Well recommended :)

Our guide Maggie was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly kind, caring, and patient with us throughout the whole trip. She always adjusted the schedule to our needs, helped us with everything, waited for us whenever we needed extra time, translated for us, and even bargained for us when we were shopping. She answered all of our silly questions with so much patience and was always there whenever we needed help. She truly took care of us like a real mom! 🥹❤️ We felt so comfortable and well taken care of with her. We’re very grateful for everything she did for us!

A good choice for a quick day trip tour if you are staying at Shanghai and would like to explore nearby city - Hangzhou. The tour guides 余导 and 舒导 are friendly , approachable, knowledgeable in explaining the itineraries and history sites. The lunch menu is well arranged too

perfect day trip outside the city, 1.5 hours to get out of the city and enter the past. We made the most beautiful photos! had the kids dress up and had a wonderful day. Mr. Nathan was a wonder guide very well informed and made us a lovely itinerary. thank you
