Brilliant tour. Annie and the team went above and beyond to ensure great memories were made. Very knowledgable and very flexible to accommodate our needs. Highly recommend booking this tour to see Yu Gardens if you want to have a professional and great experience.

I had a wonderful morning with tour guide Annie It was great to get out and see the old city on foot. Yu Garden is beautiful! Annie had lots of stories and was very knowledgeable about the history as well as the cultural meaning of the architecture and landscape in the garden. She was a good companion and I had a great time. I would highly recommend this to anyone especially a solo traveller like me.

Arriving in Shanghai after dark last night had me questioning my ability to navigate the city on my own. Sunny’s tour immediately put me at ease. I can’t believe how much we crammed into two hours - Old Town, Yu Garden, the French Concession. At the end of the tour Sunny was kind enough to drop me off at the Shanghai Art Museum so I could continue exploring on my own. She gave me perfect directions for returning to my hotel on foot. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were very much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!

MY spouse and I truly enjoyed this private walking tour through old Shanghai. Our guide Sunny was wonderful. She came to meet us at our hotel promptly at 8:30 am. She ordered a Chinese Uber type car service to take us to Old Town Shanghai. Sunny was very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Her English speaking skills are excellent. She was very quick to answer any of our questions, and if she didn't know she would use her phone to search for the answer. It was a beautiful morning to walk through the Garden. The Yu Gardens are beautifully planted and well maintained. There are several pavilions to walk through with ponds and water features to enjoy. Sunny made references to the history of the Yu Gardens and any architectural features as we made our way through. She was also very accommodating when we wanted to shop in old town. She translated for us which was very helpful. After our tour she even accompanied us to The French Concession where she suggested we have a cold beer and lunch at The Refinery Shanghai Brewery. We did, and it was the perfect spot. Great for relaxing while people watching and a enjoying tasty lunch. I highly recommend this tour, and especially appreciated our Guide Sunny. You will too.
