A great way to cover beautiful Shanghai with a specialised local tour guide!

Published on Feb, 2025

We were very lucky and privileged to take this tour on Chinese New Year. Jane looked after us superbly, adjusting the itinerary to help us get a real taste of Shanghai amongst the mayhem and a bit of rain. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to bustling old town Shanghai and Jane led us through the crowd covering a lot of ground. We made the call to avoid the lines at Shanghai Tower which disappeared into the mist anyway and we went to the Jade Buddha temple instead. Jane gave us a very in depth explanation of every aspect. We were driven to the French Concession and enjoyed a picturesque walk through before we were driven to an amazing Shanghai dinner!! Finally we were dropped off at the ferry terminal which we would never get through without Janes help… the river cruise was spectacular and the VIP tickets with oolong tea and snacks made the experience even more special. We bid Jane farewell and rode back to our hotel in our luxury vehicle. What a way to introduce ourselves to the vibrancy of beautiful Shanghai!!!

a lovely day in shanghai

Incredible Shanghai

Published on Sep, 2024

I really loved how knowledgeable my guide, Xin, was. She was incredibly friendly and intelligent. We went to the Yu gardens ,and to Chinatown, and to a beautiful observation deck and dinner a walk along the balloon and finally a wonderful trip on the river. If you are thinking of taking this trip, I suggest you do. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I only speak a little Chinese and having somebody that was fluent and knew the city made me feel so confident. Did I mention you should do this? :)

Wonderful service

Published on May, 2024

Before the tour even started, Alana, the tour coordinator, got in contact with us to check if we had any particular requests and to make sure the tour was perfectly adapted to our requirements. This was extremely thoughtful and helpful and after a short discussion we moved the tour start 1 hour earlier to make sure we could visit the yujuan garden, effectively increasing the tour time by 1 hour without any extra charge. Our taxi driver, Miss Cheng, was on time and lovely. Our guide, Charlie, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was very interesting and well organised, with almost no waiting time inbetween activities. The food was lovely and there was more than enough to feed everyone despite some of us starving because of the jetlag. Beers were included. At the end we finished the day with a boat ride. The boat was crowded so the tour operator upgraded us to the VIP aera of the boat. This was a lovely touch to finish the day, the boat ride was wonderful and we now leave this place with beautiful pictures. The hotel pickup and drop-off was very important for us and we are glad they could provide it as our hotel was quite far out of town. 10/10, excellent day and excellent tour. Wonderful experience. We could have not experience as many things just by oursleves.

Excellent tour with our...
