Wonderful time with Kevin! We took advantage of our long layover in Shanghai and booked this private tour, and it was the best decision ever! Kevin was super knowledgeable about Shanghai and he was very accommodating to our needs. The team, Kevin and the driver, made it very easy to get around Shanghai in a very comfy vehicle. I would recommend this private tour to anyone as you can personalize the tour to meet your needs with a wonderful tour guide. I cannot thank Kevin enough for this great experience in Shanghai!

Communication beforehand with the tour operator was very clear and easy and they even offered to organise a German speaking tour guide. At the airport we were picked up by a driver who brought us to the city center where we met our fabulous tour guide Sarah! She did a great tour with us during late afternoon/evening though Shanghai. She explained a lot and gave very useful information. She also had the best photo stops for us. 10/10 would recommend this tour!
