For us, what I remember is the change from one stop to the next: different room, different smell, different crowd. Shaoxing scenery with Wine Tasting & Boat was only one part of it.

Joanna N.🇧🇪 Belgium★★★★★2024-09

Practically speaking, the Shanghai stops were organised, but the food did not arrive like a rehearsed tasting menu. Each place kept its own character. With 11 hours to work with, the balance felt sensible.

Lena C.🇺🇸 USA★★★★★2024-12

The useful part in Shanghai was not just trying food, but knowing what to order again later. I saved two dish names in my phone before the tour ended. The time around Shaoxing scenery with Wine Tasting & Boat was not the part I would cut.

Hugo R.🇳🇿 New Zealand★★★★★2024-11

Honestly, I tend to switch off when tours become a stream of dates. Here, the stories around Shanghai gave me enough to hold on to without overloading the day. I would keep the Shanghai outline as it was.

Amelia C.🇸🇬 Singapore★★★★☆2025-06

Honestly, I came with questions, left with more questions, and mean that as a compliment. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Shaoxing scenery with Wine Tasting & Boat.
