5.00It’s so amazing to visit Shanghai and thanks to our great tour guide, Lily. Her service was excellent (it included a spacious van, driver, expert tour guide, flexible arrangements). She responded promptly, double checked with me my hotel address (my hotel name are different from map and booking info), and sent me a tour remind-note every day with specific time, tour guide name & mobile number. I just wished I had more time to spend with Linda, our other tour guide, who showed us beautiful Northern SHanghai at night with dinner and a wonderful river boat cruise. I am sure I will come back to Shanghai again. It’s such wonderful experience.
Wonderful experience

5.00Lily's humor and mastery of English more than made up for the horrible weather on our tour. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. I highly recommend hiring Lily for your Shanghai tour needs.

5.00Lily recently led a private evening tour for a group of 36 from Atlantis Tours (charter group). She was personable, spoke beautiful English, and was very welcoming. She was flexible, happy to share Shanghai information and we had zero complaints. I would highly recommend hiring Lily for a group or private tour to Shanghai!
Lily is amazing!

5.00Upon completing our travel plans to Shanghai our family wanted to do a guided tour. I contacted Lily and she responded very quickly with an itinerary for the evening. Lily was also very flexible and accommodating to our requests. She is Bi-lingual, which was a super bonus for us because we speak English. Lily is very knowledgeable of Shanghai and it's rich history which was fascinating to learn about. She is also very personable and has a GREAT sense of humor. We highly recommend her and her agency for any and all of your needs while visiting Shanghai. You won't be disappointed!!
Linda is a very knowledgeable...

5.00Linda is a very knowledgeable , friendly and professional tour guide. I highly recommend this tour as you get to choose where you want to go and what you want to do with your time. Top attractions are The Bund, the place is bustling with locals and tourists enjoying the night life and amazing lights Nanjing Road is great for shopping Yu Garden is also a great place to see , very rich in history. You also have a lot of street food options at the bazaar and you can find great buys for souvenirs.
Highly recommended!

5.00My family of 6 spent about 2 weeks visiting Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuzhen & Hangzhou. Lily was our tour guide for some of the days. My family had a good and enjoyable time touring with Lily. Her knowledge and passion of each attraction left us wanting to learn more about this country’s rich culture and traditions. She is knowledgeable of both distant and recent history as well as modern social issues and politics. We enjoyed the story about the three sisters of the Song Family when visiting the Museum of Sun Yat-sen's Former Residence. She can customize the tour based on your needs and availability. I appreciate her kindness & willingness for offering extra service. Prior to our visit, she helped us to arrange transports from one city to another, & book the show tickets, speed train tickets & even have our SIM card ready when we arrived in Shanghai. She even taught us how to make purchases using the Wechat wallet, this was an amazing experience by not carrying so much cash with me, a cell phone will do it all. She made my family trip more relax & easier. I really appreciate that. We would highly recommend using Touring Israel for anyone concidering visiting Shanghai.
Highly organized and knowledgeable

5.00Lily recently took a busload of Queen Mary 2 passengers (with me being one of them) on a 5 hour highlights tour of Shanghai. Lily was highly organized and spoke exceptional English. She was also both entertaining and knowledgeable of the city of Shanghai and China more broadly. I'd highly recommend!
