Kalvin was an excellent guide. He is a walking encyclopedia of information for everything Shanghai, and could answer every one of our questions with confidence. He was so kind to my family (he even took my youngest to the restroom during lunch!), and we felt very taken care of in his hands. Highly recommended, and we would definitely book with him and Alana Tour again!
Shanghai a wonderful experience!
