5 star personal tour Shanghai Highlights
A really personal tailored day tour. Excellent driver and quality car. Extremely knowledgeable guide Peggy who was excellent and provided us with lots of information during the day. She spoke fluent English. A total gem of a guide. Highly recommended 5 star. Jenny's China Tours very good value for money. We will highly recommend to our family and friends visiting China.

Fantastic trip to a beautiful place. Picturesque village, charming garden to explore, nice boat ride, tasty lunch made with local produce and a chance to shop (tea, fruits but also pearls and silk). Our guide, Kalvin, was amazing - his English was excellent, his knowledge impressive, and he made the whole experience even more enjoyable with his friendly and engaging personality.

An Unforgettable Night in Shanghai with Tom
If you’re visiting Shanghai and only do one thing, make it this evening tour with Tom. What an experience!
We spent the night cruising along the Huangpu River with the stunning Pudong skyline lit up before us — absolutely breathtaking. Tom then guided us through the atmospheric lanes of Old Shanghai and the beautiful French Concession, bringing both neighbourhoods to life with stories and insights we simply wouldn’t have found in any guidebook.
Tom is everything you want in a guide: incredibly knowledgeable, wonderfully patient, and genuinely friendly. His English is excellent, making communication completely effortless throughout the evening. He also took us to some fantastic spots to pick up a few local treasures to bring home — and crucially, he knew exactly where to go for the best prices. No tourist traps here!
Shanghai truly is a different city by night, and Tom knows how to show it off at its very best. We came away with memories, a few great souvenirs, and a deep appreciation for this remarkable city.
Highly, highly recommended. Book this tour — you won’t regret it!

Half day tour = perfect duration!
We had an excellent experience with our guide Ms. Yun during our visit to Zhujiajiao near Shanghai. The tour lasted about 4–5 hours, which was the perfect duration to explore the area comfortably without feeling rushed.
Ms. Yun was knowledgeable, professional, and very pleasant throughout the tour. She guided us through the local market and traditional stores while explaining many aspects of Chinese culture and local history. We visited a beautiful private garden, walked around the old town, and enjoyed a relaxing boat ride through the canals.
The tour ended with a very nice lunch, and afterward we were transported back to our hotel in Shanghai in a private luxury car, which made the entire experience even more comfortable and convenient.
I highly recommend Ms. Yun as a guide, as well as the tour operator Sunny. Everything was very well organized and enjoyable.

Old and new beautiful Shanghai
We had a wonderful day with Sami. She showed us both the old city with the garden temple, the view from the top of Shanghai tower, the Bund, the boat trip and French concession. She made an extra mile to help us do the shopping and reserve restaurant. She also left for us things to do after the tour. Highly recommended!

Shanghai Food Discovery
Our Shanghai food tour was wonderful! Our hosts were fun and engaging. The restaurant and food choices were ideal, just adventurous enough to experience true Shanghai street food, but not too wild. The food was amazing, stop after stop. Our seven guest tour was the ideal size, with plenty of food and it culminated with a fantastic muti course feast.
The early rain was not enough to keep us from losing interest in this experience. Excellent tour at a bargain rate, highly recommended.

We had an incredible half-day in Shanghai with Wing! Her knowledge of Chinese history, religion, and the various imperial dynasties is truly impressive and added so much depth to the historic sites we visited. Beyond the landmarks, she organized a wonderful traditional tea ceremony and a fascinating silk production demonstration. We also truly appreciated our candid conversations about life in modern China, which gave us a well-rounded perspective on the country. If you are looking for a guide who is both scholarly and engaging, we highly recommend her

This is a great and efficient way to explore the major highlights of Shanghai if you’re short on time. I was picked up and dropped off directly at my hotel. With 20+ years in the tourism industry, Kalvin was a very knowledgeable guide. I appreciated learning not just the importance of the sights visited but also how Shanghai has evolved into the major cosmopolitan city that it is today. I was also super grateful for Alana’s coordination of the logistics. This tour is a must do!

Awesome day trip to...
Awesome day trip to Hangzhou with Kimi. Entire experience was super well organized and Kimi communicated great across our group of English and Mandarin speakers. Saw many sites within a condensed period and lunch was the best we've had on a tour like this.

Great tour
This was a great tour. Be prepared for a long day as it is 3 hours on the bullet train each way - not 2 hours. So 6 hours of travel plus pick up and drop off transfer times.
Meal is vegetarian. Best to go in Feb for the flowers. Tour guide was helpful and friendly.
Pick up areas are more flexible than the website suggests.

Gorgeous view and learned so much
Our absolute FAVORITE experience in Shanghai! A highly recommended activity! We saw a beautiful view of the skyline and dinner was delicious. We toured with Kalvin, and he was absolutely amazing! If you’re able to, book with him!! He has such a vast knowledge of Shanghai architecture and history, we learned so much! He is very personable and took great care of us, including giving us recommendations for what to do next in the city. He made the experience unforgettable.

A very well organised day in Suzhou!
Kimi was a brilliant guide. The day was well organised and delivered, and Kimi explained everything in English really well. Lunch was also spectacular, so make sure you are hungry! All the vehicles we went in were very clean and organised well, and we really enjoyed seeing so much of Suzhou in one day. Thank you Kimi!

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.
