We had the most amazing tour in Shanghai with Sammi! She was so knowledgeable and fun. My kids (17 and 20) were engaged and had a great time. We started our tour at Shanghai Tower. Then we went out Old Town and afterwards to Xintiandi. It is a must do in Shanghai!!!

Wonderful Suzhou Day Trip by train
We had a wonderful day trip to Suzhou. The tour started with hotel pickup, and then we took the high-speed train to Suzhou. The train ride was very fast and comfortable, only about 25 minutes.
Suzhou is a beautiful ancient city and very well preserved. We visited one of the most famous classical gardens, enjoyed a boat ride, saw the ancient city gate and the Grand Canal, walked along the old street, and also experienced a rickshaw ride. The food was also very delicious.
A special thanks to our guide Lin. She was very patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She took great care of us throughout the day and made the tour very smooth and enjoyable.
This tour is highly recommended!

Had such a wonderful morning walking around the historic buildings, starting from the French Concession and ending at People’s Square, while savouring many types of breakfast that locals enjoy. I was lucky to have Jim as my guide, who explained the history behind the places we passed along the way. The restaurants and food stalls he brought my group to were hidden gems not mentioned in the usual travel guides.
I would recommend this walking tour to those who want to learn more about the history of Shanghai while enjoying local food delicacies.

Absolutely lovely experience
This experience was lovely and absolutely customised till the very very T. My guide Elaine was knowledgeable and very precise about each and every place that we went to. Since I was travelling solo it almost felt like traveling with a friend and she was very considerate and warm too. They were flexible enough and were able to get me an experience with authentic dimsums, tea and help me figure out some other things on my go to list. Very highly recommend Elaine and Vaitor.

A lovely day with my guide, Miao. Super nice, extremely knowledgeable and interesting It is quite a long day, but the bullet train is fune and it is good to see a bit more of ordinary Chinese life. The southern wall is a little underwhelming, I found the old town walk much more interesting and enjoyable. It is quite expensive for what it is, but I had a lovely day.

We had a great experience exploring Shanghai with Snow! Her expertise allowed us to fully explore and enjoy all the sights even with challenging weather. My father and I would highly recommend this tour if you would like to see the sights of Shanghai.

A Must-Do Tour!
This was an amazing tour that I highly recommend, and our tour guide Queena was outstanding! I learned an incredible amount about Zhujiajiao and Shanghai from Queena, and she was very accommodating, thougful, and considerate of our group's interests thoughout the tour. We saw many breathtaking sights, learned a vast amount about the culture and customs, had delicious food, and listened to beautiful local music. This is a must-do tour for travelers to Shanghai!

No regrets
This was a worthwhile excursion to go on; both a cultural and architectural gem. No regrets going on it with a day to spare in my Shanghai visit. Xin was a fantastic host, best photographer, knowledgeable Abbas passionate about old Chinese architecture. I’d do a different tour with her. Our ride from Shanghai was superb, the car clean. And Wuzhen: Magnifique!🥰

We had a perfect evening. Kalvin was the nicest person and shared so much interesting information. Everything was well organised and on time. The company kindly accommodated our request to do an earlier dinner before the cruise since we had kids. The dinner was delicious and something we would have never found or experienced on our own. We will definitely request Kalvin for any future tours in and around Shanghai. He is the most reliable and trustworthy. We are so happy to have found a wonderful tour guide, Kalvin’

#Shanghai #NightCruise #ChinaTour #TheBund #Pudong #TravelMemories
Tonight we explored the beautiful city lights of Shanghai with an amazing river cruise along the Huangpu River. Seeing the skyline, the glowing towers, and the city reflections on the water was unforgettable. From historic buildings on the Bund to the futuristic skyline of Pudong, every moment felt like a movie scene.
Big thanks to our guide Patrick for making the tour fun, informative, and smooth throughout the evening.

Professional and pleasant!
Super easy to work with this company. Great communication. No language barrier. They are thorough and responsive. Pick up instructions were clear and the driver was very helpful with luggage and my handicapped mom. Didn’t speak much English but he was very kind.

Great experience - made all the better by my excellent tour guide May!
I was apprehensive about booking a tour guide for a solo day experience in Shanghai, but I need not have worried. May is an excellent tour guide. She was so patient with all my questions and incredibly knowledgable about everywhere we went. I made multiple changes to the original suggested itinerary making this even more impressive. Alana behind the scenes was always attentive ensuring the whole experience went smoothly and our driver was on point. Always close by ready for the next stop. May made the experience so worthwhile I will plan to book a similar tour when I get my wife to come to Shanghai.
