Best Shanghai day tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Private tour is a way to go, you can see so much in given time. No waiting for other stragglers. It was just me and my wife and pace was just right for us. Having fluent English speaker that will give you informative tour of your visit with private driver that pick you up and drop you off at the site is perfect.

Would highly recommend. In one day saw ancient town plus best sites in Shanghai.

Flexibility and Accommodative Tour

Jenny's travel and team were excellent in terms of flexibility and local knowledge. Our guide, nora, speaks fluent english and provide excellent customer service. Highly appreciate fast response and last minute arrangement.

Private Tour- WORTH IT!

Published on Nov, 2019

My mom and I did a private tour while in Shanghai. The driver and our tour guide met us at our hotel and messaged us when they arrived. Our tour guide, Angel, was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the city and took us to the hot places and historical Shanghai must sees. She was also flexible and personalized our tour by listening to what we were interested in and made adjustments throughout the day to make sure we had an amazing tour. It was SO nice having our own transportation where we could leave our bought goodies and not having to carry them around. Plus, we didn't have to worry about the crowds in the subways. We were only in China for a week, so we needing to squeeze as much in as we could. We also used Jenny's tour company in Beijing. Recommend 100%!
