Best Day in Shanghai
Today I went on a walking food of Shanghai tour.
Jade was our tour guide and this tour should be the first thing you do when you arrive in Shanghai.
As a solo female traveller I was a little concerned about being on my own but that feeling disappeared the moment we went off walking to our first location for soup dumpings.
The tour had just 4 of us and Jade our amazing guide.
We learnt the history of the food we were eating and how the food is best consumed.
Our second stop was noodles and a soup with pot stickers and a fried dumpings
3 stop was a local fruit market where we tried fruits I havent heard of before today.
Then the dessert stop, 3 more savoury dishes and then 4 different local desserts.
Jade was so knowledgeable and helpful she even used her didi app to get me a ride home and after 4 hours I needed a nap.
Highly recommend you do this tour, you will taste things you would never have tried. So much food we couldn't finish it all. Thank you for a fantastic day Jade.

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.

Shanghai at night
Our Shanghai night tour, including the Old City and the Huangpu River cruise, was absolutely amazing. The city looks breathtaking at night. Tom was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and well-organized. He shared many interesting stories and made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai!

Wonderful Day Tour in Shanghai
Had a wonderful tour in Shanghai with our guide Ruby who spoke great English. It was simply lovely, perfect for any off day you have and you want to explore the city. Also the driver was always minutes away from our drop off points, very VIP. Highly recommended

Ideal Tour and Experience
The experience was marvellous. Our guide, Snow, was on time, friendly, organized and ready to go. She had us on our way in a pristine and cool van to Zhujiajiao in moments. The tour was informative, beautiful, patient and comfortable. We were never rushed, lunch was excellent and plentiful and shopping a bit with a guide helped us buy some bargains despite the inevitable expense of a place like this. There was no hard sell, no nothing just a fascinating few hours in a lovely and unique place. I rarely say this but it was everything I wanted and expected.

The Perfect Day Exploring Shanghai!
We had a fantastic experience exploring Shanghai with our guide, Fei Fei. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about every place we visited. One of the best parts of the tour was the flexibility—we were able to choose the itinerary we wanted, and Fei Fei also provided alternative options based on the weather.
Having a private car with AC was a huge benefit during the hot Shanghai summer, and the private tour format allowed us to move at our own pace and ask as many questions as we wanted throughout the day. Fei Fei was dedicated to us for the entire tour and made the experience both enjoyable and informative.
Overall, it was a great way to see the city and was absolutely worth the money. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience with the two of us and one guide just for us. Lin was fabulous!
For some reason I was expecting a group tour like I've had in the past, your and your best friend plus 30 strangers on a bus, one tour guide with a microphone, that sort of thing. I did not realize that for this great price you could get a private tour with your very own tour guide just for our twosome! I also didn't realize it would be so complete, with cars at each interval for just the 3 of us to connect us to the next stop, and lunch would be whatever we wanted to order at a wonderful restaurant--it was nearly a banquet. All this was wonderful but the particularly great part of it was our guide Lin. She kept to English for us (my bestie is bilingual but I don't have a word of Chinese) and not only gave us facts about our tour but steered us toward great shopping opportunities, made sure we were comfortable at every step (it was broiling hot), made great recommendations at our restaurant, and was so incredibly kind and welcoming and conversational, it was like we'd made an instant friend. She was so splendid a person to get to know that I would absolutely ask for her again on any and every tour for which she was available. If you are looking for something one-on-one and to eat great food, get this tour, and if you want a terrific person to be your guide do ask for Lin, she's just amazing!

Family trip to Zhujiajiao water town and The Bund
This was one of our highlights in Shanghai. With the help of our amazing guide Xin, we got to experience the beautiful Yu gardens, The Shanghai Tower, The Bund and the Zhujiajiao water town. Xin is just the guide we needed - knowledgeable and generous with information, ensured we captured the moments by taking our photos, patient and caring especially when we needed to take breaks. We had a lovely local lunch at Zhujiajiao water town and the boat ride was amazing. I would recommend this trip and more so - our guide Xin

A Home Run!
This tour of Shanghai with Jenny’s Tours was exceptional. My friend had never visited the city and we only had a day to explore so I wanted to make sure he got the most out of our day. Our driver picked us up at our hotel outside of the city (for a nominal fee) and delivered us to Apple, our guide. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about the city whether exploring the Old Town, Bund, French Concession or the modern financial district in Pudong. She knew the best place for authentic Chinese cuisine and we enjoyed a fantastic lunch of dumplings, soup and noodles. My friend is afraid of heights, so we didn’t go up to the top of any of the skyscrapers but instead parked where we could get great photos of them. Since we had some extra time, Apple suggested we visit a fairly new art district, AKE, developed on the site of a former factory, which was really cool and something new to me as a previous visitor to the city. Lots of eateries, fun shops, cool architecture and photo ops there and the perfect way to end our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Apple. And our driver was very courteous and prompt when picking us up throughout the day. He even provided umbrellas for the day when the showers came. Again, I cannot say enough about our tour and for me the key selling point was the option to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel outside of the downtown area. That really helped us save time and be more efficient with our schedule. But once we met Apple, we knew this day was going to be a home run, and it was! I highly recommend this tour by Jenny’s Tours.

Excellent time spent.
Really a nice experience. We got a guide named Michael who spoke excellent English. He can also speak several other languages like Japanese too. The pace of the tour is leisurely, you get some history, some culture, a chance to eat or snack with some of the local delicacies. Really enjoy our trip to this little town that seems to preserve life as it was 100 years ago.

We loved the boat ride down the river. It was so beautiful. There was a light rain that made it even better.
The Tour of the garden was amazing. We loved hearing about all the history and it was so beautiful.
Highly recommend this tour.

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.
