Amazing day with Caroline - Caroline was amazing we had the most spectacular day. She showed us the gardens in the town, we went on a boat ride, fed the fish, pet cats in a Cafe, and had the best lunch. She had so much history and knowledge to share. We really feel like we are back in history in this gorgeous, ancient town. You cannot go to Shanghai and miss this, it was a 10/10 tour! We are coming back with beautiful photos, epic memories, and full bellies. Thank you Caroline!

Favorite Sights of ShanghI - Troy was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. We saw Watertown, went on a gondola and ate a sticky rice dumpling. The next day we went to see the Jade Buda Temple, the Bund and shopping. Troy had lots of patience. Then we had a wonderful lunch. I tasted different kinds of dumplings. Shanghai has been the greatest experience. Thank you Jenny’s Tours and my wonderful guide Troy! Doris
