We will start our walk at the entrance of one of the oldest local Chinese parks (built in 1914). Every day, performers, artists, and martial arts performers descend on the park. Each area bustles with different types of activities such as Tai Chi, ballroom dancing, calisthenics, and music performances. After our walk in the park, we will go to a 4 storey wholesale tea market which targets area re-sellers, so the prices are very good. Here, we will have a brief discussion of tea’s history and health benefits. Learn how experts judge good quality tea by examining its leaves, and then compare and contrast Long Jing tea by sight, smell, and taste.
We also sample a special white tea, some lesser-known green tea, red tea, black tea, and flower tea, different store owners will tell us about the products and provide tips in finding the best tea and tea wares. We will have plenty of time to wander through the many tea shops and sample teas. Sampling is the best way to learn about the tea, so sit, ask questions and sip away great tea.
A short tour, that shows you the beautiful architecture that is so typical for Shanghai.
Beijing has its hutongs, Shanghai has her lilongs, or longtangs in the Shanghainese dialect. Behind the facades you see throughout Shanghai, a nearly invisible world can be found. Small streets that accommodate the Shanghainese communities in a way that makes it seem time stood still.
Wheely shows you a few of these lilongs and shows you the Shanghainese life the way it was about 100 years ago These lilongs are mainly located in the French Concession and Wheely seizes the opportunity to show you some more of this gorgeous city. A Russian orthodox church, the former headquarters of a mob boss, Shanghai will have no secrets left for you after this tour. Almost!
He went above and beyond to make are experience as amazing and memorable as possible and if there were any problems he would help solve them as quickly as possible.

Be ready to cruise along the Huangpu River and see the Shanghai skyline like never before. Then head to one of the hidden 'speakeasy' bars in the city and have some relaxing time there.
Our guide will come to pick you up in your hotel lobby and take you to the Huangpu River for the cruise. The cruise will last for 60 minutes. See landmark colonial buildings as you cruise down the river. Enjoy an excellent view of the Bund, including the Peace Hotel with its green, pyramid roof and the Customs House with its large clock tower.
Head to one of Shanghai's newest breeds of hidden 'speakeasy' bars after the cruise. As the name suggests, you won't find the entrance to the bar until you have arrived there.

This was one of the best trips I have been on in years. I was pleasantly surprised at how kind the Chinese people were. Our guide was absolutely fantastic, and probably one of the most knowledgeable I’ve ever had! Nothing was ever too big or too small for him and he’d always recommend additional activities in our spare time. China is like no other Southeast Asia country, and its vast development is fascinating! You get to see the modern day, China, as well as the old historic sites. If you enjoy your food, you will not be disappointed by the options on this trip what makes it even better if you only pay about 6 pounds for a huge dinner!!

We were a family of 6 adults in Shanghai for two and a half day. Cindy proved to be professional, punctual, knowledgeable, accommodating, cooperative. She was more than willing to adjust her original plans to accommodate our personal needs and wishes, providing us with the most enjoyable two and a half day tour of Shanghai that left us with nothing but terrific things to say about her and the city itself.
Our guide really made the trip more than anything but the itinerary was very well put together with so much of such a huge country being covered in such a short time. This is my first trip travelling like this and it is by far the best holiday I've ever had, I feel like I made genuine friends with all my companions and never felt lonely despite arriving in the country on my own.
