Had an enjoyable experience with the guide (Judy) and the driver (Zhou?) around the city and the water town. They shared numerous experiences and fun facts of the city; and even recommended me to visit different places. Highly recommended if it’s your first time to Shang hai!
Lovely and well thought out tour. Our guide manoeuvred the crowd and the heat of Shanghai summer skilfully. Pick up was on time, and provider was easy to communicate with
My guide Xin was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went at a good pace and saw everything. Lunch was delicious. It was very hot day but car was cool and water was provided. I would highly recommend this tour.
