5.00Cassie picked us up at our hotel and took us straight to the zoo. The zoo is very large and so it was great to have her get us through the highlights so we could move on to Zhujiajiao. Along the way she told us all about the regions of China and the various dynasties. We loved Zhujiajiao, it was more quiet than we expected for a Saturday. Cassie also took lots of photos of our group and after a delicious lunch helped us with our shopping. Afterwards she dropped us off at the pedestrian walking street downtown so we could continue our evening. Great, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide. Would recommend!

5.00Fantastic 10/10 recommend. Our guide Lea spoke very good English, was lovely to chat to and full of local knowledge. She made the whole tour easy and assisted with translation for us in the water village and zoo. Transport was also top notch and very clean, very good time management with Lea and the driver. We left personal items in the car and Sunny arranged to have them delivered to our hotel that night. Very very good tour and very well run. Recommend if you are in Shanghai.
Fantastic tour!!

5.00This was an absolutely fabulous experience. I learnt so much not just about the places I visited but also about the people I was introduced to. Shanghai Zoo is well worth the visit. We saw animals at their breakfast time and what was clearly their play time. The canal town is gorgeous and well worth visiting. But if you go I recommend going with a guide; you will learn so much more and you won’t have to sort out the arrangements.
Very nice experience
