A beautiful day in Shanghai! - Don't look a professional camera expert tour guide, but this worth more!
Alana and Mary arranged us a tailor made tour day with a private driver to see and learn about this amazing city.
Alana helped me choosing the best places for photography and Mary was on of the best tour guide I ever had! So full of knowledge and patience, she know how to balance the history and the stories, while giving a space for taking photos in every place.
No matter if you are a photographer or not, this tour is a MUST!

Garden, temples and The Bund - It was a very insightful and inspiring tour. May is very knowledgeable, patient and cheerful. I enjoyed every bit of it while learning a lot. I love reading Chinese culture and it was brought to life by this tour! Thanks to your company and most specially to my able tour guide, May, and our very reliable driver.

Great Tour for anyone - photographer or not! - Our tour guide, Lang, had good English and was very knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. We were emailed before the tour with suggestions of places we could go so she knew what our interests were. Our driver met us promptly after each place we visited. Yu Gardens were beautiful. We walked streets in Old Shanghai, visited several temples and other interesting parks and buildings. It was a great way to get around and see different areas of Shanghai. I do like to take photos but it wouldn’t matter if you didn’t. The guide is not a photography expert.

Highlight of Our Trip! - I did the private 4-hour photography tour with Charlie. He was incredible! He picked me up at the hotel, then we set out on our tour in a clean, nice van with a super nice driver. We visited Yuyuan market & garden, the former French Concession, the downtown skyscrapers including the Oriental Pearl, Xintiandi, as well as through some of the Old Shanghai alleyways. Charlie isn't a photographer, but he knew all the great locations for the best photos. My favorite photos were from the Yuyuan garden & the French Concession. If you're considering this tour, definitely do it. The tour was at the perfect pace (not too slow, not too fast), and I know that I saw much, much more than I would've been able to see on my own.

The tour started promptly and we went... - The tour started promptly and we went to all the destinations that we had arranged the day before. It was well paced and I was able to take in all the sights and experiences of each location. A particular highlight was at Fuxing Park and interacting with the locals. It was such a great feeling. It was fortunate for us that there was an unveiling for a new relic at the Jade Buddha Temple and we were able to view it albeit from a distance. We were very privileged. The Jade Buddha itself was also incredibly beautiful and I really enjoyed the view of the temple. After that we went to Yuyuan and to be walking around there after the bustle of going through the bazaar was a relief. It was a classical view of a chinese garden that I really enjoyed. Alana and her driver also took me for a wonderfully amazing lunch which was an experience in itself! And lastly visiting the Bund again was great. The photos that Alana took for me are memories and no selfie could capture those moments. I wish to thank her and the driver (I’m so sorry I forgot to ask his name) for their kind hospitality and made it a wonderful and comfortable tour or Shanghai. I would not hesitate to recommend this for my other friends who may be visiting Shanghai.

4 hours private layover tour with alana - I love Allanas tour service. As we agreed on they picked me up on the hotel lobby and talked about the tour flexibility and setting things on my own pace. Since i only have limited time on my layover i wanted to fast track and get good photos to the most important places in shanghai. Allana is all you can ask for on a tour like this, shes very professional, informative and most of all takes very good photos of me on every tourist site we go to. I recommend this more than 5 stars.

Beautiful Immersion Into Shanghai - Fantastic service from the team that started when I found I had accidentally organised for the wrong date - immediately rearranged and a guide came straight to my hotel.
My guide, Berlin, was great - took great care to understood what I wanted from the tour and tailored it accordingly and made it really personal. Berlin’s English was superb and great level of information whilst still making it feel relaxed as if you were out with friends. Berlin also gave me some fantastic tips and advice for the rest of my trip.
The tour itself was fantastic - saw so much more than I could have ever seen by myself with a car on hand.
Highly recommended if you are either wanting to get to grips with the city quickly or are only in town for a short visit.
