Perfect 1 day Tour of Shanghai - Had an amazing tour with a personal car and guide (Judy). We visited several locations, and at each stop, Judy provided detailed information and at the markets, she provided valuable advice for shopping and dealing with vendors. The tour was tailored to my needs and schedule. The car was clean, comfortable, and stocked with water. Judy was truly exceptional, making the experience unforgettable.

Great day in Shanghai - Our guide Mary was fantastic, super knowledgeable! We learned so much more about the history of the area than if we had just visited these locations on our own. The guide went at our pace and stoped to take photos for us. Communication with the organizers and the guide was simple and timely. All directions were clear and we had no trouble finding our driver when he picked us up at the airport. This is definitely the best way to see the city.

A lovely day in Shanghai - First of all, I would like to mentioned that I booked the tour at 9:30pm and at 10pm my tour was confirmed via whatsapp. My tour guide Charlie was at my hotel next day at 9am and the tour was perfect for 1 day in Shanghai. Charlie managed to show me the lovely Shanghai in only 5-6h + plenty of valuable historical and cultural aspects.
