Great visit! Amazing guide. - Our guide Snow was amazing, kind, knowledgeable and flexible. We were met directly from the hotel in a very nice and comfortable vehicle and take straight to the water village. It’s a beautiful town with lots of great little shops. Great place to buy pearls and lots of fun opening live oysters to see what pearls are inside. Haggling on non-food items is highly recommended We visited on a Monday morning and felt like we had the place to ourselves, really peaceful and beautiful. Snow made everything incredibly easy. Highly recommend.

Exceptional service, enjoyable tour, highly recommended - Alana’s service was EXCEPTIONAL and I am so glad that I decided to do the tour with her company. I had a big group I was travelling with and many things such as transfers to coordinate and she was always prompt to reply and showing the initiative to provide solutions so that we could do the tour tgt. We took up two tours and both were amazing! Snow was our guide for Zhujiajiao and she was engaging and thoughtful to both the different age groups in the group. I found the Zhujiajiao tour well planned, with sufficient timing to really have a good feel of the place and time to shop and eat without feeling rushed like how some tours might be. The boat ride was lovely and lunch was a hearty meal that showcased many different local dishes. Overall just very pleased with the planning and execution and couldnt recommend more. Alana also helped us set up another short customised tour for yu gardens and can i say that the amount of thought she puts in her planning is commendable. All on a short notice of a day for the 2nd tour. For the 2nd tour she specifically chose a guide who was obviously well aquainted with yu garden and by the end of it, everyone in my group commented that we wouldnt have enjoyed the place as much as we would have without the guide. In fact it was so engaging that we started having random pple following us to listen and we had to make sure to stick close so we didnt lose our own space haha! I will highly recommend Amazing Shanghai to anyone who wants a more in depth experience of Shanghai. Well done

Relaxing day at the Zhujiajiao with Snow - We enjoyed our day with our guide Snow and the driver. She will pick you up from the hotel. The car is very clean and nice. Snow is very friendly and informative. She helped us take good pictures and explain everything. She will recommend you where to find stuff you want to buy with good prices. The boat ride and the garden are very nice. Thank you so much Snow and mr Ma.

Good location for getting out of city but bad tour. - Felt rushed for a private tour and the guide did not add anything I could not see with my eyes. When I booked it only offered 3pm start which worked for me but this made it all rushed for when things were closing and guide kept going on about how we should have booked earlier! I am glad I got out of Shanghai however !
