          Good service and itinerary
          We (couple) booked this during our very limited time in Shanghai, so despite the poor weather anticipated (typhoon/ storm level rain) proceeded with the day tour to see the highlights. We appreciated the service of our guide, Roy, and our driver even more given the less than ideal sightseeing conditions. The driver was extremely accommodating to ensure our comfort as much as possible. We were not able to go to Shanghai Tower due to the weather, but we went to all of the other planned stops and Roy honored some of the customizations to the itinerary we had requested in advance in addition to adding a stop to make up for the tower closure. The weather really was horrible, but Roy braved it with us and was very knowledgeable in answering our questions and understanding our interests. My one recommendation for the tour company is to make clear that the ticket/entrance fees for the guides themselves are also not included if you choose the option to buy your own tickets. We were caught off guard when we were buying tickets to Yu Yuan Garden and Roy let us know we also needed to purchase his. I’ve not encountered this before.

          Fantastic Tour
          This was a special, memorable tour providing a window into a time in Shanghai that most people - Jewish, non Jewish, and Chinese - would otherwise be unaware of. Annie met us at the hotel, and after 3 weeks touring China, we immediately recognized her enthusiasm, friendliness, and great command of English. This was matched with her deep knowledge as she took us through the ghetto, the museum, and the Bund/Peace Hotel. It was fascinating to hear her perspective as we learned about the story, conditions, and plight of the 20,000 or so Jews, mostly from Austria, welcomed by the Chinese, which allowed their lives to be spared. Most left before 1949, and their story has come back to light in this fascinating museum, and through the eyes of our passionate and truly wonderful guide Annie. This is a must see in Shanghai for everyone.

          A great taste of Shanghai
          Everything went so well during this tour even though it rained during part of it. My guide, Kalvin, listened to what I wanted to do but also made sure I did a few things that I hadn’t considered but were highlights. He was flexible when I changed what I wanted to do and made sure I had the best time. It was a great tour and made me want to return to Shanghai. The car was comfortable and the driver safe and efficient. It was definitely worth the price. The contact before and on the day was professional and friendly. I highly recommend this tour operator if you visit Shanghai.

          A must see of Shanghai's history
          This is a great tour touching on an oft overlooked piece of history for both the Jewish people and the Chinese people. Sunny is great at reviewing this history through tours of the Jewish museum and its collection. Along with walks through the 'bund' area of Shanghai, finishing at the harbor/waterfront. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it highly to anyone, whether Jewish or not!! It enlightens historically the period of pre WWII and WWII just how much China stood up for basic freedoms/dignity when the rest of the world didn't

          Must do if you are in Shanghai
          This tour is a must if you like to shop. Shanghai is a marvelous city to shop , and Sunny knows the best places to go. She’s very professional and nice, and has really good tips and recommendations of where to find good quality. I wanted to buy silk fabrics by the meter, so we went to a fabric market and she gave me very good recommendations of which stall to visit.( a market this big is a bit overwhelming) My only regret is I didn’t buy more , the fabrics that I bought look even nicer and special back home.

          We did the Donghai Bridge the third longest sea bridge in the world. We travel from Shanghai to the Lake district and visit the biggest and busiest port in the world, Yangshan Port. The service was great, very good, driver, very friendly and professional, excellent car (Van). Our guide Emma was excellent, very helpful, with fantastic knowledge, extremely good. We would highly recommend this company to everyone that's travel to in China.
