Penny was extremely informative,her English exceptionally good.Very friendly and interested in her area. Would def recommend

Penny was remarkably knowledgeable about the history if the French Concessiion and made the history come to life as we strolled through. We saw where Nicon signed the Shanghai Communique, the view from 33rd floor of Hotel Okura, other historical landmarks, and the Shikumen residential buildings. Highly recommend this tour!

Penny was a great guide. She is really knowledgeable on the history of China, and explains this in a relevant and entertaining way. We saw parts of Shanghai that I would never have found on my own.

I had an excellent tour and history lesson of the French Concession today. Penny was such a knowledgeable and enjoyable guide and presented a vast amount of information clearly and in a highly digestible story. My understanding of China and Shanghai is exponential. I highly recommend spending a few hours with Penny!

It was my first time to visit Shaghai. Miss Penny has a real passion for sharing her in-depth knowledge of Shanghai's culture and history.

Penny picked me up from the hotel and took me on a phenomenal tour! She spoke perfect English and taught me so much about the history and culture of the area. We saw a varied cityscape including the fancy hotels, the shopping district, and the housing complexes. We ended at a trendy tea shop with craft tea concoctions. An absolutely amazing day!

Excellent tour with Penny, she was an EXCEPTIONAL guide! She made history super interesting, gave us a new view of the city, and was lovely to chat to. Highly recommanded

We didn’t see the time passing during this great experience! Penny our guide kept us interested during the whole tour and was always available for more questions and more details. She shared her knowledge of Shanghai’s history in a very easy way which make the tour very pleasant while being extremely detailed and clear. We really took our time and at the end of the visit we had so much better understanding about the French concession, its history & organization. We were in family with some member not speaking English but it wasn’t a problem as the pace of the visit allow us to translate to the French speaking member. Really appreciated this tour with Penny and we will definitely take the next tour which focus more on the architecture of the French concession. Highly recommended!!

Unexpected fantastic tour giving deep history of the French concession area especially on architecture. I spent most my childhood time here but surprisingly still plenty new things to me. And thanks for Penny's perfect English guide and Kelly's kind arrangement. Wish them good success on the business and thanks for make this tour realive!

It’s not very often you encounter a tour guide who feels like an old friend leading you through their favorite city - but Penny was so warm and friendly and our conversation was so easy that the time just flew by. Her knowledge of the area and thoughtful responses to my questions not only gave me insight but made me curious to experience more of the local culture. I travel a lot (12 weeks a year.). This is one of the best tours I’ve had in a very long time. Don’t miss out on your chance to see the French Concession up close!

This was my first trip to China and I was travelling by myself so I was feeling a little anxious. I am so glad I booked this tour. Penny arrived at the hotel on time and was extremely warm and welcoming. Penny's knowledge of Shanghai and its history was fantastic and she had wonderful communications skills. Her English was perfect! Not only did Penny given me a wonderful tour of the French concession she also showed me how to use the subway and gave me many other tips that came in handy when travelling in Shanghai. We had a wonderful lunch together and she even told me where to get the best coffee in Shanghai. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was our first trip to Shanghai and we are so glad that we booked this trip early on. Our guide Penny was an absolute delight. She explains the history of both Shanghai and the French Concession in a way that is both educational and fun. Walking through the park, she introduced us to people she knew, making us feel very much at home. Penny then spent extra time with us afterwards at lunch, guiding us through one of our best meals ever. Just a great experience from start to finish!

This was the first of two tours with Penny and we had a great time! Penny was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the area, along with the food and culture. We highly recommend this tour and were happy we also got some excellent food recommendations out of it, too.

I spent a half day with Penny as my guide on a private tour of the French Concession. She was extremely knowledgable, having been a teacher and very well versed in Chinese history and the evolution of Shanghai. She brought the town to life and I found myself quoting her and her knowledge to my family when I returned home. We spent most of our time in the park where she was able to bring to life the songs, dances and discussions many of the locals were taking part in on a Sunday afternoon. She paced the half day quite well as we covered a lot of ground and history and never felt rushed. The other piece that she ensured was how easy everything was logistically. Her and her group communicated regularly in advance, picked me up right on time at the hotel, covered the taxi rides and she even made sure I found a great gift for my wife and two daughters as I was traveling solo on this trip. At the end of the tour she made sure I was dropped at the location I needed to be and gave me a few notes on a good dinner spot....that I hit for dumplings AND LOVED. I think overall this tour was an incredible value, Penny brought the area to life and I learned a ton on the history of Shanghai. Very good use of a half day if you want to dive a bit deeper into the area and learn.

Excellent tour of the French Concession with Kelly (Ping). Kelly arrived on time and handled the transportation. On our way there, she provided a historical overview so I had a basic understanding before our walk. We started at a park, where I got a first hand look at how the locals spend a quiet Sunday. We then moved onto the neighborhood itself, strolling down some of the alleyways, as Kelly explained how many of the residents live today. We also stopped for tea (dumpling place was optional) and ended at the French Club, with a view of the city 30+ stories up. Kelly made sure to show me other suggestions to visit and offered her support during my stay. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, I highly recommend it!

There were two in our group and both of us were extremely happy with our guide Penny. She was highly knowledgeable about the history of Shanghai and the French Concession in particular. We gained a lot from her insights. After our three-hour tour she recommended a restaurant for lunch which served wonderful dumplings and hot/sour soup (yum). We highly recommend Penny if you are thinking about a private tour of the French Concession.

Our guide Penny was great. We walked though Fuzhou Park enjoying the morning activities, learned a lot about Dr Sun Yat Sen and had a delicious lunch of Shanghai specialties. Highly recommended!

Kelly took us on a wonderful walking tour of the old French Concession in Shanghai....it was just the trip I was hoping for - so interesting - Kelly's English is excellent - and we had such a great time with her. I highly recommending asking for Kelly when booking a tour in Shanghai. Mickie & Doug Lloyd in Sausalito, CA

We had a wonderful experience exploring the French concessions with the experience, informative , friendly and professional guide - Kelly. Highly recommend to someone who wants to explore Shanghai and it’s history.

If you are after a rich historical background, enriched with some fascinating personal family context, Penny's your guide. We found her charming and informative. She picked us up, so we didn't even need to find our way to a meeting point. Our walk took us through key public places in the former French concession and also some intriguing out of the way back streets. When she heard about the restaurant we were planning to go to that evening, Penny helped us book the table and gave us some excellent tips on what to order.
