Amazing tour of Shanghai - Our guide Troy was very knowledgable and the car was very clean. The sights of Shanghai were lovely and beautiful. We saw everything we wanted to. The dumplings we had for lunch were delicious. We learned a lot about Shanghai and China. Well worth the money. Thank you

Three Generations in Shanghai. - My father, me, and my nephew had great time taking this one day city tour with Apple as our tour guide. She is very friendly, informative and has excellent photo skill. Closing the day by taking a picture of us, three generations between three highest buildings in Shanghai Financial District. She is indeed one of the best guide ever.🙂

Private one and half day tour: Shanghai Highlights and Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town - My family and I had an amazing guided tour given by Peggy. She's extremely knowledgeable and was able to communicate with my parents in Shanghainese which was a plus. She was attentive to my elderly parents and made them feel especially taken care of.
It's my first time in Shanghai and after the highlighted tour on the first day, I felt like we got to see a lot of what the city. has to offer. Jenny was very responsive and I appreciated the flexibility of arranging our tour to our specific needs. I would highly. recommend this tour to friends and family especially. Peggy our wonderful tour guide. Thank you again for such a great experience.

Best tour I have ever experienced! - I had to book a very last minute tour in Shanghai because of a cancelled flight. In a moments notice Jenny’s put together a city tour that was the best I have ever experienced! Apple, our tour guide, was simply the best! Such a happy person and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for tour in Shanghai.

A five star experience - This tour and experience is a must. Prior to the tour, Jenny provided excellent communication and provided a detailed itinerary for our day. A day before we received a reminder for the tour with information contacts for our tour and guide.
Apple met us at our hotel with a driver. Throughout the day she helped us with pit stops to buy tea, purple clay tea pots, silk and connected us to a custom tailor.
It was an incrediable day and would love to do more tours with Jenny and Apple

Spectacular tour! - This visit to Shanghai was spectacular! Peggy picked us up at the lobby of the hotel with a first class car and her driver. Being a private tour you have the flexibility to choose where you want to go, we preferred the places she recommend. We visited Yu Yien, Bund, Buddha, lunch with dumplings in a restaurant for locals, the French area, among others. Peggy, besides having an excellent pronunciation in English, being very attentive and friendly, knows every historical and artistic detail, adding a great plus to the visit.

Amazing personalized way to see so much in one day! - Our tour around Shanghai was amazing!! Our guide Peggy was super personable and knowledgeable, and she customized the tour based on our interests and what we’d already done in Shanghai. We did the driver option which made the day relaxing while we still got to see lots of the city. Communication with Jenny from booking to tour day was great. Definitely a highlight of our trip and a great way to see highlights of a city we can’t stay in for long. Can’t recommend this tour group enough!!

Excellent Francophone Guide in Shanghai - Our 24-hour stay in Shanghai was developed from scratch by Jenny. From the reception with private driver at the airport until the next day at the same airport always accompanied by the same driver.
Our Guide during the evening (river cruise) and all day the next day was Julie. Although she had never been to France, she was fluent in French. She is able to pass on her vast knowledge of China, both historically and artistically. Particularly attentive to our well-being and our health, Julie introduced us to the local gastronomy in typical but quality restaurants.
The short duration of our stay in Shanghai left us hungry and it is with pleasure that we will return to this city with the help of Jenny.
