As a group of four on a cruise in Asia, we booked a two-day excursion with Jenny‘s Tour to visit ancient Watertowns in the surroundings of Shanghai and the former French concession and the Bund in Shanghai. It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Troy, a serious and personable fellow, was very knowledgeable about Chinese history and culture. He picked us up at the cruise terminal the two mornings with a driver in a comfortable modern car. Our cultural and historical sightseeing was only interrupted by two delicious lunch breaks with Suzhou noodles and Chinese dumplings. Last but not least Troy spontaneously took me to a.Chinese hospital as I suddenly had a serious health problem. The Chinese doctor could immediately help and I was well treated such that we could continue the journey. Great tour. Very recommendable.

Apple is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She is very polite and very friendly. She gave us an amazing tour. She even took us to a place where we bought souvenirs for a better price. Vehicle was very clean and recent model.

This is my first time in China. Booked a day tour in Shanghai - went to Shanghai Tower, South Bund Fabric Market & Zhujiajao Water Town. Yuyuan Garden was a bonus as we had extra time. Shanghai tower is a must see to get an overview of the city. It's an amazing and clever architecture. The fabric market is a good place to get tailored clothes for yourself. My tour guide, Alice, was so helpful - she helped me to bargain! Zhujiajao is my highlight of the tour - I love the alleyways, the shops, the local food, boat ride and especially the vibe of the ancient town. Yuyuan Garden is the city's old town filled with modernity. I am really thankful to Alice, for making my first trip to China enjoyable and enlightening at the same time. Did I mention that she's so helpful? She even helped me to look for a cream that my friend wanted, called the pharmacy to ask if it was available and especially made a detour for me to go to the pharmacy to purchase the cream. That's going the extra mile and I am really grateful and thankful. I would definitely return to China again and would be happy to join a friendly tour/guide like Jenny's Shanghai Tour. Thank you once again 🙏

I want to express my deep gratitude to Jenny. I believe this is exactly the way a travel business should be run. Professional! Interesting! At the highest level! Special thanks for the organization of the cake on my birthday and gifts for all members of our group - it was an especially pleasant surprise.
