I had a 9 hour layover in Shanghai, and decided to do a day trip to see as much of the city as I could. My guide Sophie Lee was great! I asked to see what the locals do on a Sunday. Sophie took me to various parks where the locals dance, Tai Chi, gather for gossip, and even match making. Of course I got to see the Shanghai Tower and checked out the view from the second tallest building in the world. I had a great time and look forward to visiting Shanghai again, but for more than just a day.

From the offset Kelly was excellent in communication. She was very patient with my questions and adaptable to what I needed to arrange.
On the day Penny was the guide and she was amazing. She was professional, knew the local area and was also adaptable.
The company went the extra mile and I highly recommend them. I will be using them again.
