5.00My parents visited China ten years ago and met our guide, Joy. This month, I traveled to Shanghai for work, and my parents got in touch with Joy. She arranged this Shanghai trip for me. While kicking it in Shanghai, we even had a video chat with my parents. She's just super cool and hospitable. Joy's a Shanghai native, born and bred. She took me around local spots, like this park originally set up by the French. She introduced me to Shanghai's historical buildings and showed me its future. When she found out I love Chinese dumplings, she took me to taste the best steamed dumplings I've ever had in my life. They tasted completely different from those in the US！Big shoutout to Joy – xie xie! And hey, if you ever hit the States, drop me a line! My parents and I would be over the moon to meet up with you!
Shanghai is NOT what I expected. Great tour with Joy! Highly recommended!

5.00Last week, me and my wife visited Beijing and Shanghai for the first time, recommended by a friend. We're glad we found Wanderlust Shanghai here. We visited many interesting places. Both my wife and I are vegans, and we initially thought it would be difficult to find vegetarian food in Shanghai, but that wasn't the case. Our guide, Joy, took us to eat at a century-old dumpling shop, and it was the best I've ever had! She also took us to the best photo spots that other tourists didn't know about. They really know this city well. If anyone is looking for a travel experience in Shanghai, I can certainly recommend Wanderlust Shanghai. Although it is not the cheapest trips, the quality of the accomodation, visits, professional guides and transportation, are well worth the additional costs.
