Best private tour ever. Fantastic experience. Our tour guide and the company were so accommodating and flexible to cater our needs and schedule. The tour guide is a local lady who is being so gentle, polite and informative. She is also very patient and willing to fit in our time. We were arranged a great lunch in a restaurant of very high quality and standard without asking us for extra. Really appreciated it! The driver was very friendly and helpful. The car was so comfortable and clean as well. Would definitely join again next time. Highly recommended.

We had one free day at the beginning of a business trip and wanted to make the most of our time. Snow was our guide for our private tour and she was great, so knowledgeable! We visited many sights and had an amazing lunch! Highly recommend this tour, thanks Snow!

We booked this experience online in the airport before we took off from Auckland and the service was exceptional right from the start. Very speedy responses and contact from the team made everything super easy. A very friendly and helpful Snow was our tour guide on a foggy Sunday morning in Shanghai and we had a fantastic time. The sights we saw, combined with an interesting and fun commentary from Snow made the day very worthwhile. The range of food we enjoyed at Din Tai Fung was also incredible. Highly recommended for an amazing and personal Shanghai sightseers experience.

This half-day tour is the perfect solution to get acquainted with some of the city's highlights if you do not have too much time on your hands. Alana was extremely friendly, punctual, considerate and flexible to make sure we can cover everything I was interested in. The transportation and the food were also fantastic - this trip is well worth the time and the money!

Our group, consisting of 6 members of our family, took a half day city tour with Ms. Snow, as our tour guide. This is our first visit to Shanghai. We would like to commend the services of Ms. Snow who showed complete and competent knowledge of both historical and current affairs of Shanghai. She was very pleasant, articulate in the English language, and accommodating. In this short trip, we learned so much about this beautiful city and grateful for having taken this trip instead of doing it on our own. The driver, though, made us walk to Yu Garden from Henan road. Ms Snow was telling him that he should have dropped us off somewhere nearer. Overall, the experience was very pleasant one.
