          Shanghai Airport to City Hotel
          The service was great. Alana reached out to me a day before the trip to confirm all the details. She was very professional and courteous and made sure all my questions were answered. The day of arrival Alana shared Liu’s phone number and they were available on both WhatsApp and WeChat. Liu was right on time and patiently waited as there was delay for my coworker to collect his bag. Car was very clear and driving was very smooth. Overall very happy and great recommend this company

          Suzhou
          Berlin is our guide and she is excellent and very accommodating to our pace of shopping and sightseeing around Suzhou although we are running late on time but she managed to change our bullet train time to a later timing. Very thankful for her patience and understanding.

          The Venice of China
          It was amazing to see a more traditional side of China after modern Shanghai. The place is very clean, and it’s great to see how they strive to preserve its original character! I highly recommend this half-day tour to anyone visiting Shanghai!

          Good way to see most of the must-see places in Shanghai. Guide was very knowledgeable with 30+ years of experience. If you have 1 or 2 days in Shanghai, get a tour.

          Private transfer from Pudong airport to hotel
          We landed at Pudong airport in the afternoon. As expected, the airport is busy all year round. After we exited the arrival gate and walked towards the meeting point, we were happy to see Mr. Liu was there waiting for us. Without any delay, Mr. Liu led us to the car park and we left airport shortly after. The ride was comfortable and Mr. Liu was very helpful.

          Enjoyable Experience
          I thoroughly enjoyed my half-day private tour, and I was glad that I chose an earlier pick up time of 9:00am from my hotel (the bigger tourist groups and buses arrive a bit later). This is a beautiful time of year to visit this charming town, from land and water. Mary was an excellent guide, including historical and cultural information as well as tips on where to shop for the freshest foodie items I wanted to buy. I would highly recommend this tour!

          Suzhou Escapade
          It has been a fuss free and relaxing tour with our very efficient and very knowledgeable guide, Kimi. It’s a great tour and I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Suzhou. Kimi also has very good time management which is important for us to catch the high speed rail.

          Fantastic way to experience Shanghai
          Xin was a fantastic and well-learned guide - knew the best shops for memorabilia, took some great photos, and was all around lovely company. Saw far more of Shanghai in one day than I would’ve found by myself over several days, 100% worthwhile if you’re having to cram a lot into a little time, and is much less stressful. Having transport sorted is a great feature, and the car I was in was pretty swish. All-in-all I’d highly recommend.

          Best experience as ever
          Excellent… I recently enjoyed a fantastic night tour with our guide May, who was incredibly nice and friendly. The river cruise was absolutely beautiful, offering stunning nighttime views, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai. It's a wonderful way to experience the city's vibrant night scene and cultural highlights.

        I only had one day in Shanghai and selected a 4 hr private tour! It was simply amazing. Bella my tour guide and her driver took me to all the sights I wanted to see… to experience Chinese culture in quite a cosmopolitan city! I saw both old and new China, viewed incredible architecture… visited gardens and temples and had time for tea tasting! The highlight was an early evening boat ride on the river that was simply beautiful with all the bright lights. I would highly recommend this activity for anyone with limited time… just book the tour and leave the rest to your tour team! Guaranteed not to disappoint.

        Couldn’t be more happy with this tour. My guide Mary was very knowledgeable and interesting. The car was a clean new electric SUV with a very professional driver. I scheduled with Alana late in the afternoon the day before. She customized it to what I wanted to see and was able to accommodate a change in my schedule to modify the start time. It was actually over 5 hours long and included entry fee to Yu Gardens and a dumpling meal at the end. Highly recommended!

        This was an excellent tour of Shanghai. I requested this tour last meeting In just one afternoon, they were able to organize a private tour with Xin as my guide She took me to the old part of the city and later the modern part. Xin is very knowledgeable about the history of the city and made this a very informative tour and fun tour.

        Xin was a phenomenal and informative guide. We were in a time crunch and had also been to Shanghai five years ago and seen quite a bit already so we presented quite the challenge, but she customized the itinerary on the spot and fit everything that sounded interesting to us into the time we had available. She even found a shop with cooking chopsticks for my brother (which we had been searching for all trip)! It was a whirlwind of a tour but we’ll never forget the time we had!!

        We just had the best private tour with Snow. We learned about the history of Jade Buddha Temple, then went Yu Gardens and saw Chinese New Year decorations and lanterns. Then we went to New Shanghai(Pudong) and walk around the Liujiazui district and saw Shanghai tower and Oriental Pearl Tower. We had great Shanghainese food for lunch. Ended our day walking the Bund.

        Excellent experience, we concluded our trip to Japan with a guided and private tour of Shanghai taking advantage of a long stopover. Alana our contact was very kind and professional in organizing the excursion at the last minute, and Blair our super prepared and pleasant guide, it was like being welcomed and guided by a friend in the city. Shanghai is definitely worth a visit, it's truly crazy! If you have time, do it!

        Had a great half day tour with our guide, Snow. She took us to the Jade Buddha Temple, the Yu Market, the Bund and Pudong new area. She demonstrated outstanding knowledge of the city and lots of color commentary. Our driver was also great. Our last stop was lunch at Yang’s Dumplings, which were quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. I can highly recommend this as a great way to spend 4 hours in Shanghai.

        We are two families who had a fabulous time with our guide Snow, who knew just the right places to show us in Shanghai. We had a clean bus and very safe driver and Snow showed us the sightseeing spots we had hand picked. No hussle, no screaming from the kids because we could take as much time as we needed in the specific spots. She was able to answer all our questions and explained every sightseeing spot to us very well. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you again Snow!

        Snow was my tour guide, and she was amazing. I had a morning free before going to the airport to leave, and this worked out great. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me off at the airport, making sure the timing was perfect. Snow filled the experience with plenty of history and details of everything we saw, and even while we were driving between locations she filled me in on Shanghai life. The tour was easy, flexible, and perfect for me to experience a little of Shanghai in the short amount of time I had. Highly recommend!
