Great way to see Shanghai at night - This was a great way to see the highlights of Shanghai on my one evening here. The team reached out the day of my tour and asked if I wanted to do anything off of the itinerary, however what they had planned was what I requested. Xin met me at the hotel, and the driver took us on our way in a nice, air conditioned vehicle. This was a great tour and I got to see the French Concession, eat dumplings at The Shanghai Tower, walk around Yu Gardens and the Bund. Xin took photos of me along the way, which I also appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour! Jane is so helpful and kind! - We had a great time with Jane on our tour! We had gone on 2 tours prior to with the same company, so on our third tour we had it customized. We got to walk through the French Consession and visit a park full of locals doing activities they love. We also had the most amazing fried dumpling tasting! It was a wonderful way to end our time in Shanghai! Jane really went over and beyond on service as our tour guide. We had asked to do some shopping before heading to the airport. She took us to a shopping mall where we wanted to purchase a necklace from a jewelry store. Unfortunately we didn’t have Alipay set up and they couldn’t take our card. She helped us out in payment and we were able to pay her instead. We wouldn’t have been able to purchase it without her! The tours with all of our Shanghai tour guides have been the best part of our trip!

Private day tour - I had a great day tour with Mary. I had specific sites I wanted to see and they adjusted the schedule of the day to accommodate my interests and desired sites - in all we visited Yu Garden, the Jade Buddha Temple, Tianzifang, and Longhua Temple. Mary and the driver picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off, and the day was seamless. Mary has deep knowledge of history and sites and was an excellent guide to help me understand the context of the sites. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch of Shanghai dumplings which was very tasty. I thought this tour was an excellent value for money and I would repeat the experience in a heartbeat.

Great way to see Shanghai with a tight timeframe - Snow was my tour guide, and she was amazing. I had a morning free before going to the airport to leave, and this worked out great. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me off at the airport, making sure the timing was perfect. Snow filled the experience with plenty of history and details of everything we saw, and even while we were driving between locations she filled me in on Shanghai life. The tour was easy, flexible, and perfect for me to experience a little of Shanghai in the short amount of time I had. Highly recommend!
