👍👍👍👍 - Does not get much better than a tour guide like Ruby. I had a measly 15hr layover in Shanghai so booked in for a solo tour! Well flexible, fun, knowledgeable, we laughed all day and seen all the bits i wanted to see!

Amazing experience - I’m super enthusiastic about this experience. Freya was a very well informed guide which brought my boyfriend and I around the city, exploring the highlights. The driver caught us at the airport and we met the guide in the city centre. The guide suggested us typical dishes, like gyoza and noodles, which were amazing. I suggest everyone to take part at this trip for a short stopover in Shanghai: we spent around 8/9 hours in the city, but you can manage it with the guide.
