Great layover tour
I booked this tour on a 15-hour layover. Due to my flight time I choose the option with 2 way driver to and from the airport. The instructions for pick up were clear and everything ran on time.
The tour guide Lea was fantastic, really knowledgeable and she knew how to adjust the energy and pace of the tour to suit my capacity (after having come straight off a 14 hour flight). Got to visit the main tourist stops of the city which were amazing and the coordination between Lea and and driver ran smoothly all day.
Also Sunny managing the back end was great with communications and check ins.
Overall a great way to explore the city if you have limited time and preparations.

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!!!

Eat like a local
I am 100% happy to have selected this tour. Even before tour began, I had received very accurate and easy to follow instructions on how to arrive to the meeting point from the guide. Being a dinner tour, and having arrived in Shanghai only hours earlier, I was ready for a treat. And that's exactly what this tour was. We visited 5 different establishments, tasting a variety of handmade deliciousness along with local beers, liquors and shots. Everything from dumplings, soup, skewered meat and veg, fruit, desserts to carefully curated samples in our final location - a Michelan rated restaurant. I would never have found or even walked into any of the establishments because I just would never know where to go. We strolled from one location to the next, allowing the food to digest, all while learning all about the ever evolving history of Shanghai, its food and people. The two and half hours went by so quickly and in the end, the guide Jim ensured that all the participants knew how to get back to our accommodations. He helped to order a Didi ride home for me, for which I was very grateful.
This tour is a wonderful introduction into Shanghai and the different foods on offer. It's worth every RMB. Just do it!

LI ZHAOCHEN The Best Tour Guide In Shanghai
They should know that my experience with Li Zhaochen our guide was exceptional and flawless. It started at our hotel which was at least 1/2 hour out of their meeting point and he picked us up. He made sure we had the best experience and that we arrived at our destination Shanghai: Southern Great Wall Day Trip by Bullet Train on time and safe. He was very kind and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience - he helped taking pictures, he gave us the history and customs of the places we visited in addition to the Wall - Taizhou Fucheng was one of them and since it was our first time on the bullet train he even took us out prior to us getting on it so we could video it coming into the station. We had a traditional lunch at a restaurant he had selected and he had listened to our likes and dislikes without us noticing. He had a private room for us with a spread of various custom dishes which tasted delicious and took care of our vegetarian and the person in our group who did not eat chicken nor fish. The food was freshly made and delicious. There was a person who wanted iced tea which they are not accustomed to having and he obtained it for them. He had drivers all set up who were safe and also pleasant. He even had raincoats and water for us. When we finished our tour we wanted to continue shopping and he helped us set up a ride back to the hotel. I cannot fully explain how helpful and enjoyable he made us feel and I know this is not the only tour he guides so if I were you I would ask for him without hesitation! Thank you so much LI ZHAOCHEN . I wish you the best.

A Fantastic Day Exploring Old and New Shanghai
Excellent tour and a fantastic introduction to Shanghai. The itinerary balanced the city’s historic sites and modern districts perfectly. Our guide brought the city to life with informative commentary and local insights throughout the day. The Chinese gardens in Old Shanghai and the tea tasting experience were standout highlights. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch featuring local Shanghai specialties. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the best of Shanghai in a single day.

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!

Recommended Half Day Tour Fro. Shanghai
I would very much highly recommend the Company, “ Amazing Shanghai Trip” and guide Queena. The Company gave excellent information and their contact after booking and before the trip. Queena, my guide was also fantastic. Great knowledge and we had interesting discussions and her English is perfect. I highly recommend the tour, beautiful small town with a lot of history, and very close to Shanghai. I would give 6 stars if I could to the Company and Queena. Thank you.

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.

Amazing tour and even better guide
Michael was the most amazing tour guide we’ve ever had. He is so smart, funny, and incredible at his job; he made sure to make adjustments when needed to get us away from crowds and have a great experience. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Michael! Also we had an incredible driver.

Michael took us to a restaurant where he ordered some authentic chinese food for us to try, and it was delicious! Especially the prawn balls which came out with some dry ice for a special effect!
For booked VIP tickets for the river cruise and i can honestly say it was the best decision ever. The large boat was super crowded in the regular tickets, but with the VIP area, we were lucky enough to only have three other people to share it with. And we had some crisps and a soft drink included. I cannot recommend it enough!

things_to_do
Known as “The Paris of the East,” Shanghai is China's biggest and most prosperous city. Even the locals can’t do it all. That’s why Shanghai tours are the best way to maximize your time. Instead of looking down at a map, let your expert guide show you around sites such as the Shanghai Museum, the Yuyuan Garden, and the Jade Buddha Temple. Or opt for a food tour through the French Concession, a cruise on the Zhujiajiao canals, or even a day trip to Beijing, where you can walk on the Great Wall of China.
