The tour was great and the tour guide Peggy was excellent. We learned a lot about Chinese culture and history during our tour and she went far beyond the call of duty.

Hi Jenny, just arrived in London from Shanghai and a lovely two days sightseeing with Cathy & Mr Tao! Cathy is a lovely young lady and an excellent guide - she made our sightseeing an absolute delight. Mr Tao is a very responsible & competent driver, & so we also used him to drive us to the airport on departure. Cathy checked with us regularly throughout each day to make sure we were happy with what we were seeing, and that the pace was not too fast. We will certainly recommend your company to any friends of ours who may visit China, & make sure they ask for Cathy! Thank you again for your services. Lindsay & Gillian - New Zealand

Water Town

Published on Jun, 2024

After the city center in Shanghai, we were transported to a different place and time. From the calming and quiet boat ride, to strollling through the ancient streets, to trying some amazing food, the trip was a very pleasant glimpse into the past.
