Contentful and comfortable experience - There are many old handsome houses to look at, it was 34 degrees, it is very nice to have your own car to move between. Our guide Peggy is amazing, she is very nice and showed us the most and best of her hometown. She arranged lunch - juicy jianbo was the best Shanghai food we have eaten. We are very satisfied.

Great Tour! - The tour guide(Céline) was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about Shanghai's history. We received a FULL day of history, walking, eating, driving and fun! We learned a lot about the city and the area. I strongly recommend Jenny's. We plan to use her services again.

Excellent layover tour of Shanghai! - We had a 11 hour layover in Shanghai on our way home from Asia, so I booked JENNY'S custom tour. Our guide Peggy was fantastic! Her English was perfect, the best of all the guides we had on our 3 weeks in Asia. She met us at the arrivals in the airport and we were escorted in a beautiful car with leather seats and lots of legroom into the city. Highlights were the renovated China town and beautiful bonsai garden, the panorama view of downtown and the Confucius school. I highly, highly recommend Jenny's tours!
