The tour was fantastic! We learned so much about the city, saw beautiful views and scenery, and had a delicious lunch. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. Especially in the Yu Garden, she made the experience so much more interesting than just touring on our own.

A wonderful city tour, made even more memorable with a great guide like Chris. She is native to the city and provided so many "insider" views and information. We felt like natives ourselves by the end.

My wife and I had the pleasure of reconnecting with our friend Chris Wang (Wang Ming Na) for a recent visit to Shanghai. Chris brought to life the Yu Yuan Gardens with her explanations of the flowers and settings, the Bund where we actually saw two weddings, and got a full description of the architecture and buildings, the War Heroes Monument and the modern Shanghai Museum. Chris was extremely good in explaining everything to us in English, and making sure our whirlwind day was very informative.
