Amazing Day - The tour guide was very friendly, polite, and informative. She took us to some great locations to learn about Shanghai, to purchase authentic teas, and to shop for souvenirs. She was great at taking pictures. We culminated the excursion with an authentic meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wishes to visit Shanghai.

Great tour with lovely opportunities for pictures - We had a great time on our tour in Zhujiajiao. We were picked up in a comfortable car right at our residence. We were very happy about this pick-up, especially because we weren't staying very centrally. Our guide was very friendly, accommodating, and competent. We learned a lot on the tour and took many pretty pictures.

We had a great private... - We had a great private tour with Sophie. We were transported in a luxurious comfortable car. At the water town we got a very detailed history of the area, garden and temple. We enjoyed walking through the small alleys with shops, eating the local cuisine and ending with the relaxing boat ride. Sophie gave us excellent tips for our stay in Shanghai. Highly recommend!

Excellent trip. Strongly recommended. Beautiful place to visit - Beautiful trip. Very nice place to visit including the garden and then the gondola ride. We strongly recommend it. Snow made the trip very special. She showed us many things. Explained in very interesting way. She was also our personal photographer:) We were picked from the hotel by the luxury car. And very nice driver named Ms Chen gave us great ride. Snow also took us to local Chinese restaurant where we had good food. We really enjoyed the entire trip.

Amazing experience in the lovely water town of Zhujiajiao - Our family had an amazing time visiting the Zhujiajiao water town. Our local tour guide from Shanghai, Kalvin, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and hospitable. The vehicle that drove us to the town was very comfortable. The boat ride was an incredible experience and lunch at the local restaurant was delicious. There was also plenty of time to explore the town and ask questions. Alana did a great job communicating and coordinating tour details, and made sure that we had a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend touring with Amazing Shanghai Trip in the future!

很好的體驗 good - 這次參加了上海的朱家角水鄉一日遊,非常推薦!導遊Mary非常專業且友善,詳細講解了古鎮的歷史和文化。 整個行程安排得很好,車輛舒適,餐點也很美味。特別喜歡那種慢慢走在老街、看傳統建築和橋樑的感覺,讓人真正放鬆下來。 如果想體驗上海近郊古鎮風情,非常值得參加這個行程。強烈推薦給來上海旅遊的朋友! I joined the Zhujiajiao Water Town Day Tour from Shanghai and highly recommend it! The guide was professional and friendly, giving detailed explanations about the town’s history and culture. The whole itinerary was well-organized, with a comfortable car and delicious food. I especially loved strolling through the old streets, admiring traditional buildings and bridges—it was truly relaxing. If you want to experience the charm of an ancient water town near Shanghai, this tour is definitely worth it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai!
