This was the most memorable trip we have ever had in a city that we knew very little of. Autumn is as good as almost any guide I have ever had and would recommend her to anyone as a great guide. She gave us a structured tour and could answer our questions as we asked. We appreciated her knowledge and insight of the city. But most of all we really loved her energy; you can tell that she really does enjoy her job and taking care of her tour group. Highly recommend this first-class guide!
This half day Shanghai customized tour was great for us since we only have few hours free after work. Our tour guide, Mr. David was doing a great job. The view from Oriental Tower was really breathtaking. Yu Garden was great but avoid high seasons period otherwise will be even more crowd and the place is not really huge to cater too many people. I have visited Shanghai before but only this time taking the tour and it was great and recommendable to anyone who wish to see Shanghai, first hand.
