Memorable visit to Shanghai, Suzhou and Tongli - Before we arrived in Shanghai, Sasa, our tour guide had already made contact with us via WeChat which made us really look forward to our holidays and felt welcomed. She is friendly, knowledgeable and very accomodating and made sure that we are comfortable with the hot weather. She is really good in taking lots of beautiful photos for us. The highlight for me was that she has bought a birthday cake for me and delivered to my hotel on my birthday which was so touching. We really enjoyed our short stay in Shanghai especially to Tongli where Sasa brought us to the historic places and we got to experience the ancient water village. Will definitely recommend Sasa for her great customer service and friendliness.

Shanghai - We had an amazing time in Shanghai. Our personal tour guide was Mary and she was amazing. Mary’s English language was great. Mary showed us all the sights that we wanted and gave us the history of the areas. Mary was very considerate to our needs. Definitely recommend.

Old and new blended majestically - Possibly the most beautiful modern city in the world. Embedded in an ancient civilisation which is thriving today. Our private guide Martin made us fall in love with Shanghai. Knowledgeable, kind, always available to help without being invasive. Thank you Martin.

amazing city + excellent guiding = wonderful finale for our China tour! - Shanghai has been our last stop in our 15 days China tour. We spent 3 amazing days visiting this wonderful city guided by Martin, one of the most professional and proactive guides we have had in China. Thanks to him: - we spared the 3h line wait for the Shanghai Tower and went directly to the luxury bar at the top where you can enjoy the same view in a much more relaxed ambient while taking a drink. - we went to the historic Dumpling restaurant in the old town where we tasted a variety of dumplings we could have never imagined. - we were introduced to unique places for shopping. - we enjoyed all and every of Shanghai highlights we visited with detailed past & present explanations, curiosities and anecdotes. Shanghai is INCREDIBLE! well worth a 3 day visit. Most of its history is now well hidden below the super-modern look, ensure to get a well-informed professional guide!! Old Town walk by night is a MUST. Ancient Water town definitively NOT TO MISS. Leave at least half day for shopping, or strolling around.

Private Tour Shanghai and Suzhou with Elaine - Shanghai was the last stop of 5 on our private tour of China. In Shanghai our guide was Elaine. She met us on time at the train station (arriving from Hangzhou) and conducted the tours over the next two days to the Shanghai Museum, Yuyuan Garden, the Bund, cruise tour on the Huangpu River, Tianzifang, and a visit to Tongli Water town. We arranged to be dropped off at the cruise ship pier, which was a challenge, but she handled it very well. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks Elaine and China Travel Guide tours!.

Best way to end our 10 Day Tour! - We visited Shanghai as our last stop for 2 nights and 3 days as a part of our 10 day tour through China using Travel China Guide. Our guide, Kris Lee, and driver met us at the airport and took us directly to our awesome hotel in the Yu Garden area. Kris was super friendly, knowledgable, and fun! We traveled with our 2.5 year old which worked out thanks to not only the tour company planning our days around her schedule, but our super awesome tour guide was very understanding and our daughter loved him! Thank you for a trip of a lifetime!

Great Tour of Shanghai and Suzhou! - We had a family tour with a group of 5 of varying ages. Our tour guide Chris Zhao was amazing and flexible to our needs . He grew up in the area and was very knowledgeable of the highlights of the cities visited . It rained the 2nd day and Chris knew what part of tour to substitute until the rain stopped. The van drivers were great too, always on time and navigated the roads and traffic well. The Acrobatic Show is a must! Highly recommend!

Neat place; should have stayed longer - Having now seen several cities, we would recommend spending more time in Shanghai. Our tour guide, Ocean, was excellent. We appreciated his wealth of knowledge, experience in logistics, and presentation/speaking skills. We visited a couple of historic gardens, the "Venice" of China, and the Oriental Pearl tower.

Disappointing guide - Had a day tour of Shanghai and 2 days at Suzhou. Were disappointed by the attitude of our guide. He was mediocre at best, gave superficial explanations and spent a lot of time texting on his cell phone. His favorite statements was- now is your “free time” leaving us alone to explore museums and wander I the streets of Tongi. He acted more as a person who brought us to places and let us figure things ourselves. He seemed disinterested and not engaged. We had to constantly ask him questions for him to explain and inform us. The driver was unfriendly and the only time he approached us was when he was supposed to get his tip at the end of the trip
