Great day with Mary! - We had an incredible day with Mary! She was on time and ready to show us incredible Shanghai! This tour is completely worth the price. It’s 2 in one, you get the water city and Shanghai city highlights. Mary took me to the best pearl story and helped me with translation! She also helped me when one of the vendors tried to sell me a magnet for 20 dollars.

Most amazing water town experience with guide Caroline! - Most amazing experience. Caroline was our guide and she did an amazing job in the most personal way possible. She took lots of photos and provided valuable information about the garden and water town. If you can book this with her please do so. We booked this Viator experience and would recommend it. She also recommended an excellent lunch and was very patient in waiting for us to shop and even helped with the many shopkeepers. We have booked three day trips in the US but our experience in China has been beyond incredible by comparison. You can't go wrong here.

Highly Recommended Private Tour in Shanghai - ⸻ If you ever have the chance to visit Shanghai for the first time, I can’t recommend this marvelous private tour enough! Let me explain why… We had the most attentive and thoughtful guide, Ms. Snow. She picked us up from the hotel lobby right on time, and the car provided was spacious and super comfortable. Since it was a private tour, we were able to manage our time efficiently and visit all the places we were interested in, getting to know Shanghai in a deeper and more personal way. We never felt rushed—there was plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Ms. Snow explained everything with such professionalism and insight. This was my first visit to Shanghai, and I totally fell in love with the city—friendly people, a stunning blend of old and new, and a modern vibe that’s truly captivating. I’ll definitely return someday, and when I do, I’ll be sure to ask Ms. Snow for another unforgettable tour.

Exceptional Experience - Alana, the manager, was very helpful in setting up the tour. Snow, our guide, and Mr. Chi, our driver, were excellent and the car was quite comfortable. They made sure to accommodate my special needs. We were able to fully experience the Yuu Garden, The Jade Buddhas Temple, and had a wonderful authentic riverside meal in Zhujiajiao as well as a boat ride through the charming watertown. Warning, there is a lot of walking involved to fully appreciate all these places, and my mobility scooter was of little use in the garden and temple. Snow is very knowledgeable and explained things in easy to understand terms. We are especially appreciative that she introduced us to silk painting, and we were able to purchase a masterpiece from the exceptional artist who produced it. That was an unexpected treat. We were thrilled with Shanghai and owe much of that to our private tour with Snow, Mr. Chi, and the fine company they represent.
