1 Day brought us closer to the Chinese ppl living and thinking

Published on Mar, 2025

This trip was a good choice to make! Our guide Annie was great, direct and she spoke well and understandable English. She knew a lot about Chinese culture and history. She could answer any of our additional questions like Japanese and Chinese art differences etc. By the end of the day we could get closer to the Chinese living and thinking. Wish we could spend more days with her at different cities but unfortunately we was just traveling by and China could not stay more.

Sunny and very nice visit

VIP from beginning to end, and then some…

Published on Feb, 2025

Taking a tour with Shirley is like going to visit an old friend you never knew you had… She takes the time to listen to what is important to you, is a wealth of knowledge, and really tries to get to know you while sharing all about her home, Shanghai. We had 2 tours already booked and were lucky enough to have Shirley for both tours (we loved taking tours with Shirley so much we booked a custom tour for our last free day!) it was a VIP tour and we felt every bit of being treated like a VIP from beginning to end. Food choice was spot on, she took pictures for us (& pointed out good spots & times to take them too), let us know what was worth our time and energy to see, and most of all was always in a great mood and happy to be spending time with us. Overall, well worth the money and I would even say a bargain given the overall experience. Car service is excellent, Sunny is very easy to deal with and very responsive, and with Shirley as your guide will make this tour a once in a lifetime experience!!!
