The Best Day in Shanghai!

5.00We had the most wonderful experience exploring the beautiful city of Shanghai — and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Sammi. From the very beginning, Sammi went above and beyond to create the perfect itinerary for us. She shared the rich history behind everything we saw, bringing each site to life with her knowledge and enthusiasm. We were especially fascinated by the stunning Jade Buddha Temple. Exploring its exquisite chambers and learning about its history was truly unforgettable. The blend of old and new architecture throughout the city was equally impressive, and Sammi made sure we appreciated every detail. One of the highlights of our day was lunch at her favorite traditional Chinese restaurant. She thoughtfully selected dishes she considered “must-tries,” and it turned out to be one of the best meals of our trip! Her goal was clearly to make this a memorable experience from start to finish, and she succeeded in every way. She had endless patience taking photos for us at all the picturesque spots, and by the end of the tour, we felt completely fulfilled and so grateful for the day we had. I would also like to mention Sunny, the tour coordinator, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had been in touch with her for a year while planning this experience, and she was always responsive, flexible, and accommodating when we wanted to adjust our original itinerary. The day was perfectly balanced — comfortable transportation combined with plenty of time to walk and explore. We couldn’t have asked for more. This tour deserves a perfect five stars, and Sammi deserves ten for being the very best guide we could have hoped for!

5.00Annie was a very knowledgeable guide. 6 friends from different countries working together on a Cruise Ship don't always have much time for tours, so this evening tour just for us was the perfect fit, as we were able to decide where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. We decided for the old town, the French concession and the Dim Sum. Annie chose a variety of different dishes, and all was delicious, she chose very well, and we enjoyed. The old town looks very different to the daytime and we were amazed, the French Concession was new to us and is the perfect place to have a cocktail or two at the end of the tour. Great tour and we would recommend it!
