This was one of our highlights in Shanghai. With the help of our amazing guide Xin, we got to experience the beautiful Yu gardens, The Shanghai Tower, The Bund and the Zhujiajiao water town. Xin is just the guide we needed - knowledgeable and generous with information, ensured we captured the moments by taking our photos, patient and caring especially when we needed to take breaks. We had a lovely local lunch at Zhujiajiao water town and the boat ride was amazing. I would recommend this trip and more so - our guide Xin
It was a truly beautiful and eventful day with many impressions. I was lucky that "Snow" was my tour guide that day. She is a competent and very friendly tour guide.
We had an amazing experience thanks to our guide Snow. My family and I learnt and saw so many incredible things in Zhujiajiao Water Town: we fed fishes, walked around in beautiful Chinese garden, went on a boat ride and many more. I couldn’t recommend this tour and the guide Snow enough!
The Water Town tour was the highlight of our visit to Shanghai! Our tour guide, Snow, was amazing! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was customized to exactly what we wanted to do, and Snow was flexible when we decided to switch a few of the sites. I highly recommend this tour and would request Snow again!
Snow was an excellent guide! She was flexible and adjusted the itinerary since we’d already seen a few places earlier in the week. The boat ride through Zhujiajiao Water Town was a highlight, and we loved seeing the giant pandas and red pandas, enjoying a delicious local lunch, and taking in the views from Shanghai Tower and the beautiful bookstore. She even helped us find the jade necklace I’d been searching for. It was the perfect last day in Shanghai. Highly recommend!
Me and my sister went on this amazing tour. Our tour guide, snow, was very friendly and had so much knowledge of the temples and local erea. We are local food for lunch, which you could tell was chosen for quality and good service! The staff was very nice, the food came out quick and was very tasty!
Our family of five (3 teenagers) had a very fun day in Shanghai with tour guide Snow! The tour company was really great about communicating with us before the tour and the private van picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We enjoyed seeing Yu Gardens, the Bund, Shanghai tower and Water City. We also had a delicious family-style Chinese lunch. The tour was seamless and Snow was very informative and very easy to be with. I would highly recommend!
Very nice day! Saw lots of highlights of Shanghai with Snow, who was an excellent guide. She shared tons of history and information.
Our guide Snow was excellent. Would highly recommend. Very helpful regarding getting around and visiting other things in Shanghai. Also our driver was very professional and mini bus was comfortable. We especially loved the water village.
My family and I had a perfect trip to tge ancient river town, Zujiajiao. Our personal tour guide Snow was amazing! She was the most thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind tour guide we have used in the World. We also loved our driver, Sifu and the luxury transportation we drove in for the entire trip. Snow perfectly timed all of our stops so we never had any wait time at any location which on a Saturday tour was very impressive. Snow also helped us to do some excellent shopping for fresh water pearls and other Chinese souvenirs. We stopped for lunch in the water town and had a delicious meal overlooking a scenic canal from a second floor restaurant. My family's complicated dietary needs of one vegan, one vegetarian, and a meat eater but no pork were perfectly accommodated. This tour with Snow was worth more than 5 stars and I recommend you ask for her directly when booking with Alana.
