Splendido tour per una visita completa e varia della città. Ottima guida che è riuscita, nonostante la nostra stanchezza del viaggio, a farci passare una giornata alla scoperta del cibo tipico (pranzo vario e assaggio di ottimo ravioli compresi nel prezzo), alla visita dei luoghi più antichi e moderni riuscendo sempre ad alternare il tutto con momenti di relax. Non posso che suggerire questo tour per una visita in giornata della città e se riuscite richiedete Chloe come guida perché è davvero strepitosa.DeAnna B

We felt very safe during transport and he even played some great music. Thanks to both of them for such an unforgettable experience in Shanghai!deena b
