Shanghai Travel Reviews

We visited Shanghai with William and we definitely had a very nice experience, he is very nice and attentive, he showed us around and guided us to the main landmarks. The restaurant chosen was also very authentic and delicious

We had a great experience with our guide, William from Shangai! He is a prepared and funny person, always taking care of us

Sean was amazing from start to finish. Everything was organised perfectly and he was very knowledgeable and flexible!

Great experience in Shanghai, discovering it at our own pace. Our guide, Winni, was great, easily adapted to our needs and suggestions. She quickly undestood our taste for places to eat/drink/experiment and she provided awesome suggestions and helped with the reservations or with certain shops visits to facilitate acquisitions. Apart from the bund area, which is amazing, the water village closeby was a big highlight that we really loved. And being on a week day was great as there were no crowds at all. Another aspect we loved was her english language skills and the synchronisation with the driver, always on point and ready to pick us up when we finished one activity (like getting out of a place and in seconds the car arrives). The car was VIP, a six seater from Mercedes so really comfortable all around.

My dad and I stayed for four nights in Shanghai, and Winni was our tour guide. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is visiting Shanghai. Not only did she carry herself with a sense of style, but she made our trip stylish as well! Her recommendations for restaurants and rooftop bars were excellent, and the photos she helped us take were unique, but very creative (I would definitely show them to my friends and post them online; she was such a good photographer). I had sent a list of things that I wanted to see in Shanghai, and she managed to weave all of them into our three days in Shanghai without making the itinerary feel too full. Winni helped us see many different districts of Shanghai, and made great recommendations for clothes and souvenirs (things that I had wanted to get) that I could bring back. She was also an excellent conversationalist and kept our mood lively and engaged. She was quite knowledgeable about the history of China as a whole, and tied it into the culture of Shanghai. She also picked great restaurants. We highly recommend Winni for anyone who wants to have a high-class, stylish, informative, and relaxing experience in Shanghai. Thank you Winni!

We had a great stay in Shanghai with Brigitte, our tour guide in French. We prefered the old Chinese district and its market next to Yu garden, the Peaceful hotel tour and the day visit of Zhujiajiao. Brigitte helped us do the activities we wanted like renting a hanfu dress with make up session for our daughter, going to a special dumpling restaurant, booking a foot massage or she also recommnded market malls near our hotel which we appreciated a lot. Thanks a lot.

Simply amazing was our stay in Shanghai .. it was last leg of our 16 day journey through China . And thanks to our guide William who was so flexible and happy to work around the changes so that we can fit in shopping and sigh seeing both in our such a short stay . Visit to Tongli - the ancient Water town was the highlight of our whole journey .. it was one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to .

We visited Shanghai and got to see a lot in a single day with William. Excellent erudition, language skills and knowledge of local restaurants.

Molly was an awesome guide in Shanghai! She recognized my daughter’s love of cos play and actively photographed her, took us to a manga/anime mall and helped us buy tickets to Chinese Conic-con! We were introduced to the magic of Shanghai from the highest tower to the relaxing Long Bar on the Bund.

Our family had a great time with Qi in Shanghai. Even though, we only had one day with her before we embarked on the next part of our trip in China, she made quite the impact. She is enthusiastic, cosmopolitan, and shows a genuine interest in her guests. She saw that our hotel was right near some great street food and added a stop here so that we could experienced some delicious food. My kids loved this and she was their favorite guide of our whole trip. Wish we spent more time in Shanghai with a guide - definitely next time! :)

I had the absolute pleasure of exploring Shanghai with Winni as my guide, and I can honestly say she made the experience unforgettable. She has such a deep understanding of the city — not just its rich history and traditions, but also how it has transformed into the vibrant, modern place it is today. What really stood out to me is how well she knows the city. As a local, she took me to hidden spots that I never would’ve found on my own — places that really capture the spirit of Shanghai. And she explained the best ways to get around, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. Her knowledge of the city’s architecture, art, and cultural landmarks is amazing. She explained everything with so much clarity and passion, always taking her time and never rushing. I felt completely comfortable asking any question, no matter how big or small — and she always answered with patience and insight. Winni’s attitude made the whole experience even better. She was kind, upbeat, and always smiling, which made me feel at ease and genuinely excited to learn more. It felt more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend than being on a tour. And for anyone who loves shopping — Winni knows all the best places to find high-quality items at great prices. Thanks to her, I came home with some real treasures! I can’t recommend Winni enough. She made my visit to Shanghai something truly special, and I’m so grateful for her guidance and warmth.

The highlight of our trip to Xi'an was our guide, Lvyongping (Mark). We cannot express enough how much we appreciated all of Mark's assistance. Saying goodbye to him felt like leaving behind family. We genuinely felt cared for, and Mark went above and beyond to ensure our safety and happiness. If you have Mark as your guide, you are in the best hands! We love and are incredibly grateful to Mark! We encourage everyone to visit Xi'an; it is a must-see destination. You won't regret it!

Shanghai is a sprawling gem of a city and our guide, Winni, helped us move between stops to the Bund, Yuyuan Garden, French Concession and more without a hitch. Winni is a knowledgeable and engaging source of information about Shanghai history, food and culture, and she speaks English fluently. She’s passionate about her city. We had a blast!

The trip was honestly one of the most amazing we had in China and in the world as a whole. From getting to walk through the nightlife at Times Square, enjoying the delicious food at all the malls, and walking down the Bund at night and admiring the skyscrapers, we got to do it all. Specifically, we are very thankful for our guide Chris who gave us these spots to visit and spoke Mandarin for us, allowing us to truly enjoy our visit without all the hassle. We hope to visit again and will of-course be using this service again.

Nuestra estancia en Shanghái ha sido fantástica. En gran medida gracias a Francisco, nuestro extraordinario y muy amable guía. Para empezar es bilingue "de verdad" (chino / espa?ol), pero es que, además, sus comentarios son precisos y rigurosos. !Y qué decir de su detalle final!

Nuestra experiencia en Shanghái fue increíble, en gran parte gracias a nuestro guía, Francisco. Siempre atento y disponible, nos acompa?ó por los lugares más emblemáticos de la ciudad: el Jardín de Yuyuan, el Templo del Buda de Jade, la Concesión Francesa (especialmente el barrio Xintiandi), el famoso Bund y la impresionante Torre de Shanghái, donde subimos hasta el mirador para disfrutar de una vista panorámica inolvidable. Sus recomendaciones fueron excelentes, especialmente en lo culinario donde probamos platos típicos en restaurantes auténticos que no habríamos encontrado por nuestra cuenta.

Kenny was an absolutely amazing guide. She told us about the history of Shanghai and a lot of the wonderful sights. She also was able to quickly make changes to tour arrangements on the fly due to weather.

We just spent three wonderful days in this very special city.First day we were guided by Sean from China Highlights who showed us some of the most important touristic points, the TV tower, the bund, the garden.Friendly and with very good humor, he not added a lot of information but also entertained us. The following two days we were by ourselves, but Sean provided valuable insights. We walked through the French concession, exploited shikumen architecture, visited the narrow streets of Tian Anzi and later on the third days, the Shanghai museum and people’s square and took profit of the inumerous stores for some shopping .Great trip, great value.Thanks, Sean

Qi, our private guide in Shanghai, was very good. She was very flexible to our needs, and changed a few things for us. Qi was charming and helpful and good to chat with.Also I’d like to acknowledge and recommend Vanessa from China Travel who worked with my wife to create a perfect 15 day China tour plan for us. Vanessa was very responsive and understood what we wanted. We had a private tour, and I know this can be expensive, but if you can afford it the private tour is well worth the money.

Muchas gracias Antonio por tu ayuda en Shanghai!! Gracias por ayudarnos y estar en cada detalle! Sin dudas su ayuda y compa?ía nos ayudó muchísimo! Muy agradecidos!!

Muchas gracias Antonio por acompa?arnos en este viaje maravilloso por Shanghai, gracias por guiarnos, por tu paciencia y sobre todo tu ayuda!!! Gracias gracias gracias Antonio! Sin dudas una persona y guía excelente!!

My friends and I spent two wonderful days in Shanghai and around. The tour was organized by Stella. Our guide, Winnie, made both tours unforgettable. She was knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and had a great sense of humor. Even the lunches were delicious—authentic but not too spicy. Thank you to the tour company for such perfect holidays

We had a fantastic one-day guided tour of Shanghai with our guide, Qi, from China Highlights! Qi's so knowledgeable, open, and warm, and we loved exploring those crazy busy Shanghai streets with her. Mirjana & Vladimir.

Winni was a fabulous guide to Shanghai. Very knowledgeable, particularly flexible and, what's more, really friendly and smiling. I'd like to thank her very much and am delighted to recommend her services.
