Linda was our guide. Great person to hang out with for a few hours. Knowledgeable accommodating adaptable to our changing needs. Everything was easy because she knows her way around town. Her English is great which was a blessing. Totally recommend the experience
Everything was perfect, Feifei and the driver were excellent!!! She is very knowledgeable and passionate and provided me with the great experience. I hope to come again, but for at least a week 👍🏻. Vlad, Sydney
you can fit a lot into an 8 hour tour of Shaghai, but do a little research and decide what things you want to see and do. Rather than trying to do or see too much enjoy a few places. Our Guide Linda was amazing with her knowledge of the place and her willingness to change plans as we changed our minds. Linda adapted to us very quickly and totally understood our motivations and needs. Her choice of sites and places to visit were perfect. She knew where to take us for lunch, that was awesome. The Buddhist Monastery is a must see.
We had a wonderful day exploring Shanghai and were extremely pleased with the experience. Our driver, Mr. Lee, was very professional, punctual, and helpful, making all our transfers comfortable and enjoyable. Our guide, Roy, was equally knowledgeable and kind. He accompanied us with great professionalism and provided us with interesting insights into the city’s history, culture, and traditions. We also really appreciated their attention to our needs and their willingness to answer all our questions. Thanks to them, we were able to discover Shanghai in a more authentic and relaxed way, without having to worry about the organization. It was a fantastic and very well-organized experience, and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai and looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly professionals. A special thank you to Mr. Lee and Roy for making our tour truly memorable!
What an excellent way to spend a stopover in Shanghai. Our guide Robert was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and was very accommodating. The vehicle used was also an added bonus with amazing recliner seats which made the journey to and from the airport so comfortable and enjoyable. Overall would definitely recommend this experience.
With a 14 hr layover in Shanghai, it was great to be guided around the city by an expert. Micheal was both knowledgeable and did a great job of picking up on our interests to make the day unique and special. The luxurious electric people mover was amazing with massage and sun roof for passengers, and an experienced driver who met us at the airport and then with Michael got us back to the Maglev station. Another memorable day in China.
Overall a great experience. We were picked up and dropped back to T1. The tour was tailored to our speed and interests. Robert was our tour guide, he was knowledgeable, interesting and accommodating to our requirements.
We had a wonderful day with Feifei. She was knowledgeable and engaging . She always made sure we were doing what we were interested in and planned a great day for us.
