Short Notice Shanghai tour during layover for Cruise Ship. - The Guide and the driver were excellent. We visited the Segments of Old Shanghai , with history. We visited then Bund and Jade Buddha. Was very beautiful . Got many amazing pictures. We were in constant contact with tour company from the time of tour confirmation via WhatsApp. The guide was waiting in the lobby for pickup to our hotel and the tour was very coordinated in terms of drop off and pickup. Top notch private tour for my wife and myself. On short notice. Knowledgeable, polite and organized.

Queena was amazing!!!!!! - Queena was an amazing guide - I only had a 6 hour layover and we managed to get all of the highlights of Shanghai in. I would definitively recommend this tour for anyone visiting Shanghai, whether it is for a layover or if you are spending longer here

Great customized tour in Shanghai - This was a great experience. We highly recommend this tour! The tour operator, Alana, provided very timely communication and excellent follow-ups to ensure everything was great. It was indeed. Snow, our tour guide, did an excellent job, same as our driver in a very nice car. We had just 4 free hours in Shanghai prior to our flight back to the USA. We went to the Jade temple, the Yuan gardens and the French Concession. In all of them, Snow gave us very nice insights, historic explanations and super friendly commentary. She was great, very professional and friendly. My wife and I really enjoyed this private tour and if we have the opportunity to get back to Shanghai, we'll look for Alana and Snow again!

Personalized Tour of Shanghai - I had a few hours to explore Shanghai at the end of a work trip. I was excited to see a flexible tour that would allow me to see the highlights of the city! My guide, Kalvin, was knowledgeable on the history of the city, culture, easy to understand and very accommodating with my questions! I learned a lot and left feeling like I had a better understanding of the city. I would recommend Kalvin for future travelers!
