5.00We had a great half-day trip through Shanghai. Our guide Vero was very friendly, competent and attentive! The length of the tour was perfect for a family with child in this big city. The included lunch at Lost Heaven Restaurant was outstanding. Great trip and thanks again to Vero and Sunny.

5.00Shanghai half day tour with Roy was an excellent experience. He speaks very good English and knows history in depth. He was also flexible and he adjusted our lunch schedule and preference from dumpling to duck. Wow….He was also on time and the private van was first class, wonderful ride. See you again. Sunny was also very accomodating. Thank you Sunny and Roy! Well worth the time…a half day tour you must take!

5.00It was an absolutely delightful experience at my first journey to China. Sunny offered the most professional organization and service I have ever experienced on my travels. She contacted me in advanced and picked me up in my hotel at the agreed time. As I still was a bit jet lagged she took all my wishes seriously and adapted the tour to my physical condition on the go so that I really could enjoy the tour at fullest. I had a lot of enjoyment to discover Shanghai by walking, driving, eating, talking, and having a drink in a bar with an exceptional view. The trip is worth each penny and I highly recommend it to any one who would like to dig deeper into the Shanghai's daily life. Many thanks!
