Explore Shanghai’s old town, Yu Garden, The Bund, and Shanghai Tower on a flexible private half-day tour with hotel pickup.
“Excellent experience with our guide Sammi. We have done many private tours as a family (my wife, me, two kids age 9 and 6). Many times the tour isn’t not truly private and customizable, and the guide just does the standard itinerary. In this case, Sammi really helped us design a tour that met our needs as a family, she was in tune with our kids (both engaging with them and reading when they were energetic or tired), and gave us lots of opportunities to adjust. She was also very friendly, knowledgeable, and struck the right balance of explaining things without going into too much detail. We would highly recommend.”
