Nice Tourw - We took this tour with Big Panda Tours in October, and it was a very nice experience. Shanghai in October was beautiful—nice weather and great for exploring. The Zhujiajiao part was incredibly beautiful, but it’s quite a long trip to get there. I wish they offered the Shanghai Museum as an alternative option. Our tour guide was very nice and spoke fluent English, so we had no trouble understanding her. Overall, we spent around 10 hours in total due to traffic, but it was worth it because we wouldn’t have been able to get to Zhujiajiao on our own.

A Must-Visit: Zhujiajiao’s Charm and Flavors! - A lovely mix of culture and food! Zhujiajiao’s old bridges and canals felt like stepping back in time. Yu Garden was busy but beautiful, and the wonton-making was a fun, hands-on way to end the day.

wonderful trip - A friend booked this Shanghai tour for me, and it turned out to be one of the best days of my trip! Our guide Lisa was fantastic — so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She made the whole day flow perfectly. I loved seeing both the modern skyline and the traditional old streets, and the food was amazing too. Lisa really made the city come alive — such a charming guide!

Very Nice Tour with Local Exposure - It was a nice amazing for all of us! The wonton making activity is really one of a kind. We get to go to a local family, talk to them, hang out with them, and make wontons together. I learned so much from the process. And the wonton tasted very delicious! I got to say, it's a very fully packed day!
