Amazing water town tour experience - I had an amazing time with Fan. He drove us to some beautiful water towns and guided us through them for the entire day, along with showing us the food, the history, and some amazing photo spots.

Highly recommended! - Fan is an excellent tour guide. I had a great tour with him — very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about Shanghai, and he shared plenty of useful tips that really improved my stay. If you want to explore the city with someone who truly knows it, he’s the right person!

Excellent private tour at water towns - Fan Ming is a great guide. He shown lot of interest trying to understand our needs, and eventually organised a perfect day-trip during a long flight stopover we had at Shanghai. We could visit both Jinxi and Zhujiajiao on the same day, in a calm manner and with no stress. Fan Ming knows as well many beautiful places for lunch, tea or just sightseeing… so… book with him! You will have a great time!
P.S.: He is a great photographer! You will get nice pictures 😁

Excellent local and friend at Shanghai - This is much more than a private free tour. Ming is not only an excellent local guide and photographer (for your social networks 😊) He is as well your local friend. He will take care of you and make sure you are happy during your time at China. Book with him! You will not regret!

Amazing tim in Shanghai with Fan - My tour with Fan in Shanghai was truly exceptional! One of the best experiences I’ve had anywhere. From the very first moment, it was clear that Fan isn’t just a guide; he’s someone who genuinely cares about making your time unforgettable.
He knew so much about every place we visited, from famous landmarks to hidden corners of the city, and he shared stories and insights that brought Shanghai to life in a completely new way. What made the experience truly special, though, was that Fan was not just a guide, he became friend 🥹
He was thoughtful, kind, and incredibly patient, while we waited for rain to stop and he also took amazing photos of me throughout the tour, truly some of the best travel pictures I’ve ever had.
If you’re looking for more than just a tour, but a genuine connection and unforgettable memories, I can’t recommend Fan highly enough. He made Shanghai not only fascinating, but also warm and personal.

Have Fun in Shanghai - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10
I had such a wonderful experience with my tour guides, a kind father and daughter team, who truly treated me like part of their family. They went above and beyond to make my stay in Shanghai special. A special mention to Shiyu, who was with me at every breakfast and made me feel so welcomed and cared for - my instant little sister. Their warmth, hospitality, and genuine kindness made my trip unforgettable. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Shanghai—you won’t just get great guides, you’ll gain wonderful friends. Bonus - Fan Ming has some special photography skills. 💙

Superb Tour with Fan which you should not miss - The activity exceeded all our expectations Fan is a brilliant guy with so much energy and knowledge Thank You Fan for accomodating me and my Friends so easily on this great tour Jinxi was so beautiful to see in its original state and Fan helped us navigate this town with so much ease He made us try local delicacies which me and my friend loved and happy to have tried out. Enroute to the Zhujiajao Water town we had a surprising pitstop to watch one of the lovely sunset points in Shanghai which not many people are aware It was calm and serene. Fan then took us to the lovely lit up water town in the evening just after dark and it was brilliant to experience the vibrant Zhujiajao Fan is indeed Your Friendly Neighborhood Shanghai infoman Not only he has a wealth of knowledge about his town but makes it a point to explain and lets his tourist friends experience Shanghai as a local He is 100% recommended and Without him you will miss a part of Shanghai you never would find out about

Double fun on these 2 tours - We booked with Ming 2 tour and both of them were incredible. He brought us to a less known to foreigners water town where you could feel an authentic vibe. On the other day he brought us to explore the city, giving us lots of insight that just a native could have. Moreover, he was really kind to us and gave us so many tips!
A plus? He is an incredible photographer that can capture all the magical moment.
