A great day full of interesting Shanghai

Published on Jul, 2023

We had a terrific day. Kelly drew our attention to all sorts of details at YuYuan Gardens that we would have completely missed had we been on our own. She then found us some gorgeous local dumplings to sample, and later a brilliant restaurant with very local specialties we hadn't seen before, for lunch. Kelly also took us down back streets and lanes where we could engage with everything Shangai: from upmarket shops to neighbourhoods that gave us a feel for the city's workings. Along the way, we learned lots about local history and culture, and we finished at the Marriage Market, which was fascinating and buzzing. We had a great time and learned a lot about Shanghai and its people.

Great Introduction to Shanghai

Published on Jan, 2020

Kelly organised my walking tour and very short notice and was really helpful! Kuang who was my guide was very friendly, helpful and informative. A great introduction to Shanghai, thanks!!

Shanghai Surprise

Published on Dec, 2019

Kelly provided our family with the ultimate Shanghai tour experience, from beginning to end! Upon arrival, Kelly met us and helped to get us settled into our Air B&B accommodations. She shared her knowledge of Shanghai's history as we walked along the Bund area and visited Yuyuan Gardens. We had some time to walk through different exhibits in the Shanghai Museum and also visited the French Concession. During our time together, Kelly was very genuine and attentive ... and always available to answer any questions we had along the way.

Amazing Trip in Shanghai with Best Guide Service

Penny was amazing! She took us to all the good places… historic places, good places to eat, to shop, a lot of very interesting buildings of old and new. Penny was kind, very punctual, she is just perfect! We suggest all the people who come to Shanghai make sure you ask for Penny. We love her very much.  Shlomi & Ronit from SDEROT, ISREAL.
