Wow experience

At first I thought this was a small group tour, but it turned out to be privet. My tour guide Aries is such a sweetheart. The places we went were absolutely gorgeous and soo unique, I know I wouldn't be able to do it on my own. And we ate at Michelin star restaurant (held a Michelin star 7 years in a raw). Love my tour. And Aries was wonderful.

One of my most favorite days!

I loved my Old Town Discovery & Street Food Tasting with Lynn. Doing this tour with her was like exploring on foot with a good friend. Lynn was so informative and accommodating. Seeing the old Shanghai was pretty special and I loved all the food we tasted along the way. Thank you so much! I was in Shanghai on business and I would highly recommend this tour, I'd love to do it again with my husband and kids.
