Clear filterBest tour of the water town
Published on Dec, 2024
We had a very enjoyable Shanghai local food tasting tour. Portia was our guide and she explained the different cuisine in Shanghai (and also Shanghai’s history). Jade took us to great local restaurants where we could see the preparation and we enjoyed very much every dish we had and also the tea tasting ceremony. The tour finished sampling exotic fruits in a lovely fruit shop. Jade was a fantastic guide and the tour was a highlight of our stay in Shanghai.
Great Tour and Cooking Class!

Amazing trip!! Portia was an incredible tour guide who went above and beyond. She was knowledgeable, super personable and made sure we were having a great time the whole time. Her English was also exceptional. The dumpling class was a real look into the lifestyle of the area and added such a nice homey touch to the experience. We had a wonderful time!
Awesome Trip

We had a perfect day with Portia. On our way to Watertown, she told us a lot about Shanghai, Zhoujiajiao and China in general. When we arrived, we went with a boat to Zhoujiajio, walked through the streets, tasted some food and visited a garden and a temple. Thanks for a wonderful day!
Thoroughly enjoyable day out

From the beginning, both Sophia and Mia were excellent guides. I was greeted at the pickup point and accompanied to the Watertown without any hassles. I was amazed by the deep knowledge of the guides and enjoyed learning about the 36 bridges, gardens, temple and local culture. Mia and Sophia had wonderful friendly natures and a great sense of humour which made things even better. The bites and sips of local foods were tasty with lots of variation for everyone’s taste. The boat ride and attractions were all handled seamlessly by the guides and I couldn’t imagine a better organized day out and, as a non Chinese speaker, the girls’ English was excellent.
must be done in Shanghai
Published on Apr, 2024
I had half a day left in Shanghai, I asked Wanderlust for recommendations on places to visit. That's when I booked with Wanderlust Shanghai for the second time, and went to Zujiajio with the same guide. The name was a bit hard to remember, but it's a water town. I told them I love taking photos, so they took me to various hidden spots in the water town for photos. I'm really, really grateful for their thoughtfulness. I'm not someone who usually joins organized tours. But here is just too many people and Wanderlust Shanghai is a team listening to my wants and needs and then coming up with recommendations that not only met, but exceeded, them, based on their detailed knowledge of the cities we want to visit.
