Truly enjoyed the visit of Shangai
The trip was honestly one of the most amazing we had in China and in the world as a whole. From getting to walk through the nightlife at Times Square, enjoying the delicious food at all the malls, and walking down the Bund at night and admiring the skyscrapers, we got to do it all. Specifically, we are very thankful for our guide Chris who gave us these spots to visit and spoke Mandarin for us, allowing us to truly enjoy our visit without all the hassle. We hope to visit again and will of-course be using this service again.
Qi from Shanghai
Qi, our private guide in Shanghai, was very good. She was very flexible to our needs, and changed a few things for us. Qi was charming and helpful and good to chat with.Also I’d like to acknowledge and recommend Vanessa from China Travel who worked with my wife to create a perfect 15 day China tour plan for us. Vanessa was very responsive and understood what we wanted. We had a private tour, and I know this can be expensive, but if you can afford it the private tour is well worth the money.
