I loved my tour with Lynn. Doing this tour with her was like exploring on foot with a good friend. Lynn was so informative and accommodating. Seeing the old Shanghai was pretty special and I loved all the food we tasted along the way. Thank you so much! I was in Shanghai on business and I would highly recommend this tour, I'd love to do it again with my husband and kids.
Cindy showed us showed us all of Suzhou and it's surrounding cultural highlights and hidden areas with charm, care and class while balancing just the right amount of information. Highly recommended!!!
I had fun discovering Shanghai and learning about its history. Lynn is an amazing host and was very friendly and knowledgeable. The variety of food was great and I would certainly recommend the tour!
After a week of touring the historical sites in Beijing and Xian, China, a shopping excursion in Shanghai was fun.
Tour was run by a very knowledgeable guide and included a formal tea service in a tea shop where different teas were sampled. Followed by some free time to shop at one of the many street shopping areas before having lunch at a traditional Chinese restaurant, which was included as part of the tour. The highlight was an extended shopping time to haggle and bargain at one of the most popular and busy shopping villages in Shanghai. Bring your best haggling skills because they will surely be tested! Definitely a fun experience!
