Customized Private Tour in Shanghai The Bund Yu Garden Zhujiajiao

Fan Ming gave us a very welcoming and personalised intro to Shanghai. We really appreciated his pre-trip communication, helpful suggestions and advice. We visited two contrasting ancient water towns on the afternoon and evening that we arrived in Shanghai. Very memorable and Fan took some great photos! The following day Fan guided us around some of the highlights of Shanghai city - his knowledge and friendly, fun approach contributed to making this a fantastic way of seeing tourist attractions - and also some interesting and less touristy places. He really looked after us and took plenty of excellent photos for us to remember our day with him! Totally recommend contacting Fan if you are planning a visit to Shanghai!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic private tour with Fan, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Shanghai. From the very beginning, communication was excellent. Fan was flexible with the date so we could visit on the day with the best weather, and before the tour he shared lots of helpful advice about Shanghai, including the best viewpoints and times to visit attractions to avoid the crowds. On the day, our t, Fan collected the four of us directly from our hotel, making everything completely stress-free. Our first stop was Jinxi Ancient Water Town, which was much quieter than the more famous towns and exactly what we were hoping for. Fan brought the town to life by explaining its fascinating history and local culture, recommended a lovely coffee stop, and gave us plenty of time to wander the beautiful streets, take photographs, and simply soak up the atmosphere. He also arranged a traditional boat ride, which was a real highlight of the day. We then travelled to Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town, which was equally beautiful. He timed our visit perfectly so we could experience the magical evening lights reflecting on the canals—a truly unforgettable sight. He also took us to a wonderful local restaurant and helped us choose an amazing selection of delicious dishes that we would never have ordered on our own. Throughout the day he was informative, entertaining, and tailored the tour perfectly to our group's interests rather than rushing us from place to place. One of the biggest bonuses was that Fan is an excellent photographer! He took so many incredible photos of our group throughout the day and kindly shared them with us afterwards. It meant we have wonderful memories of the trip without constantly having to ask strangers to take our pictures. This private tour offered far better value than many of the larger tour companies we looked at, while providing a much more personal and flexible experience. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better guide or organiser. We didn’t use his services to explore Shanghai itself as we had plenty of time to do that at our leisure - if you don’t know where to start with planning a city tour or don’t want to have to use the metro / walk for miles, he’d be a fantastic option.  Thank you, Fan for an unforgettable day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai who wants to experience the ancient water towns in a relaxed, authentic, and memorable way.

Other than the rain our tour with Fan was perfection. He was kind, patient, informative and knew all the best places to take us. Oh he is a wonderful photographer too! We ate some wonderful street food, had dinner at the best Chinese restaurant and topped it off with rice ice cream. Fan took us to two water towns. The first was a very authentic water town, where we spent most of our time. The second was best for the lights at night. Fan also spent a lot of individual time with our daughter teaching her. She loved every minute of it and said it was an experience she will always remember. If you are looking for a tour book with Fan you will not be disappointed!!!

My sister and I had a fantastic experience in Shanghai thanks to our tour guides. It is a father-daughter duo local to Shanghai. After you book, they reach out via Whatsapp to curate a personalized itinerary based on your schedule and interests. They gave us local tips on what to see, how to get around all, and where to shop. They were so helpful we decided to book two days with them: one day with the daughter in the city and one day with the father in the water towns. They know all the best spots to take pictures, and the photos were incredible. They also made great recommendations for other things we could do on our own afterwards.

A very kind and friendly guide, extremely helpful and knowledgeable as a true local. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing time with Fan. He drove us to some beautiful water towns and guided us through them for the entire day, along with showing us the food, the history, and some amazing photo spots.

Fan is an excellent tour guide. I had a great tour with him — very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about Shanghai, and he shared plenty of useful tips that really improved my stay. If you want to explore the city with someone who truly knows it, he’s the right person!

Fan Ming is a great guide. He shown lot of interest trying to understand our needs, and eventually organised a perfect day-trip during a long flight stopover we had at Shanghai. We could visit both Jinxi and Zhujiajiao on the same day, in a calm manner and with no stress. Fan Ming knows as well many beautiful places for lunch, tea or just sightseeing… so… book with him! You will have a great time! P.S.: He is a great photographer! You will get nice pictures 😁

This is much more than a private free tour. Ming is not only an excellent local guide and photographer (for your social networks 😊) He is as well your local friend. He will take care of you and make sure you are happy during your time at China. Book with him! You will not regret!

My tour with Fan in Shanghai was truly exceptional! One of the best experiences I’ve had anywhere. From the very first moment, it was clear that Fan isn’t just a guide; he’s someone who genuinely cares about making your time unforgettable. He knew so much about every place we visited, from famous landmarks to hidden corners of the city, and he shared stories and insights that brought Shanghai to life in a completely new way. What made the experience truly special, though, was that Fan was not just a guide, he became friend 🥹 He was thoughtful, kind, and incredibly patient, while we waited for rain to stop and he also took amazing photos of me throughout the tour, truly some of the best travel pictures I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for more than just a tour, but a genuine connection and unforgettable memories, I can’t recommend Fan highly enough. He made Shanghai not only fascinating, but also warm and personal.
