5.00Ms. Snow is a very experienced guide and the transportation was very comfortable (Tesla 3). The entire ~8hours went by very quickly and she gave a detailed description and history of just about everything we saw. It was a very hot day / they gave me a small electric fan to make the heat more bearable and cold water bottles whenever I ran out. Mr. Shen was a great driver who safely drove us to and from all places. The co-ordination in between the two was really good, never waited more than a minute in the hot climate before the car came to pick us up. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore the Shanghai city with knowledgeable guides by your way the entire time. The ability to customize the tour was a huge plus for me too.
Beautiful day

5.00Beautiful day well divided between Shanghai and zhoujiajiae. The guide, Mary, competent and helpful, described the various places in a precise and exhaustive way. During lunch he recommended the best dishes making that a perfect time too.
Truly exceptional!

5.00The trip and the tour was truly exceptional! Perfect choice for the travelers wishing to see top beautiful and picturesque locations in Shanghai and its neighborhoods. I was very lucky to have Queena as my guide - she was very friendly, professional and helpful during all 9 hours of our journey. I definitely recommend having this tour when in Shanghai and Queena as a guide! Cheers!

5.00Good morning! I really enjoyed the tour. Mary was a really nice person, very patient and kind. Well spoken. The driver Joe also was a very kind person, always got off to open the door for us. Overall a great experience. Been to Shanghai many times,but seen these parts for the first time. Totally worth it
