The Shanghai layover tour with Wilson of Amazing Shanghai Trips gets 5 stars! It has been such an enjoyable experience having a layover tour with Amazing Shanghai Trip. And my guide Wilson has been excellent. The pickup from the airport was seamless. I got clear instructions on where to meet my driver and I did not have to wait for him. Once we got into the city, I met my guide, Wilson who was brilliant. Wilson has very good English and his knowledge and history of the city and area was very informative. Wilson structured the tour to do what I wanted and it was at the perfect pace. Dealing with the company has been above par and I would recommend both this company and Wilson for anybody who wishes to have layover trip while in Shanghai.The tour was perfect and we got to see all the places we wanted to see in a short period of time.

Our family of 5 adults (parents, adult children and grandfather) had a 12 hour stopover in Shanghai on our way home from London to Brisbane and didn’t want to stay at the airport. This tour is great. We were met on arrival by the driver, driven to town to pick up our guide. Wilson showed us the city highlights and was very informative. After the tour, we were driven back to the airport with time to spare before our next flight. Tour duration was approximately 7 hours inc travel time to and from the airport. Communication prior to the tour was excellent. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone with a lengthy stopover in Shanghai.The flexible private Shanghai Layover-Tour has simply been an incredible experience.

The flexible private Shanghai Layover-Tour has simply been an incredible experience. Right after I arrived at Shanghai Pudong Airport I was picked up by my friendly driver. With a brand new and luxurious car we headed to the city center. At the first stop I met my guide Alana who fluently spoke both chinese and english. In front of Juyuan Garden we ate delicious dumplings and meanwhile introduced ourselves to each other. Afterwards we visited Shanghai ´s most interesting places such as Juyuan Garden, a Buddhist Temple, Tianzifang with it ´s tiny shops located in beautiful alleys, The Frech Concession, Pudong with a stunning view from the top of Shanghai Tower and a nice walk between the impressive skyscrapers. During the whole tour Alana provided me with a wide range of information on all the sights which allowed me to immerse myself into Shanghai even better. As it turned dark we drove to my personal highlight of the tour, The Bund or Waitan on the other side of Huangpo River. Looking to the right we saw traditional english buildings built in the 19th century. On the left the promenade gave us a breath taking view on the unique skyline of the city which I will never forget. All in all I can only highly recommend this unforgettable tour as you can take a visit on everything you should have seen in Shanghai within only one day. Furthermore, both the driver and the guide are courteous as well as very well organised which made my 9 hour trip feel like 2-3 hours. All in all, the just make the best of the small amount of time you have in this gigantic city so that I flew home with numerous unforgettable memories. They do everything they promise and even better. I don ´t know what could be done better, it was perfect. Greetings from Germany, ShlomoReally enjoyed our city tour today.
