This tour was absolutely brilliant! If you want a good introduction to Shanghai and the popular spots, you’ll absolutely get it with the benefit of someone knowing exactly where to go and the history of the different locations. Also loved that it was a private tour because it was comfortable for ourselves and our almost 3 year old twin toddlers. Our guide Xin was super kind, helpful and informative - she would often take the helm and push one stroller for us. Thank you for a great tour, we loved it! And thank you too for showing us the best dumpling spot in Shanghai.
My guide can speak English very well. He was very kind & gentle. He got broad knowledge about China history. Car was very clean. Driver had good driving skills. I'm quite pleased.
This is definitely a must!! Can’t leave Shanghai without doing this tour. We had such an amazing experience on our 4-hour tour with Snow and our amazing driver! From the very beginning, they made everything smooth, welcoming, and enjoyable, setting the perfect tone for the day. Our driver was excellent safe, patient, and very accommodating, especially when navigating different stops and ensuring we had plenty of time to take in the views and take photos. The ride was comfortable throughout, and we always felt well taken care of. Snow was equally outstanding, sharing interesting local insights and stories that really brought each stop to life. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and engaged. She also helped us capture great photos and pointed out hidden details we would have otherwise missed. Together, they made the tour feel personal and special, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience at every stop. Their hospitality, teamwork, and genuine care truly stood out. Thank you, Snow and our fantastic driver, for making our day so enjoyable and unforgettable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alana from the tour company was an excellent communicator - when my WeChat wouldn’t work we were able to communicate via text. She helped us meet up with our guide Kalvin when we started out in the wrong spot. Kalvin was an excellent guide. Out Didi driver dropped us off in the wrong location and Kalvin found us quickly with Alana’s help. The tour of old town & Yu gardens was great. Kalvin was very knowledgeable about Shanghai’s ancient and near history - giving lots of perspective about the changes and developments over time. He helped us to find a chopstick store where we could get chopsticks personalized. We wanted to try some local Chinese food so he got us a great sampling and when the restaurant was out of xiao long bao, even went to another restaurant to get some for us. He had a driver arranged to take us to the Shanghai tower, teaching us lots about the development of Pudong over the past 30 years. We went us the tower to the viewing floor (tickets not included in tour price) and came up with us to point out all the sights. We had finished up at the Bund where he advised we could hang out for lights at 7pm, or take the driver back to our hotel. Kalvin offered a very personalized and interesting insight into Shanghai - he instantly made my non-Chinese speaking family feel at ease. Overall recommend 100% - I wish we had more than 4 hours with him. Don’t hesitate to ask for Kalvin!
Snow was fantastic I would highly recommend her to anyone coming to Shanghai. She was knowledgeable and friendly.
I think this is the best tour we ever had in my life. Mr Kelvin was outstanding.Super Excellent rating for him 6 star rating or him out of 5 I really appreciate his service Driver was also good. We never had to wait anywhere. Thanks for everything
Queena was a great tour guide! I booked last minute when I woke up with jet lag at 4am and couldn’t go back to sleep and am so glad I did. I was able to learn a lot about the top sites and get several tasty snacks!
You know those hotels in Dubai that have more than 5 star rating? Well, this is it! Kalvin is highly professional, with so much knowledge, we learned a lot about history and culture, but also about modern life here All tecom for this team, organization was perfect - just enough walk not to make it difficult and just the right amount of drive in every moment when it was needed When you're in Shanghai take this 5 hours tour and you will be fascinated how flawesly this is imagined and implemented.
Great, efficient, afternoon tour. Kalvin did a good job explains sites of interest. The stops were interesting.
