5.00Emma was a great guide. Every single thing was impeccably arranged. Everything was perfectly on time and the lunch with all our special requirements was amazing. She gave us good explanations on history, architecture and culture of the place. She exudes positive energy and enthusiasm which is lovely! The drivers both in Shanghai and Linhai were also excellent. The one in Linhai came with local oranges which was a nice touch. We really had a wonderful day. The only thing I would have liked is a high speed train back to Shanghai but maybe the timings didn't match up. The tour is a bit on the pricy side but really a lovely experience.

5.00The great wall is amazing and so worth the time to get up the stairs. The buffet lunch at the most beautiful restaurant. The monks and Mr Chin house and the history of the area. The bullet train is so fast and worth the train ride.

5.00I want start by saying our tour guide was amazing. Polite, respectful and informative. The whole time making sure if we were comfortable or if we needed anything. We did the Great Wall tour and the spots for the perfect pictures were amazing. I highly recommend this tour
Great (rainy) day!

5.00This event was really well-planned and executed. George picked my up right on time in perhaps the nicest, cleanest car I've ever ridden in. Jordan met us at the train station & took care of everything from then on. We ended up grabbing some coffee for the train ride, then enjoying 2 really chill hours at 300km/hr. :) The first main stop is East Lake & the various halls and pavilions throughout. Jordan was enthusiastic about providing information & additional context around different features of the structures. I enjoyed a little back and forth trading of cultural stories here and there. Throughout, he did a great job of engaging me in the experience instead of just lecturing or sharing facts. He gave me a few options about how we could spend the day - weighted more to the wall or to shopping or whatever - and was happy to take me where I wanted to go (and not take me where I didn't want to go). Lunch was excellent and provided a perfect little break in the day. (I got 9,820 steps in that day, despite spending 5-6 hours in cars and trains and taxis!) It was a dreary and rainy day, so we ended up not spending as much time on the wall as I might have otherwise preferred - my decision. Still, the wall was fascinating, and again Jordan was engaging & indulged my curiosity about various aspects of the structure. The return trip was the reverse of the morning - chill train ride, and a handoff to George for a great ride back to the hotel. The biggest win was that I told Jordan at one point that I needed to get a specific baijiu for people back home, and he had George scope out some stores before our train got back. And he found some! So I was able to treat people back home. Way to go above and beyond with such a weird request. 11/10 - highly recommend this team.

Serene walk with our guide Jenny

5.00I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Shanghai. Our guide, Jenny, was amazing from coordinating pick-up from the hotel to food and photo spot suggestions. If you want to walk the entire wall, she is right there with you, climbing those very steep stairs. We went on a Friday and the area was not crowded at all, even Ziyang Old Street. Jenny provided insightful facts about the area, answered every question we had, and kindly let me practice my Chinese. This is a perfectly packed sightseeing visit to Linhai if you don't have time to stay overnight.
Excellent experience out of Shangai

5.00Very well organized trip; our guide Summer was excellent in the way she explained and took care of us throughout the entire day. This trip takes you out of the Shangai crowd and allows you to see a beautu like this southern wall and the old town it sorrounds. Many thanks to our guide and to the company, who was flexible to rearrange the schedule according to our needs.
Great day! It was...
