    Memorable Day in Shanghai
    The agenda was perfect for a free day in Shanghai. My guide, Queena, went above and beyond to make it a memorable day.. We had some schedule delays and she super flexible and ensured I saw everything and more. She was informative, knowledgeable, a professional photographer, and very sweet. I highly recommend!

    [Vm~] Whether you know nothing about SH or know exactly what you want from SH...
    It was my last, last minute decision to go out for the SH tour just 5 minutes before midnight before the tour, and they immediately responded and arranged for my tour on the next day.
    My tour guide, Alana, was very kind and knowledgeable with her 10+ years of guide experience, and the first thing she did when we met was to create a personalized tour route according to your preference. Since I did not know anything about SH, Alana suggested 7 different spots, and apparently, we ended up with most of the key attractions in SH in a single day. She was very flexible and was able to change the course on the fly on your request and quickly figure out the arrangement in no time. Highly recommended!

    Favourite tour of shanghai
    I'm Irish, visiting Shanghai for 1 week. The tour with Jim was one of the best introductions you could hope for. Instantly chatting to Jim, its like hanging out with an old friend.

    He loves his city and he'll show you the best parts , not just food but history too.
    Thanks Jim (you're always welcome to visit us in Ireland.)

    Fun day trip
    Had a great time in Suzhou with our tour guide Annie. We went through all the transit seamlessly and hit all the major points. It was nice just being able to enjoy and learn about a destination without having to deal with logistics.

    Amazing tour and guide !
    The tour was perfect. The village is very nice and you feel that you are in a more traditional China than NEW Shanghai. It is indeed touristic with lots of shops and restaurants but it is very nice to spend half day or even the whole day.

    We were pickup at our hotel on time with welcome gift and water. Car was really nice and the driver very careful

    Our guide QUEENA was the best. English is absolutely perfect ! As we are traveling with an 8 years old girl, Queena also made the tour fun for her too. She really took care of everything. Queena gave us all the information needed.

    Queena also helped us with our WeChat setup which is essential while in China.

    Tour is recommended.

    Great Experience
    Great and interesting bicycle tour. Our guide Q gave us a lot of background information, the locations we visited very very interesting (some of them we would never have found by our own). Perfect recommendation for people who want to get more knowledge about the city in a very close way to the locals.

    Best Food Tour In Asia!!!
    This was a 10/10, top class experience. I have been to 40 countries so far, and Jim’s personalized tour is honestly in the top 3 tours I have done anywhere! The food was amazing, Jim’s knowledge was impressive & I had such a great time.

    ERA Intersection of Time Show
    Great show! Very entertaining and suitable for all ages! A must see. You can buy your tickets on line at get your guide. When picking up your tickets, make sure to give yourself enough time as the line at the box office can be quite long. Also if possible have the hard copy of your invoice to give to the box office so that they can easily find your reservation and print your tickets.

    Enjoyable
    Zhujiajiao is definitely worth going . Lovely old water town n old streets filled with local snacks . Apple, our guide made a difference to our experience! . Besides sharing in-depth information on the history of the water town, she took us to the best rice dumpling store and also
    Introduced us to some delicious local snacks n even
    Bargained on our behalf with local shop owners . A proactive and personable guide

    Good in-and-out service from the airport
    On-time, courtesous and fast delivery to and from the airport. I booked one way transfer from airport to my hotel, because as a foreigner I do not have any form of digital payment used in mainland China. Their service is so good that I book another trip when I depart the city. Good quality transport service in Shanghai
