I had a layover of just over 24 hours in Shanghai and it was very simple to be granted a visa free tourist transit at Shanghai airport. My airline had notified the Chinese authorities in advance when I checked in - I'm not sure if this was necessary but the advice online was a little confusing so I wanted to be better safe than sorry. I had a hotel booked and a confirmed flight out of Shanghai which the Chinese immigration officials asked to see. I had booked this trip in advance and the communication and planning was excellent. No problems at all and I was greeted at the airport by my driver. The car for the day was very comfortable and there was WhatsApp communication available in English with the tour organisers at all times. I felt safe in Shanghai, despite travelling alone and knowing no Chinese! My tour guide Queena was amazing - I managed to see so much more of Shanghai than I thought possible in the time. Queena had great knowledge of the places we went to and I learned a lot. The tour seemed very flexible and efficient. Even though the weather wasn't the best, this was a day well spent and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was awesome! Our tour guide Snow was such a lovely woman. She took care of us and respected us for everything we wanted so see and the things we didn’t want to see. We saw a lot of Shanghai in such a short time. We can really recommend!

Had a 15 hour long layover in Shanghai, so we booked this tour to pass the time. It was a great experience. It allowed us to stretch our legs, while discovering the beautiful city of Shanghai. I would recommend getting an e-sim card that works in China. This way we were able to be in permanent contact with Alana, who gave us clear instructions about obtaining the 24 hour visa free pass in China from the airport and then meet our driver there. After that, we were taken into the city, where we met Xin, our guide. The tour was tailored to our needs, and Xin took us to see many beatiful spots in the city. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Shanghai. Great experience, highly recommend it!

I completed the layover tour of Shanghai and can't praise the company enough. I completed the tour with tour guide Alana. Her exceptional expertise brought my Shanghai tour to life! Her insightful guidance and warm demeanor made my experience truly memorable. Highly recommend her as a fantastic tour guide. Alana's exceptional guidance made our Shanghai tour unforgettable! A true gem in navigating the city's wonders. Everything was planned to perfection and car pickup arrangements seamless and always on time. Alana's exceptional taste led us to authentic Chinese gems in Shanghai. Her culinary expertise elevated our tour, making every meal a delightful cultural experience. Kudos for a fantastic and flavorful journey. Outstanding tour and great value for money. Would recommend to family and friends and repeat again if returning to Shanghai. Reference number 1484149007

The whole experience was nothing short of amazing. The Yu garden was breathtaking but the whole city was beautiful. Our guide Queena was so fun and knowledgeable. Couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us around the city. Oh and the food that she took us for was so delicious!! Overall we had the best day, and want to thank everyone involved.

Indeed an excellent experience and format for a quick overview of Shanghai. It gave us a unique sense of this great city with its combination of old and new, Western and Eastern, traditional and modern. One of the most memorable travel experiences ever. The company's customer service was outstanding. Our guide, Madame Xun made our short stay unforgettable.

We’ve had a great time with our tour guide Berlin. She showed us the highlights of the city and also took us to a restaurant, where we could experience the local kitchen.

It is the best experience so far, I 100% recommend the service, our guide was Berlin and our driver Jhon, before the trip we received very clear instructions of the route to follow to obtain a layover visa and exactly where our meeting point would be, as soon as we started The tour felt safe as if we were with very close friends, we visited some places like Buddha temple, the financial towers, China Town, for me and my family it is an unforgettable experience even for my 10 year old daughter who misses Berlin! It may seem expensive but it is worth it!

First of all big thanks alana for the quick organization. The driver mr qui was perfect. Calm and safe driver. Car was super clean and modern. I felt every moment secure. Then Berlin my tour guide was absolutely perfect. She knows everything about the history, china, the buddism or even great shopping tips. I had an amazing day, even i was a bit moody from my long traveling and she couldnt start the tour better then with some great chinese food to go. I had great dishes, bought nice souvenirs and learned a lot about the new and old Shanghai. All places had been totally worth to visit. This was our second booking with this company and we ll be back for some more china experience. Thanks so much. Anja

Worth every penny! Words can not describe how amazing Queenza and Alana's team made our experience in Shanghai. I say experience and not day because it was if we lived multiple days in our time with the team. We were walked through all the logistics of everything and as a US citizen I was concerned but it was incredible fast and easy and we were super welcomed into Shanghai. So much to see and do and eat. And Queensa made sure to hit all the photo opps!! It is fast paced and super fun and we experienced things like a local. I would not do Shanghai any other way!!! Come to this experience with an adventurous attitude, with an appetite and well rested. It is a marathon of sights, sounds, delights, and memories!!!

We got picked up at shanghai airport. The booking was a lil bit of a challenge sinnce i could not use Whatsapp, Facebook or Google. After using a VPN it worked. We drove like 1 hr to shanghai. After that we drive to a few budda temples and got told some about the history behind it. Also the influence of india to it. After that we went to a restaurant which had dumplings and they were special since they was also fulled with soup. We saw the some ild buildings and after some new buildings and in the end the amazing view of the skyscrappet from both sides. The guide ( Jerry ) was very patience and very nice. Also my wife was very happy that he took many pictures of us and showed us the best locations. Would do again. thank you for the amazing day in China. We booked it cause we had 17 hr transit in Shanghai. It was the best chaice we made on this day.

I can really recommend. They picked me up at the airport and dropped me off on time. My tour guide Berlin gave me such a nice tour through a big part of Shanghai. They took care of me and gave me all I needed. All of them were very friendly and honest people. The booking was also very easy and I got clear directions. They responded very fast and helped me out in every situation. It was perfect for me cause I just had a few hours between my flights and it was a stress less way to see Shanghai of its best.

I had a stop over in Shanghai with Alana who was knowledgeable and kind. She showed me everything I asked for, took me for an amazing breakfast and helped me arrange a massage which was just what I needed when passing through between London and Sydney. Highly recommend,

The whole tour was very well-organized from start to finish. My flight was delayed but the driver and guide were still helpful and re-arranged to enable me to still see Shanghai during my 8hr layover. The guide was so welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and moved us through all the major sites at a really nice pace. I was originally a little worried about a solo 1-on-1 tour but was immediately at ease thanks to Snow!

The flexible private Shanghai Layover-Tour has simply been an incredible experience. Right after I arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport I was picked up by my friendly driver. With a brand new and luxurious car we headed to the city center. At the first stop I met my guide Alana who fluently spoke both chinese and english. In front of Juyuan Garden we ate delicious dumplings and meanwhile introduced ourselves to each other. Afterwards we visited Shanghai ´s most interesting places such as Juyuan Garden, a Buddhist Temple, Tianzifang with it ´s tiny shops located in beautiful alleys, The Frech Concession, Pudong with a stunning view from the top of Shanghai Tower and a nice walk between the impressive skyscrapers. During the whole tour Alana provided me with a wide range of information on all the sights which allowed me to immerse myself into Shanghai even better. As it turned dark we drove to my personal highlight of the tour, The Bund or Waitan on the other side of Huangpo River. Looking to the right we saw traditional english buildings built in the 19th century. On the left the promenade gave us a breath taking view on the unique skyline of the city which I will never forget. All in all I can only highly recommend this unforgettable tour as you can take a visit on everything you should have seen in Shanghai within only one day. Furthermore, both the driver and the guide are courteous as well as very well organised which made my 9 hour trip feel like 2-3 hours. All in all, the just make the best of the small amount of time you have in this gigantic city so that I flew home with numerous unforgettable memories. They do everything they promise and even better. I don ´t know what could be done better, it was perfect. Greetings from Germany, Shlomo

I had such a great experience with this tour company. My guide Wilson was very knowledgeable and responsive to what I wanted to see (I specifically asked for an opportunity to jewelry shop!). It was freezing and the driver even let me borrow a coat so that I could enjoy Shanghai. It was a great day and they got me back in plenty of time to make my flight. They also gave very specific instructions that made customs a breeze. Highly recommend!

Our guide Snow was so wonderful- she showed us so many sights in about 6 hours. We saw the Yu Garden, Shanghai tower, the Bund, French Concession and the Maglev train- and we had a delicious lunch. Snow was so sweet and great company all day. Pickup was easy- our driver was at the meeting spot with a sign. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with time to spare on a layover- this was an awesome way to see China for the first time.
