5.00Wonderful time with Kevin! We took advantage of our long layover in Shanghai and booked this private tour, and it was the best decision ever! Kevin was super knowledgeable about Shanghai and he was very accommodating to our needs. The team, Kevin and the driver, made it very easy to get around Shanghai in a very comfy vehicle. I would recommend this private tour to anyone as you can personalize the tour to meet your needs with a wonderful tour guide. I cannot thank Kevin enough for this great experience in Shanghai!

5.00Communication beforehand with the tour operator was very clear and easy and they even offered to organise a German speaking tour guide. At the airport we were picked up by a driver who brought us to the city center where we met our fabulous tour guide Sarah! She did a great tour with us during late afternoon/evening though Shanghai. She explained a lot and gave very useful information. She also had the best photo stops for us. 10/10 would recommend this tour!

5.00Sunny collected us from the cruise terminal,wisked us away in a good quality mpv. Our driver was top quality from start to finish , sunny passed us on to Claire (Chi-Chi) , who was the guide for the day. Both ladies were so efficient, and friendly , making sure they understood exactly what we wanted and modified the day to suit us, and of course the tight schedule we had. Informative throughout , Chi-Chi (quig-quing) filled our needs and more, with her knowledge and exceptional grasp of the English language. If you want to go to Shanghai, see it in all it's beauty and wonderment , then please see it with sunny private tours !
Above and beyond!

5.00My teenage son and I had an excellent time all around with this experience! Sunny was a great communicator from start to finish, the driver was patient and helpful, and Annie was an excellent guide who shared so much information and her perspectives with us! We had limited time, but filled it well! Also, the team went above and beyond, helping us to find a personal item left behind on the plane, making multiple calls in Chinese to help us sort it out! I recommend this tour very highly!
