We had a fantastic tour with our guide Alex. He spoke excellent English and was easy to communicate with throughout the day. We were able to get to the Shanghai Bund, Zhujiajiao Water Town, Jade Buddha Temple and Yuyuan Bazaar (the garden was closed for updates) so it was a very informative and well run day. Our driver also did a great job of driving through some very busy traffic and we felt safe in our comfortable vehicle. We would absolutely recommend this day tour for a superb overview of Shanghai, both old and new. Thank you to Alex for providing us a memorable day!!

We just got back from our tour with Alex and we had the most amazing day. He was fabulous, the driver was fabulous! We wouldn’t have been able to/had the time to do all of the things that we did on our own. I can’t even express what an excellent time we had. It was above and beyond what we expected! Went up in an observation tour, temple with private tea ceremony, a bunch of street food, the worlds largest Starbucks more shopping and the Bund. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some other things too. They picked us up at the crew ship dock and dropped us back off there. During the tour, driver would let us off, we would do something with our tour guide Alex and then he would be there to pick us back up. We could leave all our things in the car so it’s very convenient! He told us so many things about the area and Shanghai. Thanks to Shanghai Private Tour and Alex.

During a recent business trip to China, I got one free day to explore Shanghai. I considered exploring the city on my own, but in the end decided to book a full day private tour with Shanghai Private Tour. It was a great decision. We explored far more sites and neighborhoods than I would have been able to on my own, and the context and conversation made the day so enjoyable! Thank you to David, my tour guide, for this fun day!

Alex was our private guide for the two of us in this Shanghai day tour. Very knowledgeable,spoke excellent English, relaxed pace, with many options to pick from. We stopped and had a tea tasting (ceremony)which was very interesting and educational. Rita took us to Shanghai Shic for lunch which was purely delightful. We saw Shanghai Urban Planning Exibition Hall at the people's quare that was way more interesting than it sounds and the Jade Buddha Temple with Alex's interpretations was superior to any of the temples we have visited in the past.Mr.Wang was our driver who dropped us off and picked us up many times. A wonderful tour with Shanghai Private Tour and the best guide(Alex) you could every wish for.

Very much enjoyed this full day tour with our guide Sam. Started in Zhujiajiao which mid week was not crowded in the morning. We toured a garden ( guide explained the Kew gardens was closed and this gave us the same “ feel”), took a short gondola ride ( this is the Venice of China) then walked through a shopping district and finally had an excellent lunch. Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand and had a very pleasant demeanor. After Zhujiajiao we headed into downtown for the other highlights: Yuyuan bazar & The Bund. Do be prepared for a lot of time in the car as Shanghai is huge and it takes a long time between stops. That said, our driver magically appeared when we needed him, provided water, and a clean comfortable ride. All in all, I feel we got an excellent overview of the old and the new which is modern Shanghai.

We had a fantastic time today with our tour guide David. We walked along the bund to begin our day and then went to Shanghai tower (Option on our own) where once we soared to the top David pointed out the interesting buildings and neighborhoods and told us all about them. We also went to Yuu Market, so interesting and full of life, we did some shopping and then went to the Zhujiajiao water village. There we had a wonderful lunch in the traditional style before taking our river cruise. Then David took us through the beautiful gardens and told us about its rich history. We did everything we set out to do and learned so much from our knowledgeable guide, thank you David!!!!

I've been to Shanghai many times and have seen what there is to see. On this business trip I had a day to do something different. I decided to book with Shanghai Private Tour because of the fast response. I decided I wanted to spend the day at Suzhou rather than being in a car for hours getting there. Although it was not inexpensive I picked the private day trip via high speed train. It took about 25 minutes from Shanghai to Suzhou. Johnny picked me up from my hotel right on time and off we went to the train station. He was very pleasant and shared lots of information about the history, traditions, and the life of people in these towns. His English was superb. Not to mention, I felt very safe as a woman traveling alone. We had a great lunch at an authentic restaurant. The fish dish I had was spicy....like numb your mouth spicy. It was great! I visited PANGate, Master Net Garden, lunch on Peingjing Road. We wandered around this road and then walked the beautiful canal area. I would recommend anyone visiting Shanghai to do this tour (and the Gondola ride) !..Shanghai Private Tour and Jonny are the BEST!

We loved the view from The Bund, the visit inside Pearl Tower and Yu Garden. We plan to come back and spend more time to discover Shanghai. The guide was great. Jane made everything to make us feel great! Maybe we will contact her next time, she is nice, friendly, helpful. She made our day! We enjoyed every minutes of our Shanghai tour.

I was very satisfied with this Sanghai Private tour for my family. If anything, it exceeded my expectations. My guide spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable and accommodating to my needs. In addition, she was very friendly, and we saw all of the major sites in Shanghai. I would recommend this tour without any reservations to my friends or to anyone going to Shanghai.

We had the best day with our guide David in Shanghai. He took us to the Zhujiaiajiau water town which was very beautiful. We had a relaxing ride in the gondola and we then had the opportunity to buy gifts in the many local shops at a very reasonable price. We then went to the Jade Buddha Temple which was well worth a visit and David was very informative, making this more interesting. It was a calming and spiritual place to be.
Finally, we went to the Yu Gardens, walking through the Old Town to get there.
David and our driver were very flexible and allowed us to change parts of our itinerary during our tour.
Thank you David for looking after us, we would recommend this tour to fit in the highlights of Shanghai in a day.
