Great way to “get” Shanghai in a day - Had a very lovely and relaxing day. The whole thing was very professionally setup. From the car, to the driver , to the guide - May. She was excellent at explaining the history of Shanghai and the dichotomy of the architecture. It helped me understand the city so much better. The water town is a very pretty and relaxing place though it is a bit of a hike to get to.

Tour Wasserstadt Shanghai - We were picked up on time, the car was very well maintained and clean. The driver prudently and Caroline the tour guide spoke a very good English, which is not still the case here. She explained everything competently and managed us well. That 100 litres of water per square metre went down today. It's not her fault. But it was a very nice pleasant tour.

See Shanghai in one day! - This was such a great tour and wonderful day exploring Shanghai! We only had one day to enjoy Shanghai, and this tour really streamlined everything and maximized our time—a real pro over larger group tours. The transport was very comfortable and efficient. Not to mention, our guide Xin was so lovely and kind. Plus, she pointed out all the best photo spots and took great pictures for us without our asking. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see and learn more about Shanghai, especially on limited time!

Excellent experience! - We booked this tour via tripadvisor, with Alana‘s company. Alana did send all relevant information about the meeting, the tour guide‘s name one day prior via email.
For this tour, Kiki was our tour guide. She is a very smart, caring, helpul and extremly knowledgeable tour guide.
Because of rainy weather, she suggested to change part of the tour. She gave us several options to choose from and let us pick what interested us the most.
Throughout the whole day, she gave us all relevant information and told us everything we were interested to know.
She helped us even getting umbrellas, and even held them for us when we needed our hands to be free in between. She was always happy to take our prictures and she took them very well.
All entry tickets were taken care of and we never had to wait in line. She was always in touch withe the driver to pick us up after each stop and we never had to wait for the driver.
We chose to have dinner instead of lunch and she gave us some great recommendations and was happy to change the restaurant again quite last minute. Thanks to Kiki we had a wonderful tour experience in Shanghai and only can great recommend Kiki as a tour guide. Her English is great as well and easy to understand.
Thanks also to the driver who drove excellent and very careful at all times. He always found great drop off and pick up points. Again, thanks Kiki for a really memorable day together in Shanghai!

Wonderful tour, flexible options, highly informative - We had a fantastic tour with Mary who gave us a lot of interesting background information for every site we visited. Our tour encompassed the new developments in Shanghai along with the well-preserved old town and a trip to the beautiful 1000-year old water town of Zhujiajiou, where we had lunch by one of the iconic bridges overlooking the canal. We managed this all in a day, and as our layover was 22 hours, we requested an extra stop off (which they accommodated with ease) at a very good Japanese spa, 30 mins from the airport, which was really relaxing and good preparation for the 11 hour flight back.
Overall the trip was excellent - good communication with the organiser and transport with a friendly driver in a very comfortable Tesla. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Five stars!

In-depth understanding of Chinese culture - I had this private tour with my mom in October when the weather in Shanghai was just moderate and well. Berlin, our guide, has been informative throughout the tour, giving us ample information about Shanghai with reference to the cities nearby. This tour made us understand more about Shanghai and appreciative of Chinese culture. Really like this guide and recommend this tour! And one more thing, if you come to Shanghai raining, no worries, the landscape of Shanghai raining is also superb! Winky~~
