Shanghai Budhas, Skyline, and hidden gems!

Wonderful way to get to know Shanghai, there’s no way we could have seen or heard about all of these areas of Shanghai without our wonderful guide. She was friendly, professional, easy to understand, passionate, and very knowledgeable! The version that we booked included admission and guide service, but the cost of taxi (DiDi) transport and lunch was on us. We understood that and everything worked well. Highly recommend this experience.

Day Tour of Shanghai with QinQin

We had about 8 hours to see Shanghai and our wonderful guide QinQin managed to navigate and gives us a wonderful highlight tour of Shanghai. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable but very flexible in adding some of our different ideas for restaurants and activities. Ironically, she was our best tour guide of our 2 1/2 week trip to Asia, and we highly recommend her.

Shanghai Visit

Apple was a most delightful tour guide. We were met at the airport with a driver and the joy of visiting Shanghai began. We enjoyed a stroll in the French Concession, and ended our day with a Ferry ride to see the beautiful night lights of Shanghai. Our visit to Shanghai was just the best. Two days was not enough for this lovely City, however Apple gave us the best tour and historical overview. She was marvelous!
