Shanghai's finest

I can highly recommend the tour with Lisa! She is well versed in the history of the city and has an answer to every question. The tour was varied and exciting – we visited the water city of Szujiaojiao, the impressive Shanghai Tower (the third tallest building in the world) and the Yuyuan Old Town. A special highlight was the dumping dinner at Lisa's family – a very personal and beautiful experience. Lisa also gives great food recommendations and makes sure you experience the city in an authentic way.

A Must-Visit: Zhujiajiao’s Charm and Flavors!

A lovely mix of culture and food! Zhujiajiao’s old bridges and canals felt like stepping back in time. Yu Garden was busy but beautiful, and the wonton-making was a fun, hands-on way to end the day.

wonderful trip

A friend booked this Shanghai tour for me, and it turned out to be one of the best days of my trip! Our guide Lisa was fantastic — so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She made the whole day flow perfectly. I loved seeing both the modern skyline and the traditional old streets, and the food was amazing too. Lisa really made the city come alive — such a charming guide!

Very Nice Tour with Local Exposure

It was a nice amazing for all of us! The wonton making activity is really one of a kind. We get to go to a local family, talk to them, hang out with them, and make wontons together. I learned so much from the process. And the wonton tasted very delicious! I got to say, it's a very fully packed day!

Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

How much does Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai cost?

+

Prices start at $229 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai take?

+

Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

Is Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Zhujiajiao and Yu Garden Tour with Wonton Making in Shanghai start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

+

On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Shanghai?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
