5.00Apple was a great tour guide! She showed up early in the hotel lobby. We changed my tour last minute to include the water town because my flight the next day got moved. You 100% should go see water town if you have time. It is beautiful and Apple got us amazing snacks while there. We went to see the bund and the garden. Highly recommend the tour. The dumplings and noodles were so good! Apple was very knowledgeable. You should go on this tour.

5.00We had a most wonderful experience in Shanghai with a great help of our amazing tour guide Peggy that works for Jenny’s China tours. She is the most experienced and knowledgeable guide and we will definitely recommend her and the company to all of our friends and family. Besides the great tour she introduced us to Shanghai’s pan fried pork dumplings from Yang dumplings restaurant,and as soon as U returned to Pittsburgh I researched to find similar place near by. I will definitely return to Shanghai that became my favorite city in Asia,and I’ve visited quite a few countries there.
Highly recommend. Peggy...
