Relaxing Water town tour - Bella was a great guide for my mom and I through Zhujiajiao Water Town and our look at the highest building in China as well as the city skyline from across the water. She offered us great information on each place she took us. She allowed my mom and I enough time to enjoy each area on our own, and when she was with us she always helped us with any dealings. She also made sure to provide information to us about each location we were going to on the drive over. Overall my mom and I really enjoyed Bella as our guide and hope she can give us another tour when we return to China in the future!

Must do if in Shanghai! Berlin is the best! - Berlin made our first trip to China an amazing one. She was so funny, made really great food/coffee suggestions, helped me get out of having to buy things (haha), and overall great company. My daughter actually mentioned it being sad that we wouldn’t be seeing her again after our tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable on the locations we visited. We live in Hawaii, been all over North America, Central America, Europe and Asia….and Berlin provided one of the best tours we have ever been on! We booked another tour with the same company just because of our experience. Thank you!

Amazing tour 10/10 - I only had one day to explore Shanghai and was so glad I chose this tour! Blair was an amazing tour guide, spoke impeccable English and had a deep understanding of the local culture and history. She was accommodating and flexible with my requests and went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience possible. I came away feeling like I’d seen the best Shanghai has to offer. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Great experience - The tour was a good time. We went to Shanghai tower, followed by Yu garden, then we drove to the water town, road a boat, had lunch then went to a temple and another garden along with souvenir shopping, then finished with driving back to the Bund and walking along the water. May was great at providing fun historical facts throughout and the process from start to finish was very seamless.

great trip - My family and I recently explored Zhujiajiao Water Town with a fantastic tour led by Snow, a local guide. Snow was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with rich insights throughout our journey. Our tour included iconic spots like the Shanghai Tower, The Bund, and Yu Garden. After enjoying a delightful local lunch, we visited the Kezhi Garden and took a relaxing boat ride. Snow's expertise and warm personality greatly enhanced our experience, making it truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Shanghai and its surroundings.
