Shanghai's Sacred & Serene: Yu Garden & Jade Temple 4-Hr Tour

We had a wonderful time on this half day personal tour. Our guide Mary was wonderful. She picked us up in our hotel lobby and was extremely personable in relating the history of the Yu Garden, Jade Buddha Temple and surrounding areas. She also provide great recommendations for other private areas to visit in the city. We started at the Yu Garden and worked our way through an older part of the city — including seeing the city’s first tea house — before heading into the garden. It was a nice relaxing visit and an extremely beautiful oasis in the city. The Jade Buddha Temple was very beautiful and it was interesting to learn more about the faith. Mary let us move at our own pace which was great. A great experience!

This was amazing..Mary was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learnt so much, took lots of great photos and even squeezed some shopping. Gardens and temple simply beautiful…do not miss this!!

This is a brilliant tour! Mary is amazing, very knowledgeable and super friendly. I learned so much, took amazing pictures and even squeezed a tiny bit of shopping in. Gardens and temple are simply beautiful…do not miss this !

This tour was great! Miss Mary arrived early and explained what we would be seeing right away. She gave us background on the city while we travelled. She is an expert photographer, telling us how to get the best angles and often taking much better photos than we could manage. She answered all our questions. And the water was appreciated as it was a very hot day. Mary is a great tour guide and clearly loves the city. Great tour!

I’m late writing this review but I had an absolutely phenomenal tour with Mary! She was knowledgeable and funny and helped me take great pictures. The Yuyuan Gardens and Jade Buddha Temple are beautiful and I would recommend this tour and Mary to anyone!!

I enjoyed Very much walking on the old town having lunch with a Very amazing tour guide Mary in the 100 years old restaurant. So grateful seeing the Jade buddha and learning some cultures and a Beautiful You Garden. And Thank you so much for accommodating my last minute tour.

Los lugares valen la pena por si solos, pero la diferencia siempre la hará el guía. Mary, además de compartirnos toda la información pertinente, nos trató de maravilla, nos ayudó a tomar las mejores fotos de los lugres (ya que además es fotógrafa, y compositora) y fue la encargada de hacer que nuestra experiencia en Shanghái fuera mágica. Dudo que haya una mejor guía en Shanghái.
