After spending 2 full days in Shanghai, we almost canceled this tour. Our guide Alice was quick to adapt the tour to show us parts of Shanghai that we haven’t seen. We went to the Art district, a Jade store/museum, a shopping mall, the largest Starbucks and Shanghai Tianzifang (a quaint shopping district) and the 1000 tree street. She took us for lunch at a popular dim sum restaurant and back home again. Alice was so accommodating and had a charming personality. I would highly recommend this tour company because of our guide and her willingness to adapt to a new situation.

We had a great tour of Old Shanghai with Grace who was warm and knowledgeable. She took us to see the Gods, had a tea ceremony and a lovely vegetarian dim sum lunch! We highly recommend!
