The company was very flexible as I reserved an afternoon tour same day (a.m). Penny arrived promptly to my door then confirmed my interests to map intineary and then we were on our way. I was able to tour Peace Hotel, The Bund, Jewish Museum/neighborhood, and Yu Gardens. She treated me to my first jianbing (pancake) and it was the best thing I ever tasted. Unforunately Confucius Temple was closed but Yu Garden was a great contigency plan. Penny is very versed in the history of China and provided in depth information on each site visited, non Google-able info. Highly intelligent and well traveled yet non-pretentious. She felt more like a friend and even helped procure my first silk scarf and joined me for dinner. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who needs to see Shanghai in a condensed amount of time with professional and pleasant tour guides. Penny is awesome!626jacquelynd

My friend and I spent a few days in Shanghai. We went on numerous tours that we booked with Melody Tour. All the tours were excellent and all tour guides spoke English. Our tour guide on this particular tour was Sophie Lee, she was very friendly, spoke excellent English, had amazing knowledge or the history of China as well as local history and was very accommodating. We went to Shanghai Tower (second tallest in the world), on the Meglev train which goes at 300km/hr and to Yu Garden in old Shanghai. I would highly recommend this company and tour to any travelers.
