Fantastic experience - This was an absolutely fabulous experience. I learnt so much not just about the places I visited but also about the people I was introduced to. Shanghai Zoo is well worth the visit. We saw animals at their breakfast time and what was clearly their play time. The canal town is gorgeous and well worth visiting. But if you go I recommend going with a guide; you will learn so much more and you won’t have to sort out the arrangements.

Amazing tour! - We had a fantastic tour thanks to Roy, our private tour guide. He was super accommodating and helped us with a bunch of things (even exchanging our USD for Yuans when we had to pay at a place that didn't accept credit cards). The Zoo was amazing, being able to watch pandas one meter away. Took great videos of them playing and eating. They even posed for our pictures! Zhujiajiao water town was really nice and we were able to experience the very traditional side of China. We had tea at a very lovely tea house, took a boat ride through the canals, had a delicious traditional Chinese food lunch and explored the town at our leisure. Roy was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Would recommend this tour 100%!
