A nice and relaxed tour of Yu Garden and Old Shanghai! Our guide was super cool, relaxed and humorous. We greatly enjoyed hanging out with her and seeing these fantastic spots while at the same time learning about the history and culture. Thank you!

After spending 2 full days in Shanghai, we almost canceled this tour. Our guide Alice was quick to adapt the tour to show us parts of Shanghai that we haven’t seen. We went to the Art district, a Jade store/museum, a shopping mall, the largest Starbucks and Shanghai Tianzifang (a quaint shopping district) and the 1000 tree street. She took us for lunch at a popular dim sum restaurant and back home again. Alice was so accommodating and had a charming personality. I would highly recommend this tour company because of our guide and her willingness to adapt to a new situation.

I just want to thank Peggy, our fantastic tour guide, for the most amazing tour. I love going on tours and seeing the world, and have to say, Peggy is one of the best tour guides we have ever had! She was so engaging, kind, knowledgeable and adaptable. We all had different things we wanted to do and see and she accommodated all of them. This is not easy with a teenager included! We saw everything we wanted to, and more! Peggy adapted our tour at the last minute without any difficulty. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. We loved learning from her. She has a true excitement in her voice when talking about Shanghai and its history that was contagious. We left our time with Peggy with more knowledge and smiles on our faces. The car and driver were perfect - the car was comfortable and our driver very kind, punctual polite and safe. We cannot thank you enough for the most amazing morning in Shanghai!

Absolutely fantastic. Apple (the guide) picked us up from the hotel in a taxi straight to the temple which made things very easy. Apple was incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English. When we got to the gardens, there was time to take a lot of pictures and I was amazed by how much Apple knew about the gardens and general history. If we went round he gardens by ourselves, we would think "this is nice". Because we had Apple, we learnt so much and could appreciate the gardens on a deeper level. Lunch was delicious. It was fortunate Apple suggested an early lunch as it got busy very quickly. After the gardens, there was time for souvenir shopping and our own personal tea tasting session. I would thoroughly recommend the personal tour. If ever I go back to Shanghai, I will be looking for another tour from Apple.

I had a wonderful time with Grace yesterday. Thank you for pairing me with such a warm guide. I appreciate spending time with her very much. Grace was very knowledgeable about Shanghai and we walked through the gardens and temple at a nice leisurely pace.
