Treated like a rock star. Wow thank you. - Wow the day started by picking us up in this beautiful Chinese all electric luxury SUV with all the amenities that made our ride so comfortable with a wonderful driver and experienced tour guide Roy. Both men made our trip memorable and we always felt safe and cared for. We appreciate that we could customize the tour by cutting short some activities and adding others. The lunch was delicious and memorable and Roy helped interpret the menu for us. The Bund was something so very interesting to see, don’t miss it, even with a drive by. We enjoyed the Watertown area and gondola ride very much. Wonderful job, thank you Roy.

Excellent trip with a... - Excellent trip with a very informative guide. From the moment we were collected from our hotel everything went smoothly and to plan. Both Tongli and Xitang are well worth a visit and provide a real contrast to the bustle and modernity of Shanghai. Mel was an interesting and informative guide she also found interesting local restaurants for tasty lunch and dinner. Well done! Excellent trip thoroughly enjoyed by my daughter and by myself.
