    This was a lovely tour and we really appreciate being able to customize it to our own style. Our guide Peggy did a fantastic job touring us around and was accommodating to us even having a wonderful foot treatment by some little fish. The history was so rich and you could appreciate her and fellow Chinese citizens the love of country and pride in the accomplishments Shanghai has achieved. Loved having the fish nibble our feet. The Watertown was so interesting and the temples beautiful. Thanks Peggy great job.

    Private tour is a way to go, you can see so much in given time. No waiting for other stragglers. It was just me and my wife and pace was just right for us. Having fluent English speaker that will give you informative tour of your visit with private driver that pick you up and drop you off at the site is perfect.
