Just back from 7 days of sightseeing with Jennys tours. Our tour guides Apple and Jessie were so good.

5.00Just back from an amazing tour with Jennys tours. From start to finish Jenny organised everything for us, from transfers to airport drop off. The drivers were always reliable. We had our tour guide Apple with us and she was fantastic. Always a smile on her face and was so friendly and professional. We also done the Linhai southern Great Wall tour and met Jessie. She was as a fantastic guide with great knowledge and was so friendly to us. We would highly recommend Jennys tours and the reviews speak for themselves. Jenny was always very prompt with replies and nothing was a problem if we needed to make changes to a tour. We would hope to come back to China again and would 100% avail of Jennys tours again.
Don't miss this!

5.00This private tour was perfect. It was just the two of us and Mr. Troy our tour guide. Mr. Troy was very knowledgeable and we were able to understand him perfectly. He was very personable and wanted to be sure we were getting too do all the things we wanted to. Mr. Troy even helped us with shipping and talking to vendors. I would HIGHLY recommend using Jenny's China tours for everyone! Thank you so much Mr Troy for our perfect day in Shanghai!

5.00The whole tour with Alice has been wonderful. She lovely, Mr Jo (driver) very punctual, friendly and her car super comfortable and clean. They both made us feel like two Shanghai citizens. We have had fun, chatted and learned about history throughout our tour. We thought being a tour in English would make it more difficult for us but everything went better than we expected. I recommend Jenny’s Tour services and Alice’s guide
A good day in Shanghai

5.00Had a fabulous day with our guide Troy. He met us at our hotel lobby and started with a quick initiation to where we were going. The day which included a traditional soup dumpling lunch went in a flash and was made all the more memorable by the history told by Troy. I fully recommend using Jenny’s tours who in fact had been recommended to us.

5.00We had an excellent day with Kristy visiting many sites in Shanghai, walking, taking taxis and the metro. The highlight was Chinatown which was all lit up in the evening. Kristy was a great guide looking asking us all day and sharing lots of interesting facts about Shanghai. Would highly recommend this tour.
