The wall was incredible and quiet enough to enjoy fully! Dong then after took me for food at a local restaurant which was really appreciated rather than having to eat at a chain in the airport!! Thankyou very much Dong, highly recommend!”

A private Shanghai airport layover tour with round-trip transfers, flexible highlights, and fast access to The Bund, Yu Garden, and more.

“This was an excellent way to spend a day long layover in Shanghai. Great communication from Sunny who made sure we knew how to find our driver and even checked we’d made it back to the airport and through customs at the end of the day. The car we were driven in was extremely comfortable and Shirley was an excellent guide. We visited a number of key attractions and Shirley brought them to life by telling us about the history and local customs. Sunny and Shirley made it easy and enjoyable for us to spend our layover in Shanghai rather than at the airport. I’d highly recommend this private tour.”

On a pu visiter la place Tien’anmen, la Cité interdite et le Temple du ciel et mangé dans un très bon restaurant. Bowen a su s’adapter à notre rythme et nos besoins, s’était occupé de nos tickets d’entrée à l’avance et a facilité le passage des points de contrôle, sans lui on aurait été perdus! :) Merci pour tout, la famille Duchamp d’Annecy.”
