We have a perfect evening on a private evening tour of Shanghai. Our tour guide Kalvin is a native of Shanghai and had been a professional guide for 20 years. He took us to old town, explained the history of the city, took us to the financial district, we had a delicious dinner and ended with a walk of the Bund. Couldn’t have been better!
Absolute must-do!

We had a wonderful tour with Kiki. She is extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much about Shanghai and its history. From booking everything to the tour, we had excellent communication and follow-up, and were able to have pick up at our hotel outside of the downtown area. Kiki and the driver (sorry forgot his name) were super flexible, friendly and accommodating, when we had to make a slight change they went out of their way to make sure we were able to finish with seeing the sights and having a great time. I would absolutely book another tour again with this team and Kiki when I return for a more comprehensive tour.
Wonderful Tour

This was an amazing tour, especially with Kalvin. We asked for a tour of older historic neighborhoods, where there would not be a lot of tourists, and he delivered and more. Kalvin is a 6-star tour guide and suggest you ask for him if you're ever in need of knowing about the past and present (and future) of Shanghai. His depth of knowledge and personality were incredible, making things easy to understand and delightful to hear; just like getting taught by a favorite teacher. I wish we had another 4 hours with him.
Great first day in Shanghai

The team were professional and friendly throughout, Alana arranged the meeting points and checked if we wanted anything different before we were picked up, and kept in contact with us. The driver sorry I can’t remember is name but requested him from this review he was very professional and had a lovely clean air condition car, and Snow our guide was beyond excellent! She was very easy-going very informative and knowledgeable, it was like having a friend show us around. I highly recommend this team. Thanks to all of you making our first day in Shanghai a great one 🙏🏾

Sophie was an amazing tour guide! She spoke perfect English and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I learned so much. It was great that she was able to customize the tour. In addition, she took me to a dumpling restaurant for locals only that was excellent. I highly recommend this tour and will do it again the next time I am back in Shanghai.
