My teenage son and I had an excellent time all around with this experience! Sunny was a great communicator from start to finish, the driver was patient and helpful, and Annie was an excellent guide who shared so much information and her perspectives with us! We had limited time, but filled it well! Also, the team went above and beyond, helping us to find a personal item left behind on the plane, making multiple calls in Chinese to help us sort it out! I recommend this tour very highly!

We had the Shanghai Private Tour with Sammi as our guide.
Sammi was excellent. She explained the history of Shanghai very well and had a delightful sense of humour. She also showed great knowledge and her English was perfect.
We would highly recommend her to others.
Regards, Kelvin and Paul.

It is a very good option to get to know the city when you have to make a long stopover. It gives you enough time to get a good idea of the city. The service is wonderful and punctual. Our guide was Anie and she was wonderful, she was our companion all day and made everything very easy for us. We took a very nice memory thanks to her of a city in such a short time.
