Great tour of Shanghai - We had an excellent day with Kristy visiting many sites in Shanghai, walking, taking taxis and the metro. The highlight was Chinatown which was all lit up in the evening. Kristy was a great guide looking asking us all day and sharing lots of interesting facts about Shanghai. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great Shanghai day - Apple was a great tour guide! She showed up early in the hotel lobby. We changed my tour last minute to include the water town because my flight the next day got moved. You 100% should go see water town if you have time. It is beautiful and Apple got us amazing snacks while there. We went to see the bund and the garden. Highly recommend the tour. The dumplings and noodles were so good! Apple was very knowledgeable. You should go on this tour.

Absolutely brilliant tour of Shanghai tailored to our personal request. - A fantastic time led by professional English speaking guides. Very efficient and flexible to our requests.
We had the best time exploring Shanghai tailored to suit or needs, the personal car and driver were top quality, our guide was Apple a lovely lady very thoughtful and experienced she made the whole tour even more enjoyable.
Having already toured China sights we only had two days in Shanghai so wanted to make the most of our time. We went to gardens, temples and city sights followed by an evening river cruise with a traditional dinner on day one.
Day two, in the morning we went to a park to see where parents exchange information looking for suitable spouses for their children (interesting) then on to one of the beautiful water villages where we walked around the shops and then idled the time away on a gondola.
On our way back we stopped at the theatre to watch the acrobatic show! Don’t miss this they are fantastic and you won’t be disappointed.
We have already recommended Jenny to our friends and family and will definitely be using them again.
Good quality service, secure and safe we felt our tour could not have been better. Very happy😊
Thank you

Fantastic! - We booked 3 full days private tour with Jenny’s Tours. Jenny was fantastic from the Initial enquiry right up until our very last day. Very prompt with emails and happy to make changes for us when requested. We spent 2 days with Peggy in and around Shanghai and the 3rd day with Pan for our tour of Hangzhou. Both guides were fantastic! We felt extremely safe & well looked after every day, they clearly love their job and it really shows! They spoke perfect English and we honestly couldn’t fault anything about our trips at all! Both Peggy & Pan said if we needed anything at all after we’d left them then we were more than welcome to message them on WeChat which was both very kind and reassuring for us! We wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again in future! Thank you Jenny, Peggy & Pan for making our first trip to Shanghai perfect!

Best Shanghai highlights tour - This was a fantastic tour and Alice was an amazing guide. It exceeded all our expectations! We traveled all over the city in a comfortable van with a wonderful driver. Our group of six talked to Alice all day and she knew everything about Shanghai. She took us to beautiful and interesting sites, old and new, covering every aspect of this beautiful city. We would never have been able to do this on our own. We had a delicious lunch at a wonderful “locals” place and appreciated all the bottles of cold water supplied to us on a very hot and humid day. Alice was so sweet and so knowledgeable, we were sad the day ended, but truly thankful for an incredibly day. Alice truly treated us like family and we would highly recommend her and this tour.
