A beautiful day in Shanghai!

Onn H, Oct 2019
Don't look a professional camera expert tour guide, but this worth more! Alana and Mary arranged us a tailor made tour day with a private driver to see and learn about this amazing city. Alana helped me choosing the best places for photography and Mary was on of the best tour guide I ever had! So full of knowledge and patience, she know how to balance the history and the stories, while giving a space for taking photos in every place. No matter if you are a photographer or not, this tour is a MUST!

Great Tour for anyone - photographer or not!

Our tour guide, Lang, had good English and was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. We were emailed before the tour with suggestions of places we could go so she knew what our interests were. Our driver met us promptly after each place we visited. Yu Gardens were beautiful. We walked streets in Old Shanghai, visited several temples and other interesting parks and buildings. It was a great way to get around and see different areas of Shanghai. I do like to take photos but it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t. The guide is not a photography expert.

The tour started promptly and we went to all the destinations that we had arranged the day before. It was well paced and I was able to take in all the sights and experiences of each location. A particular highlight was at Fuxing Park and interacting with the locals. It was such a great feeling. It was fortunate for us that there was an unveiling for a new relic at the Jade Buddha Temple and we were able to view it albeit from a distance. We were very privileged. The Jade Buddha itself was also incredibly beautiful and I really enjoyed the view of the temple. After that we went to Yuyuan and to be walking around there after the bustle of going through the bazaar was a relief. It was a classical view of a chinese garden that I really enjoyed. Alana and her driver also took me for a wonderfully amazing lunch which was an experience in itself! And lastly visiting the Bund again was great. The photos that Alana took for me are memories and no selfie could capture those moments. I wish to thank her and the driver (I’m so sorry I forgot to ask his name) for their kind hospitality and made it a wonderful and comfortable tour or Shanghai. I would not hesitate to recommend this for my other friends who may be visiting Shanghai.

Interesting tour and my guide (Snow) spoke very good English and very accommodating with intersting stories - Thank you Snow for the nice day. However, this should not be labeled as a photography tour as the guide had limited experience in photography. It’s rather a 4-hour private tour of Shanghai.

We were able to see all the highlights...

We were able to see all the highlights of Shanghai. Our guide Alana spoke perfect English and her knowledge of the history behind all the landmarks made the trip extremely enjoyable for our whole family. I would highly recommend this tour!
