A great trip when we first got to Shanghai, not only getting to see some great sights, but also giving us some great ideas to maximise the rest of our trip to see as much as possible in the time we had here. Ruby was a great tour guide throughout, and nothing was too much trouble.
Annie is the best tour guide very knowledgeable and friendly highly suggest! The private car had great air and was very comfortable!
Lea is an excellent guide. We have used her before. Collected from domestic airport and driven for sightseeing, shopping, and lunch and then delivered to the international airport. If you have a stopover this is a fantastic thing to do - nothing to worry about (getting a taxi, or any delays). You will be looked after for the entire stay and see whatever you like. Cannot recommend enough.
The 4hr tour with Michael was fantastic and at then end the dinner was even better with real authentic cuisine. Would highly recommend Michael.
Annie has expert local and historical knowledge. Superb English, the tour very much tailored to your needs. Enthusiastic and so attentive. Thank you!
Perfect experience, thank you to the guide who knows the city perfectly and is attentive and very friendly. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism, and thank you also to the very professional and attentive driver.
This tour is very informative.Our guide Weng was sensitive to our needs and provided historical information.Supported our choices and suggestions were given to enhance these choices. The place selected for lunch was wonderful the food was delicious.
My experience started the day prior with Sunny, confirming all of my information and reservation. Our tour guide, Claire, is truly the BEST! My family and I travel a lot, and by far this has been the best experience that I have had in several years. Not only was she attentive to our needs, but extremely knowledgeable and all the decisions that she made for us throughout the day. Not only did this experience surpasse my expectations, but the level of comfort is one that is hard to explain. She truly was the best and because of her made this entire day for my family, one that we will never forget!! She was even helpful with questions outside outside of the tour that I personally had. Thank you for this experience.
Highly recommend using this your company. We had Wing as our tour guide and she was extremely helpful and kind. She made our experience in Shanghai memorable.
It’s so great to be able to customise the experience, make changes based on weather and what your family is looking for. We toured the traditional temple and garden but then wanted a traditional foot massage and do some shopping. Wing was amazing with knowledge, English and adaptability.
