Our three-day adventure in Shanghai, guided by the wonderful Lucy, was nothing short of spectacular. The trip began on a relaxing note with a free day upon arrival. After a smooth transfer from the airport, Lucy provided us with great recommendations for restaurants and areas to explore on our own, such as the vibrant Xintiandi and the tranquil Fuxing Park. This allowed us to settle in, stretch our legs, and get a taste of the city’s dynamic mix of modernity and tradition.

The following day, Lucy took us through Shanghai’s major attractions with ease. We began at the Bund, where we marveled at the colonial architecture and the contrast with the futuristic skyline across the Huangpu River. Lucy’s in-depth knowledge made the walk fascinating as she delved into the history of this iconic location. We then explored the historical heart of the city at Yuyuan Garden, where Lucy pointed out intricate architectural details and shared stories about the garden’s creation during the Ming Dynasty. In the afternoon, we visited the Old French Concession and Tianzifang, areas filled with European-style architecture, art galleries, and cafés. Lucy’s commentary on the area's history gave us a deeper understanding of Shanghai’s layered past.

On the third day, we were whisked away to Zhujiajiao Water Town. This was a true highlight of our trip. Lucy ensured we had a personalized experience, taking us on a scenic boat ride through the town’s ancient canals, where we saw local life unfold. The peacefulness of the water town was a perfect contrast to Shanghai’s urban buzz, and Lucy’s insights into the local culture and customs were invaluable. We strolled along the ancient bridges, visited charming shops, and even tried some local specialties.

Throughout the tour, our driver was punctual and ensured we traveled comfortably. The company’s attention to detail was evident in the seamless transitions between locations, and the flexibility to personalize the experience made the journey stress-free. Lucy’s passion for Shanghai and her expertise made this an unforgettable experience.
