Private Ganztagestour: Unglaubliche Shanghai Highlights

We had a fantastic day in Shangai and could adopt the tour according to our preferences. Great guide with a massive knowledge, great tour, great day. Happy that we took this private tour. Can highly recommend it.

July 9, 2026: My wife and I splurged on the private tour and were so glad we did. As westerners we need local knowledge to help us understand what we are looking at. And Troy, our guide, was full of knowledge and what little he didn't know, he quickly looked up for us. We're full of questions, but he never tired of fully answering us. We passed on some of the venues in order to take our time through the sites that interested us most. The Buddhist Temple, the Bund, and the Yu Gardens were fantastic. We could have spent all day in each of these. I'd like to specifically mention Yu Gardens. I was expecting more flowers so was a little underwhelmed at the beginning, but after about 5 minutes, I was won over. We wandered around for over 2 hours and kept finding treasures around every corner. The dumpling lunch was another highlight. We went to a local chain restaurant that is set up like an American fast-food place. But the food was hand made and very fresh. The Shanghai-style dumplings were something we'd not experience yet and probably would not have found on our own. How exciting! This tour option gave us a good feel for the city and helped us appreciate it all the more. We could not be happier with our choice. And when we decide to tour another city, we will look for a guide from Jenny's Tours.

This tour of Shanghai with Jenny’s Tours was exceptional. My friend had never visited the city and we only had a day to explore so I wanted to make sure he got the most out of our day. Our driver picked us up at our hotel outside of the city (for a nominal fee) and delivered us to Apple, our guide. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about the city whether exploring the Old Town, Bund, French Concession or the modern financial district in Pudong. She knew the best place for authentic Chinese cuisine and we enjoyed a fantastic lunch of dumplings, soup and noodles. My friend is afraid of heights, so we didn’t go up to the top of any of the skyscrapers but instead parked where we could get great photos of them. Since we had some extra time, Apple suggested we visit a fairly new art district, AKE, developed on the site of a former factory, which was really cool and something new to me as a previous visitor to the city. Lots of eateries, fun shops, cool architecture and photo ops there and the perfect way to end our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Apple. And our driver was very courteous and prompt when picking us up throughout the day. He even provided umbrellas for the day when the showers came. Again, I cannot say enough about our tour and for me the key selling point was the option to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel outside of the downtown area. That really helped us save time and be more efficient with our schedule. But once we met Apple, we knew this day was going to be a home run, and it was! I highly recommend this tour by Jenny’s Tours.

Excellent service. Fantastic guide who gave us a local’s perspective of Shanghai. Driver was polite and friendly. Fully recommend this tour.

The tour was great. Cathy had a lot of information on the history of Shanghai from the ancient dynasties to the modern culture. We visited many of the popular tourist attractions, ate at a local restaurant with fantastic food, and I was able to shop for everyone on my list. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Shanghai in a day. I also recommend booking a private car as it saves me travel time and allowed us to spend more time at each stop.

What a great day. Why would you ever sign up for a group to can you do this with a guide of your own and if it's a couple it's even cheaper. Celine was absolutely amazing she had to have the Tour two my likes and wants. We had so much fun. It was like I made a new Chinese sister. Highly highly recommend. As for Celine if she's available but she usually only works weekends. This is the only way to see Shanghai is with your own exclusive private guide. And please don't forget to tip at least 10 or 20%

After struggling on my own in Beijing, I chose to splurge on 3 days with Jenny’s tours. I normally like to figure out things by myself, but I’m so glad I booked a tour. I enjoy taking public transportation, and took the opportunity to learn the system from an expert for when I was on my own again. Troy was our guide and he had a seemingly magical ability to both lead then blend into the background while you enjoyed the sights. He was always ready with information about our locations, and never seemed caught off guard by my very random questions. We had some small modifications to how we wanted to spend our time, and since it was a private tour, that was of course no problem. I would gladly spend the extra money to do a private tour with Jenny’s again.

I really enjoyed this tour I would definitely recommend! Troy was amazing he was very informative and at the end of the tour he gifted me a Chinese tea set which was so nice. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Peggy speaks very clearly and she gives some interesting insight. she is very patience and flexible person. Peggy was really made our day happier, better and we really highly recommend Peggy for International people.

A really personal tailored day tour. Excellent driver and quality car. Extremely knowledgeable guide Peggy who was excellent and provided us with lots of information during the day. She spoke fluent English. A total gem of a guide. Highly recommended 5 star. Jenny's China Tours very good value for money. We will highly recommend to our family and friends visiting China.
