Enjoyed our private day tour in Shanghai with David. We were picked up and dropped off promptly at our hotel in Shanghai downtown. Our tour guide David was very well informed, accommodating and flexible. He even brought fish food for my kids to feed the fish at the Yuyuan garden. I would highly recommend seeing Shanghai with Shanghai Private Tour!

We booked this tour one month ahead and we had the priviledge to have David as a guide when we visited Shanghai for three days. He was the most competent guide I have ever had and he was extremely good company at the same time sharing many interesting stories with our children. In a split second he was able to meet our requests and showed us sides of Shanghai that we would never have found ourselves. Thank you David and Shanghai Private Tour.

We used Shanghai Private Tour for a customised private tour of Shanghai for 4 people, and had the most amazing time. Bonnie, our tour planner was so organised, the day tours and travel arrangements all worked without a hitch. They also sent us the letter to assist with our China visas. The history of Shanghai is different to the rest of China and this tour gives you a great background of the British, French and American concessions. Our favourite was the chic shops in the French Concession and something we wanted to go back and spend the day wandering through. With the rain and a sick child, we cut that part short. Alex was a great guide and his english was excellent - he helped us arrange the lunch at a local Shanghai restaurant which was EXCELLENT! No hesitation is recommending Shanghai Private Tour and tour guide Alex.

We truly had a wonderful day in Shanghai. Alex, our tour guide, spoke excellent English and was very flexible with the planned itinerary. We visited the Bund, the Temple,the Yu Garden, and lastly the arranged marriage market that occurs only on weekends. The entire family enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it, especially with Alex. Lunch was also great! Thank you Alex and Shanghai Private Tour! We hope to see you again some day in China.

This was a first class trip all the way! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Shanghai. From the time my husband and I had the idea to visit Shanghai, to the end of our journey, we were exceptionally cared for and our trip surpassed all expectations. Jason worked with us to plan the trip, we gave him ideas of what we wanted to do, and he made it possible within our budget and timeline. The food at a local restaurant recommended by our guide Jason was delicious beyond description...the transportation arranged for us was always on time. Jason, our tour guide made us feel like we were in the movies...he was so well spoken and full of passion and history of the places we visited. We will most definitely do another tour of China and we'd use Shanghai Private Tour. Thanks to everyone for the trip of a lifetime.

Our Guide Nancy was excellent. Great english and Knowledgeable. Unfortunatley Shanghai City Tour did not coordinate travel times and lacked anticipation of the travel times. We communicated our time availability to see the Bund, Nanjing Road, We're not a museum enthusiast, but our guide makes it interesting. Thanks.
