The tour was perfectly paced. Peggy was a charming and insightful host. Highly recommended.
We had a business group of 12, Our guide did an excellent job. Flexible and willing to adjust to our group, we saw Shanghai! We covered, the Bund, a temple, a very local restaurant, high view of the city, the Peace Hotel, the cricket/fish market, the umbrella/peoples park and I'm sure several other things. Our group spent the evening in the hotel lobby bar talking about what a great guide Kim was and all the things we saw.
Peggy was a great and very knowledgeable guide during our full-day tour in Shanghai. She picked us up at the hotel, we discussed the intinerary for the day and how to get fom A to B to C taxi, public transport, walk. We visited Shanghai Old Street, Yuyuan, the Bund and the beautiful HSBC building there, had lunch in a local restaurant near People's Square, visited the Confucian temple and, at the end of this beautiful sunny day, we even watched the sunset from the viewing plattform of the Bottle Opener. We were in Shanghai during the Chinese New Year, so we knew it might be a bit complictaed to find a guide or even open attractions. We felt very lucky to have Peggy guide us and even letting us know what options might be available i.e. open during the following days. We would highly recommend this tour and felt it was a perfect start for our stay in Shanghai.
This tour provides great insight into the Shanghai skyline and important locations on their busy streets. We had fun interacting with the residents as we walked along the streets and visited one of the tallest buildings in the City. Our guide was excellent and I recommend having a guide here!
