Excellent way to get a brief look at Shanghai if you have a long layover. Portia our guide was brilliant- confident, friendly and knowledgeable, with excellent English. A pleasure to spend time with. And the communication from Joy was also spot on. Most highly recommend this provider.

Amazing way to see some city highlights on a long layover and learn a little bit about the history and culture! Perfect option for a tired solo traveler who wants to see the city but doesn’t have the energy to explore themselves - great to have a local who knows the best spots! Would definitely recommend and also book with this tour company again next time I visit! Thank you Portia and Joy for a wonderful glimpse at your beautiful city!

Great experience

Excellent opportunity to take advantage of a few hours waiting at the airport. Michael proved to be a knowledgeable and very friendly guide, who showed us a lot of things in a short time. 4 hours really nice, super recommended to start experiencing the atmosphere of Shanghai
