We took the tour with Portia in October. The weather was not on our side as it was raining all day, but we made it work anyways. The tour started in Pudong, showing us a hidden gem midst the busy streets. Due to the rain we skipped the bike tour along the river, but Portia gave us some recommendations to do it another time. We enjoyed the ferry ride and were ready for some yummy food in a suprising location. After we found a rather unknown but very beautiful temple where we learned about the relationship of Chinese to their temples.
The worthy finale was a tea ceremony with original tea from Yunnan. Lovely hostesses shared their knowledge of tea with us and even gave us a small concert.
We enjoyed the quiet, before Portia sent us on our way with many more recommendations. Overall we really enjoyed our day and would definately book other tours to get to know the less known places of Shanghai.
