A first class taste of many aspects of Shanghai - A fantastic overview of Shanghai. May our guide was exceptional, informative, really helpful and very friendly. We saw so many different aspects of this wonderful city. Alana her manager was also really helpful and upgraded our tour to add a free lunch (which was delicious) as the Yu gardens are closed on Mondays. Our driver was also excellent and the car very comfortable and air conditioned which helped a lot. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who has not visited Shanghai before. Probably our best Viator tour so far! Thank you May

Ms. Xin was awesome! - Great experience with Ms. Xin! The driver and Ms. Xin were very accommodating. I booked the tour the night before, after 9pm and they immediately reached out a few minutes after. They picked me up on time and The tour was at my pace. They asked if I wanted to see any additional things and they took me. Ms. Xin was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the city. I’m very glad I booked this tour. I learned a lot with the short period of time I got. Lunch was great!! They take you to a local place that happens to be Michelin rated z highly recommend this tour. Vehicle was new, water was supplied and I even got a fan to be with all day. Again, could not recommend more. Great experience.

I had a wonderful tour... - I had a wonderful tour with Jenny exploring this beautiful city! We covered so many areas in a very short time, but I never felt rushed and she kept checking to make sure I was seeing everything I hoped to see. We went for a delicious authentic lunch with no tourists in the place. She also gave me tips on how to navigate the city for the rest of my trip. I never would have been able to do this all on my own. I highly recommend.

Personalized tour for a perfect day with a wonderful guide! - Xin was our guide and arrived at the hotel ahead of schedule, waiting for us in the lobby. Get English was incredible and her knowledge of the history, the sites, and the city was impressive. She helped us get in to every location, showed us the best spots for pictures, and guided us through food choices and shopping. She helped us get expensive but high quality local tea, and find cheaper options off the beaten path at local markets for souvenirs. We had a wonderful, perfect day. If we ever come back - and I hope we will - we will see booking this again!
