Buddhist temple was very interesting. The rest of the tour poor though admittedly the weather and our mobility issues didn’t help. Would have liked to have looked at the shops that were near where we had lunch but weren’t given the chance. Wouldn’t recommend

We had a very interesting and individuell Tour with Cathy as guide. She provided us with a lot of interesting information and brought us to all destination we wanted to see. The Tour was well organized and if you want to get inpressions of Shanghai in one day you get a lot them. If you want to see Shanghai in one day (what is nearly impossible) you get a short view of the City with all new and old areas. Thank you Cathy for the wunderful day together from Thorsten, Heike, Matthias and Sabine.

Our tour of Shanghai was very informative and enjoyable. We were able to experience all the key aspects of the city as per our itinerary and particular interest. The detailed knowledge, clarity of communication and thoughtful consideration of our individual needs by our guide, Nora, together with her delightful sense of humour made our visit truly special and memorable. We highly recommend this Jenny's Tours for the super experience we were given!

We have just completed a two day tour being shown the sights by our very informative guide, Troy. Not only did we enjoy the venues we visited but were also fascinated by the insight that Troy was able to give us about everyday life living in Shanghai.
