We had an incredible time with Jessie 华琳! - My family and I had little time in Shanghai but we knew that we wanted to explore the Jewish history within Shanghai. We were able to book this tour a few days in advance through our hotel. Jessie was an amazing tour guide, she has great English and told us interesting stories about the sites she took us to. We were very happy to be able to see so much of Shanghai in so little time with the help of Jessie and the private car. Jessie was very warm and friendly and we all enjoyed our time together. After the tour, she kindly offered to take us to see other parts of Shanghai based on the specific things my family wanted to see. She took us to a very special tea shop and arranged a tea ceremony for us with a wonderful woman, Susan, who worked there. Afterwards, she showed us around the shops near Yu Garden and helped us buy tickets for Yu Garden as well. She was very attentive to our preferences and what kind of things we were interested in and definitely adjusted to that so that we could get the most of our day. We really appreciated Jessie’s services and company and definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to travel in Shanghai with a day catered personally to you. 谢谢， 华琳！

jewish tour shanghai - the concierge at the intercontinental puxi hired a guide for a private tour of the jewish heritage sites. Our tour guide jesse or hua lin was excellent. The guide and car arrived on time. jesse was very knowledgeable about the sites on the tour, her english was excellent. we were taken in a very clean sedan with excellent air conditioning. When I return to shanghai next year via cruise ship I will definitely request this tour company and jessie. The tour was expensive but worth it.
