The tour guide was very friendly, polite, and informative. She took us to some great locations to learn about Shanghai, to purchase authentic teas, and to shop for souvenirs. She was great at taking pictures. We culminated the excursion with an authentic meal which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wishes to visit Shanghai.

We had a great private tour with Sophie. We were transported in a luxurious comfortable car. At the water town we got a very detailed history of the area, garden and temple. We enjoyed walking through the small alleys with shops, eating the local cuisine and ending with the relaxing boat ride. Sophie gave us excellent tips for our stay in Shanghai. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing day, our guide Kalvin and Driver were both fabulous. Kalvin's experience of growing up in Shanghai was really interesting - really nice to be shown around by a true local!

Excellent private tour with extremely knowledgeable Shanghainese guide, Kalvin. Also great pre-tour contact and information from Alana was very much appreciated. It was a great way to spend my very limited amount of time in Shanghai.
