Annie was the perfect guide for us. She showed us around old Shanghai and told us the history of the Yu Gardens. We definitely felt comfortable and like we learned a lot. She also took some great photos of us! Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful trip going to Yu Yuan. May was an excellent tour guide anc very knowledgeable. she was wonderful about explaining elements of the Chinese garden and architecture, which I find fascinating. . She gave me a very good tour of the entire area and answered all my questions. We went to a restaurant with a little tea shop on the second floor and were able to have a lovely tea ceremony in a private room. I was able to choose five different kinds of tea and we were able to have a lovely tea ceremony in a private room. I was able to choose five different kinds of teas for tasting. Each of them was prepared in a different kind of teapot. It was really an amazing experience and it made my trip to Shanghai special. I only I bought a couple kinds of tea, but there was definitely hope by the owner that I would buy more.
A must do trip!
