Tailored, Insightful, Iconic - Annie gave us a splendid private day tour of Shanghai, where she showed us how the city's architecture and landscape transformed over time. Our tour around the city highlighted iconic buildings. We also enjoyed hearing about the day-to-day life in Shanghai versus other provinces. The tour was perfectly tailored to our preferences, making every moment engaging. Sunny knew all the best photo spots. 💛❤️💛❤️

Shanghai Old and New. A great experince of this fascinating city - Veronica and I did the Shanghai Old and New Private Tour with Lily Zheng as our guide on 14th June 2025. We thought the tour was beautifully constructed taking in the old, temples, jade, silk and tea-tasting, and the new with the transformation of the French concession the lunch in a modern eating place, and the city with clean air, electric vehicles that you feel you can breathe in. We thought our guide was kind, knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with and she really tried to show us everything, help us understand the old and the new Shanghai, and ensure we had a good experience. Unusually in this type of experience she was a good listener who engaged with us, and with our Eupoean/African backgrounds. With the new visa-free transit arrangements for short visits to China this is an excellent way to spend a day in Shanghai and we'd recommend it to anyone looking to understand the contrasts between the modern city and its past. And well worth the price
