Amazing Trip In Shanghai - We had an outstanding experience with our tour guide Caroline in Shanghai! She was incredibly professional and demonstrated extensive knowledge about the history of the various places she took us to. Her energetic and engaging personality made the tour even more enjoyable. She was extremely patient, allowing us plenty of time to shop and take pictures. Not only did she guide us through the city, but she also acted as our photographer, capturing beautiful memories of our time in Shanghai. We wholeheartedly recommend her and have already booked her for additional tours. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Best private tour with excellent service and knowledgeable guide - We decided to book this private tour since we are traveling with our parents and public transport wouldn’t be convenience for them and it turned out to be the best decision!
The best about this tour is that we can choose attractions that we really want to go and the driver took us directly to all the places which in one day, you get to explore both Shanghai’s new and old areas.
Apart from the excellent tour, Snow our tour guide was amazing. She is very knowledgeable and expert on the city and gave us many insights about Shanghai. She also took us to the best fried dumplings I ever had.
I would recommend if you have just a few day and want to explore all Shanghai’s attractions, choose this tour and you will not regret.

Amazing experience - Caroline was really amazing and the excursion was interesting and exciting. Caroline's English was very easy to understand which we appreciated a lot because we are not native-speakers and sometimes we have difficulties with understanding other guides. And the driver was great. I am anxious and usually I feel uncomfortable when another person drives a car, but at this excursion I felt safe because the driver was very careful.
