What an amazing experience! This was my first time in Asia, with only sunrise till evening to explore between flights, and everyone involved (tour manager Alana, driver, and guide Mary) made me feel very welcome. I was picked up on time in a clean and comfy tesla that smelled like fresh flowers and had water bottles available (small gestures but it meant the world after my long flight), then given an engaging overview of the history and culture by my guide and shown a beautiful mix of modern and traditional Shanghai throughout the day. My favourite part was probably the delicious fried rice and wontons overlooking the canals of Zhujiajiao, and the sunset views at The Bund. I'm usually quite a budget traveler (hostels, public transport, etc) so a private tour was a splurge for me, but given how much of the usual travel stress you can encounter that the tour alleviated, I'd definitely say it was worth every cent. Thanks again Mary and team :)

I have been numerous times to Shanghai, but this tour was by far the best we have taken in this wondrous city. It was a wonderful mix of old and new, including authentic local food at lunchtime. Our tour guide Xin was an extremely good companion for the day, she was informative, helpful and unfailingly friendly, we could not have asked for more. Highly recommend this tour...

Caroline was very nice and atencious! She picked me up on time and showed me around the best of Shanghai speaking clearly English and showing the culture and history of China. She told me about several curiosities about this amazing place!

Great unhurried full day tour with Berlin. Knowledgeable, patient, friendly and accommodating. Away from the hustle and bustle and it was an extremely relaxing day, fuss and worry free knowing that Berlin took care of every single detail of the tour. Highly recommend!!!

Instead of doing this tour, I ended up in hospital with acute appendicitis. Caroline, my guide as well as Alana, the lady behind the scenes was fantastic. Caroline stayed with me at the hospital for hours. I could eventually do a private tour a week later with Judy. What a lovely person with so much knowledge. The Bund, Shanghai Tower, Yu gardens and French concession. 10 Stars for all of them and the 2 drivers. Highly recommended.
