    Worth it all the way, especially if you want to be with a Local and get to know the culture. You get to ask and and learn new things, is a relatively big town so is worth having someone that know how to move around.

  • An excellent tour with an excellent guide

    This tour was well organised from pick up to drop off. I had great communication with Alana after booking and informing me of who the guide would be and where to meet with a photograph to be certain. She had asked if we had any special requests etc . Meeting Kalvin was easy. He was polite and friendly and really knowledgeable. We learned a lot in a short space of time without being overloaded with facts and figures. He designed the morning to suit us as we had mentioned to Alana we were not shoppers and our tour of the water village was excellent .

  • Great tour

    Excellent tour by Judy. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided us a nice walking tour with many photos opportunities. Allowed us time to do a bit of shopping without rushing us. Really enjoyed our afternoon on this tour.

    We had Kelvin as our guide he was excellent and very knowledgeable, spoke very good English and knew a lot about Chinese history and cultures . He took us to Mr Ma’s house which had beautiful gardens. We had an enjoyable ride down the canal where he pointed out lots of interesting features and facts and took pictures of us on the boat and bridges for us to have some beautiful memories. He also took us to a small family owned restaurant where the food was from farm to table which was very enjoyable. He also told us a lot of information about Shanghai’s skyscrapers, living conditions and their general way of life. He went out of his to help us with getting a particular souvenir that we wanted. The driver was excellent and the car was very comfortable a truly enjoyable trip from start to finish
