Fengjing and Xitang with Penny - This was out last tour during our three days in Shanghai and the best day. Penny was our guide, she told us of the water towns prior to arrival and what was the difference between the two. Fengjing was as expected, not crowded, maybe cause this was a Monday. Great for taking photos, we even visited the Wedding Museum. Xitang was where we stop for dinner and the lights, yes it was more commercial, but the lights are beautiful and walking along the paths and bridges are pleasant and something to see. Penny was personable and we chatted along the way, answered our questions gave us plenty of time to take photos and shop. Penny even help negotiate better prices for us when we shopped. She brought out the adventure in us and tried foods that we had not had before. Penny even step out of her way and reconfirmed our driver to the airport the next day. She is a "GEM". You will not be disappointed in this tour. I only wish we had know of Penny and Shanghai Melody tours, we would had booked our walking tour with Penny such as to French Concession and Tianzifang..

Great evening out! - We were three to join the trip. Our guide Kelly was great! She was very knowledgeable and kept the trip very interesting and personal. She even offered to help out after the trip, in case we had any questions during our further stay in Shanghai. Fengjing was a beautiful small (romantic) town. Xitang was very animated, being there on a Sunday. Loved the experience. The only thing I would say about this trip, is that it is quite steep in price if you are a small number.
