AMAZING / Private Shanghai Layover Tour - Our tour guide was Annie. She was smart, nice, took great photos of us, we learned a lot, saw many places, ate the food. It was GREAT! You spend so much money to travel, thousands, few hundred for the tour has a huge return on investment. If you cannot see important places, learn so much, and have great photos the trip can be wasted getting lost. We had so much FUN, Pictures, Culture, Learning on the layover tour. Thank you Annie. If you go anywhere in Asia, stop in Shanghai and take this tour! (with ANNIE!!! )
