We had Wing as our tour guide and she did a wonderful job showing us around. She was able to tell us the history of the area and took us to some great places! I would definitely recommend having Wing as your tour guide! Thank you again!
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide Lea. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our family’s needs throughout the day. She kept our children engaged, adjusted the pace when needed, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience.
Wing had a lot of information to share about everywhere we went today. She is a very professional and pleasant guide that made the experience very special for my first time in Shanghai
We are not 'tour' travelers. We like to see and experience how the people really live in the locations we visit. We told Sammi to show us what she thinks is important about Shanghai. She was very knowledgeable. We had a great time.
Excellent! Out guide Sammi was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and truly helpful.
Though it was half day tour we were able to visit everything we planned to go to. The guide was very informative and has good communication skills. She is flexible as well because she was able to adjust our itinerary based on our liking. Overall ot was a great experience.

We rate this experience 5/5 because we had a great experience. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Sammy was a great guide. We recommend this tour to everyone.
This is a brilliant way to begin a trip to Shanghai. Robert was the best tour guide and a wonderful ambassador for Shanghai. His knowledge of the local area and Chinese history meant that our introduction to this mega and cosmopolitan city was comprehensive. Thank you, Robert! (Our driver was awesome too as he negotiated the traffic!). We are so glad that we chose this tour for our first day in Shanghai. The communication in the lead up was brilliant and gave us all of the information we needed for a successful tour. Thank you to all involved !!
