Reviews: Shanghai must-visit route: Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River night cruise, Chinese group 1-day tour (including cruise)
Guest User2025-11-18
It was a trip with friends, and the guide's explanation was good, but it was a shame that there were no lights around during the cruise. The lights came on for about the last ten minutes, so I was disappointed that I didn't have time to take pictures.★

Guest User2024-07-17
The tour beautifully balanced history and modernity. Zhujiajiao Water Town and the French Concession showcased Shanghai's rich past, while the Bund and the Peace Hotel exemplified the city's vibrant present. The seamless blend of these elements made for a fascinating and informative journey.★

Reviews: Shanghai Private French Concession Tour: Alley to Mansion (Xintiandi, Tianzifang, WuKang)
Guest User2025-05-13
A truly wonderful travel experience! It was my first time in Shanghai, and the French Concession was my top choice. My guide Laura, was warm, friendly, and shared many fascinating stories about China. The whole tour had a very smooth pace — we walked, had a coffee break, and even tried some hands-on activities. For example, we made a lacquer fan in a local studio, which was such a fun and unique experience! I highly recommend this tour!
