Layover oltour on the way to Australia - Our tour guide was Kalvin, who was very kind and with great knowledge about the area and the Chinese culture. The driver was punctual, everything went smoothly as planned. Food was great, especially enjoyed the local food market in the morning. We were suffering from the jetlag, but definitely much better to spend the day in the city rather than just sitting at the airport waiting long hours for tne connection flight.

With Queena we saw all the must see attraction. She was really informative, I learn lit of history on my tour. She answered all my question. We also taste som traditional food as buns, dumplings and some sweet stuff. Also, Queena is the best private photographer as well.

Great 4-hour layover in Shanghai! - I was positively surprised by the nice driver picking me up at the airport in a Tesla, taking me efficiently to my tour guide Kalvin. Kalvin gave me a best-of 2.5 hours tour. He is very knowledgeable and has annecdotes for virtually every building you‘ll see. Alana has been very responsive in organizing. All in all, definitely worrh the money.

Great use of 8 hours in Shanghai! - I had a layover of just over 24 hours in Shanghai and it was very simple to be granted a visa free tourist transit at Shanghai airport. My airline had notified the Chinese authorities in advance when I checked in - I'm not sure if this was necessary but the advice online was a little confusing so I wanted to be better safe than sorry. I had a hotel booked and a confirmed flight out of Shanghai which the Chinese immigration officials asked to see. I had booked this trip in advance and the communication and planning was excellent. No problems at all and I was greeted at the airport by my driver. The car for the day was very comfortable and there was WhatsApp communication available in English with the tour organisers at all times. I felt safe in Shanghai, despite travelling alone and knowing no Chinese! My tour guide Queena was amazing - I managed to see so much more of Shanghai than I thought possible in the time. Queena had great knowledge of the places we went to and I learned a lot. The tour seemed very flexible and efficient. Even though the weather wasn't the best, this was a day well spent and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perfect layover tour - It was awesome! Our tour guide Snow was such a lovely woman. She took care of us and respected us for everything we wanted so see and the things we didn’t want to see. We saw a lot of Shanghai in such a short time. We can really recommend!

Layover tour in Shanghai - Had a 15 hour long layover in Shanghai, so we booked this tour to pass the time. It was a great experience. It allowed us to stretch our legs, while discovering the beautiful city of Shanghai. I would recommend getting an e-sim card that works in China. This way we were able to be in permanent contact with Alana, who gave us clear instructions about obtaining the 24 hour visa free pass in China from the airport and then meet our driver there. After that, we were taken into the city, where we met Xin, our guide. The tour was tailored to our needs, and Xin took us to see many beatiful spots in the city. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Shanghai. Great experience, highly recommend it!

Best way to spend a Shanghai day - The whole experience was nothing short of amazing. The Yu garden was breathtaking but the whole city was beautiful. Our guide Queena was so fun and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around the city. Oh and the food that she took us for was so delicious!! Overall we had the best day, and want to thank everyone involved.

Unique enriching experience in Shanghai - Indeed an excellent experience and format for a quick overview of Shanghai. It gave us a unique sense of this great city with its combination of old and new, Western and Eastern, traditional and modern. One of the most memorable travel experiences ever. The company's customer service was outstanding. Our guide, Madame Xun made our short stay unforgettable.
