Top Eastern China Half-day Tours

"Jim was an incredible host. He regularly reviews the restaurants on tour to make sure that the experience evolves. I will recommend this food tour to anyone visiting in future."

"As a foreigner during the Corona crisis, this tour was the only one which did not cancel and Alana spend significant efforts to get the River Cruise tickets organized upfront. We had a great time with a wonderful spot on the boat, a lot of background information and some nice dinner at the restaurant. 100% recommended!"

"This was a very good choice. My guide, Penny, was very friendly and knowledgable, and able to adapt the half day to me interests. Highly recommended."

"This was a great tour done by Mark, he will go the extra mile to make sure you have a memorable experience. Alot of these tour guides depend on tips as a bulk of the costs goes to their boss, so make sure to tip them if you enjoyed the tour. Even a small tip means a great deal to these hard workers"

"Fei Fei was a great guide who showed us a few different areas of Shanghai not usually visited by tourists. She was passionate and had a lot of enthusiasm. The tour was great and more so because of a great guide."

"Another great trip with a really great guide. Snow is perfect and pays detailed attention to our expectations and special wishes. We saw and experienced everything we were looking for and more. Very special trip! Thank you!"

"I had fantastic tour organised by Jenny. My guide Grace was very knowledgeable, sharing plenty interesting stories and facts. I highly recommend it to anyone and who want to have better understanding of the culture, customs and way of life in Shanghai and surroundings...and try some delicious snacks on the way :)"

"Our guide Berlin was very knowledgeable and easy to understand and very easy to talk to. Overall it was a great experience."

"very exciting and good food at the dragon boat with a very entertaining tour guide. so amazing views.. we thank you so much for the visit in your place unforgettable."

"Alana was amazing, arrived on time and was very detailed when explaining how the tour would work. The transport was very spacious and clean with water provided. The tour of the village was great and she even showed us some secret viewing spots, along with helping us decipher the lunch menu for our tastes. We would definitely recommend the tour to anyone with 5 hours or so to spare as it gets you away from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai to a peaceful town where even the locals go to relax. Thanks Alana."

"Great day, all went well, We got to see so much in our very short stay in Shanghai. Everyone was very helpful and the tour guide spoke perfect English. It was extremely well organized and everything went like clockwork. Thank you for making our trip so memorable."

"We had a great time! Picked up on time by our private coach, given tips on how to barter with local merchants (they can be tough negotiators). All in all it was good to have someone that made sure you weren’t taken advantage of and was able to save you time getting to the best locations. great experience"

"Great tour our guide Tom was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts and information. Would thoroughly recommend this tour and guide."

"Excellent insider tour. Guide was waiting for us right at the metro exit where he was supposed to, even though we arrived a little bit early. He took us around and talked to us about history as well as current events - he was very informative and spoke English very well. We visited two different areas with a metro ride in between. One was a quiet residential area and the other was a loud fun street. At the last visit we ended up spending over our previously paid/budgeted amount, but that may have been a miscommunication. Highly recommend this unique experience."

"5 stars without a doubt. The tour is authentic, with genuine ‘hole in the wall’ food throughout. The guide is a history nerd and takes you through an excellent walking path. It’s also very efficient from a timing perspective. Absolutely recommend if you’re in town for a few days and want a good dose of Shanghai in little time."

"One of the highlights of my trip to Shanghai. I'd definitely recommend doing this tour early in your trip, as it's a great way to learn your way around downtown. Jim was fantastic. He taught me a lot about Chinese history and culture, was very fun and friendly, and knew took me to eat a lot of really delicious food. I'm recommending his tour to all my friends that are planning a visit."

"If you do anything in Shanghai, this is a MUST!! The single most spectacular event you are ever likely to witness."

"I highly recommend this tour! Sunny is very well educated, excellent in English, extremely knowledgable, fun and friendly. The tour was very well organised, and Sunny was constantly aware of our comfort..it was very hot and she ensured we had air conditioning etc. The dinner was great, the famous taiwanese dumplings are a highlight. The river cruise was in the VIP area airconditioned and the views and photos opportunities were fantastic. When i was too hot to go out to get great photos, Sunny took my camera out and got some for me! Thanks Sunny for the wonderful evening, next time we are in Shanghai, we will be taking more of your tours. :-"

"Today we did the 3-hour tour of Qibao with Queena who is a very friendly and enthusiastic guide. She took us through the old Qibao and the Temple. We tried lots of traditional foods (our favorites were the Bamboo Rice and Fried Dumplings) and ended the day with a beautiful tea ceremony. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone."

"A delightful afternoon wandering around an ancient atmospheric romantic village - looking at the buildings, the architectural symbolism and the small lake. Some nice shops and cafes. Lots of artists painting. The guide, Sunny, was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. To get there, we drove through some gorgeous green scenery. Relaxing afternoon out. Would recommend."
