We did the this in-home cooking tour with Penny (our tour guide) and loved it!! First we visited a grocery store where locals shop. Saw and sampled some unique foods. From there we went to a lovey gated apartment complex where the cooking class was held at “Shanghai Mama’s” nicely-appointed apartment. We had an incredible first-hand demonstration and hands-on cooking experiences (made dumplings together from scratch) and watched a couple other local cooking techniques. Following that we had a meal together. Hard to match this intimate look at life in the country. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Penny was absolutely wonderful. We walked thru the French Concession area and adjacent neighborhoods and learned alot about the history of China, Shanghai and the current issues facing Chinese living in Shanghai. Penny spoke excellent English and helped us plan other things he to do in Shanghai. She went out of her way to show us how to navigate the subway which turned out to be great way to get around. Overall, Penny deserved a six!!!

We booked a private tour of the French Concession neighborhood and loved it!! Our tour guide Penny was extremely knowledgeable about the history and life in this formerly European neighborhood. We visited historic buildings and also walked through parts of the old neighborhood for additional glimpses of what life was like then and now. We totally enjoyed our day touring with Penny and booked her for two additional tours the following days. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

Penny, our tour guide, was excellent. She’s knowledgeable, very pleasant to be with and well organised. I would recommend her to anyone interested in taking the tour. You will not be disappointed.

"I had an amazing experience, all thanks to Cassey. Though only a morning slot was available, which meant an early start, it turned out to be an incredibly rewarding experience. Cassey’s extensive knowledge of all the places we visited was truly impressive. She was not only well-informed but also made the entire day enjoyable with her friendly and approachable demeanor. She was extremely helpful and flexible, adjusting plans effortlessly to ensure we got the most out of the experience. Her professionalism, combined with a genuine passion for what she does, made the day unforgettable. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide."

Careful planning; Carefully designed; Strive to implement; Customer comes first. The tour guide is interested in Suzhou's local mountains and waters; A grass and a tree; Ming sheng gu Ji; Legends of past dynasties are well-versed and memorable. It is worth recommending to anyone who wants to visit Suzhou.

A true walking nugget of information, Kelly is a guide through and through. We asked her so many questions and she handled them with grace, don't miss up on an opportunity to get local knowledge. Her English is commendable and she is perfectly amiable with uncomfortable questions. Suzhou was a great day trip, well worth while if you are in Shanghai and want a quick escape from the city.

Penny was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She told us so many interesting facts and stories about the city and its history. This tour was an amazing way to get to know really know Shanghai.

We had an incredible tour of Shanghai with our guide, Penny. She was exceptionally thorough and knowledgeable, making our visit to the city both educational and enjoyable. Our first stop was the stunning Yu Garden, where Penny shared fascinating insights into its history and architecture. She then took us to the serene Jade Temple, providing detailed explanations of its significance and the intricacies of its design. For lunch, Penny recommended a delightful spot in the French Concession, where we savored delicious local cuisine in a charming setting. Her suggestions and expertise truly enhanced our experience, making it a memorable day in Shanghai. We highly recommend Penny for anyone looking to explore the city's rich culture and history.

We had an amazing time with our guide Penny who took us around Shanghai. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and had a very good itinerary planned out for us. Definitely recommend doing this tour if you have time in Shanghai!

Ms. Penny met me at my hotel, she helped me craft an agenda, and then we were off on a fantastic, informative, and fun tour of Shanghai. Riding the Metro and walking, I not only saw highlights of Shanghai but learned a lot of very interesting history along the way. Ms. Penny is the definition of a professional guide: knowledgeable, fun, engaging, and she taught me about using Alipay for payments and using taxis in China. I wanted to see an out-of-the-way propaganda poster museum and she not only got me there but she fully explained the nuances of the posters from pre-Maoist times until the present. This was a master class by a true, highly talented professional guide. I absolutely recommend this tour whether you know what you want to see or are looking for tips and suggestions. Ms. Penny is amazing.

We had 2 different guides from this company during our brief business trip to Shanghai. I booked my trip less than 24 hours before our arrival, for a tour on Sunday night. Kelly did a phenomenal job communicating and setting up our guides that met us at our hotel and traveled the city with us. The guides were both very personable, sophisticated, and knowledgeable and were able to show us the innermost parts of the city and culture. Money well spent!

Huge thank you Judy! My lovely guide Judy gave me a great taste of beautiful Shanghai in 4-hours with a great combination of old & new sights of the city, explaining all the highlights with her great energy & best tips to make my short business trip a great experience throughout. Highly recommended if you want to explore the city as per your interest but without language barrier and saving time while seeing the top spots. I would recommend Judy to anyone visiting Shanghai, actually China as she has great know-how about the entire country. Many thanks Judy, was my pleasure

Penny was extremely informative,her English exceptionally good.Very friendly and interested in her area. Would def recommend

Penny was remarkably knowledgeable about the history if the French Concessiion and made the history come to life as we strolled through. We saw where Nicon signed the Shanghai Communique, the view from 33rd floor of Hotel Okura, other historical landmarks, and the Shikumen residential buildings. Highly recommend this tour!
