Reviews/Trip Moments

Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + Shanghai City God Temple half-day tour: Traditional culture experience with optional Chinese tea tasting
Guest User2025-09-14
Our tour guide, Xiaoxiu, was fantastic. She's young and talented, highly recommended! Our flight was delayed by an hour, and we were worried we wouldn't arrive at our destination on time. After contacting us in advance, she not only expressed her understanding but also thoughtfully reassured us and urged us to be safe. So thoughtful and touching! The entire explanation was engaging and engaging, with interactive questions and discussions. Our family is quite unorganized, and there might be people who don't stay with the group. Haha, this beautiful tour guide would go find them, never abandoning them, hahahaha. While researching the Yu Gardens stamp collection, we learned that the tour guide even went to the trouble of taking us back to the Cultural and Creative Center to redeem our stamps. She's an angel for stamp collectors! Thank you so much to our tour guide for accompanying us. Our whole family was so happy!
Reviews: Shanghai Era Theatre Acrobatic Show (Car is Optional)
Guest User2025-10-26
I booked the show + the car. I’d like to begin this review by giving the tour/car service a 10 (since a 5 is the highest/best level, a 10 means 2x5). Thank you Sophie and Andy for a wonderful car/tour service. Sophie, you provided the best car service and are the best guide. Thank you very much. The show is just wonderful. The timing, performances, the light show, the music… are just wonderful. The performers are deeply impressive. Their act is extremely difficult but they do it so easily like they were just strolling in a park. I’d like to give the show 9.5 (since a 5 is the highest level, 9.5 means 2x5-0,5) and that because the show is a little short. Extend it at least with 15 minutes, preferably with 30 minutes. It is 1 hour long now. I am sure it could ”easily” be extended to 1 hour and 15 minutes. My wish is a one hour and 30 minute show with the same performers as in tonight’s show. Thank you very much for a wonderful show. You are the best.
