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
