An Absolutely Incredible Private Tour of Shanghai - Daniel: This was, without question, an absolutely incredible 5-star experience! If you're near Shanghai, book this tour, you won't regret it. The Watertown itself was truly a 5 out of 5. It was stunning, serene, and felt like stepping into a beautiful, quiet piece of history. But the service is what made the day perfect. Our driver was amazing, providing an incredibly smooth and comfortable ride. And then there was our tour guide, Miss Penny, she is a true superstar! Penny was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought the entire destination to life. Her passion and attention to detail made the day utterly memorable. Thank you to our amazing driver and the incredible Miss Penny, for a flawless, unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Shanghai! Anna: This private tour of Shanghai was an excellent way to see the city's sights and is highly recommended for any foreign visitor. The day was perfectly curated, allowing us to explore a charming water town, the serene Jade Buddha Temple, and the historic French Concession. The transportation itself was a highlight; the car was beautiful, and the driving was smooth and excellent, making for a comfortable and stress-free journey between locations. A special shout-out must go to our guide, Penny. She was an absolute delight, warm, fun, and friendly, and possessed an extensive knowledge of Shanghai's history, which brought every location vividly to life. Her insights transformed the tour from a simple sightseeing trip into a deep dive into the city's past and present. Overall, a truly five-star experience that seamlessly combined comfort, culture, and outstanding personal guidance.

Experiencing Chinese Culture in Zhujiajiao - We were immersed in Chinese culture as we walked along the busy canal with little shops and also had the opportunity to tour a private garden. As always, Kelly provided amazing service throughout the tour. She took the time to get to know everyone in our group which helped with ordering meals, shopping and other interests to enhance our overall experience!

Perfect way of getting impressions of China like it once was - Fantastic tour and perfect service beyond expectation from pick up at the hotel until late night acrobatic show. Our guide Kelly spoke perfect English and her knowledge of China history was perfect. Tour is quite interactive and Kelly tailored it according to our wishes and interests. We got opportunity to see and taste real China like we were imagined it to be. Kelly took us to a private garden and to a small old-fashioned restaurant where we tried local specialties, famous hairy crabs and rise wine. Overall whole trip and particularly Kelly is highly recommended, you will enjoy it for sure.
