Favorite Sights of ShanghI - Troy was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We saw Watertown, went on a gondola and ate a sticky rice dumpling. The next day we went to see the Jade Buda Temple, the Bund and shopping. Troy had lots of patience. Then we had a wonderful lunch. I tasted different kinds of dumplings. Shanghai has been the greatest experience. Thank you Jenny’s Tours and my wonderful guide Troy! Doris

Top Tour Guides in Shanghai! - Hi Jenny, just arrived in London from Shanghai and a lovely two days sightseeing with Cathy & Mr Tao! Cathy is a lovely young lady and an excellent guide - she made our sightseeing an absolute delight. Mr Tao is a very responsible & competent driver, & so we also used him to drive us to the airport on departure. Cathy checked with us regularly throughout each day to make sure we were happy with what we were seeing, and that the pace was not too fast. We will certainly recommend your company to any friends of ours who may visit China, & make sure they ask for Cathy! Thank you again for your services. Lindsay & Gillian - New Zealand

Water Town - After the city center in Shanghai, we were transported to a different place and time. From the calming and quiet boat ride, to strollling through the ancient streets, to trying some amazing food, the trip was a very pleasant glimpse into the past.

BOOK IT NOW! - This tour was incredible and Cathy was super great! I was in China for a business trip and last minute had some personal time. It's difficult to get around China without a Chinese speaker so I looked for a tour and found Jenny's tours. In less than 24 hours, I was assigned a guide. It was very reasonably priced also for a solo trip. It helped a lot also that Cathy's English was VERY good. She was very friendly and knew so much of the history! Cathy helped me and encouraged me when buying souvenirs and got us really good food. She was also very willing to take all my pictures for me lol. I was very happy with this and would HIGHLY recommend booking with Jenny!
