Perfect Day Trip in Shanghai - Stayed an extra day with some coworkers in Shanghai, and this was the perfect way to spend it. Got to see so many incredible sites, but traditional and modern and got a great sense for the city. May, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and open which only added to the experience. I would recommend to anyone visiting the city for the first time!

A Dream Day in Shanghai - Caroline was absolutely spectacular. She customized the tour to what we wanted as we went (including a trip to Starbucks that we very much appreciated). We take a lot of private tours and tours in general around the world, and Caroline was one of the best. Showed us the beauty and culture of Shanghai and the water city all in one day! Highly recommend this tour, Caroline, and our amazing driver (don’t know his name)!

A perfect way to see the city! - I loved my tour, they were able to customize it to my needs and what I wanted to see in the city. I was picked up in a private car and driven to all of the sights.
Extremely pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide! Would highly recommend Carioline! She took me out for lunch and was able to try things that I probably would not be brave to order myself. She assisted me in buying personalized fans for my daughters from a local artist and was treated to a tea!

Lovely Day Trip - We were assigned Mary and she was very experienced and could share a lot regarding the places we visited. She was also very accommodating with our requests, as I was traveling along with a young child. Our driver was very polite, ana we never had to wait long for pick up. His car was first class. Clean and well prepared with water and tissue.
