    it was an amazing, activity filled day. We saw and did so much! we got to see tge real china, took tge bulket train, a canal boat ride and a 1200year old pagoda. We would have been totally lost without Roy, our superb tour guide. Totally worth the money. Would highly recommend this activity. Go with Roy. His english is great and he is very knowledgeable about the history of China.

    Xin was an excellent guide. She collected me from my hotel, guided me through the high speed train network and gave an informative tour through the city. The lake was stunning and the tea plantation was gorgeous. The temple was impressive and we had a delicious lunch. Xin then took me back to my Shanghai hotel. A highly recommended experience!

    Annie was the highlight of the trip. We saw old Shanghai and new Shanghai. The tour was highly customizable with our wants. Lunch was delicious. We came away with a broader understanding of Shanghai. 5 stars. 100% recommend. This was a completely private tour; meaning that it was just us and our guide the whole time. VIP the whole way.

    Decent tour with stops at important landmarks. Our guide Michael was awesome, adding stories where appropriate. Good way to get some introduction behind the history of the city. Stop At Silk factory was purely marketing!

    I spent a very enjoyable morning in the company of Ellen, who guided me around the streets of the French Concession and old Shanghai town. 
    I got lost and was late for our rendezvous at the hotel, but luckily Ellen had persevered and was still waiting for me.
    Ellen is a mine of information on the history of the area, and at each stop we made, she would recite interesting historical facts. We made numerous stops along the way, including Fuxing Park, where there is a French and a Chinese garden. Ellen explained how the Chinese garden's design was
    culturally influenced.  We watched groups of retired Chinese who used the park for social activities, including singing and Tai Chi. We also made stops at restaurants to savour local food. My favourite being the pork dumplings. The bike ride lasted about 4 hours, covering quite a few miles and many interesting sites. Afterwards, I was fitter and richer in the knowledge of this wonderful area of Shanghai. I would highly recommend this bike tour, and if you are lucky, you might get Ellen as your guide.

    Suzhou is a beautiful place, with lots to offer. My guide, Berlin, was very knowledgeable and fun. She was also very flexible: when I expressed the desire to change a part of the trip, she helped me figure out alternatives. We opted for the Museum on the history of silk, which was absolutely beautiful and informative.

    Berlin also helped me find my hat, when I lost it at the train station, and was very present throughout the trip.
    I highly recommend ber.

    Fantastic tour. Highly recommend. This was a wonderful way to spend our first night in Shanghai. Jim created a great experience, the food was fantastic and Jim balanced great food with cultural experiences. It was hard to pick a favourite. The tea ceremony was especially interesting. If you come to Shanghai this is a must do!
