  • Great introduction to Shanghai!

    We had a wonderful tour of Shanghai! We visited old town, Yu Garden, the Bund, and the French Concession. Our tour guide, Sunny, spoke excellent English and was so knowledgeable about all of the sights. The highlight was Yu garden where she explained the rich history of the garden and the symbolic elements. She also helped a coworker with selecting pearls and negotiating the price. It was a great tour and I would highly recommend.

    Thank you for making all my wishes come true. It was the perfect guide. Our guide in Shanghai recommends her. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. I knew a spot with night views that I could go to for free. It was amazing. I was worried about the toilet, but I had no problem. It was the perfect guide. Thank you.

    Shanghai is a beautiful city and our guide Anna was Extremely pleasant and knowledgeable about the Chinese culture and history of Shanghai. We are a family of 4 and did the 4 hour private tour. The tour was organized and we visited the main attractions and ended by visiting an off market goods location where we negotiated some good buys. (Please note the initial offer price will be 3-4 times the actual value so be prepared to negotiate) The tour was good value for money.
