My mom and I did a private tour while in Shanghai. The driver and our tour guide met us at our hotel and messaged us when they arrived. Our tour guide, Angel, was amazing! She was so knowledgeable about the city and took us to the hot places and historical Shanghai must sees. She was also flexible and personalized our tour by listening to what we were interested in and made adjustments throughout the day to make sure we had an amazing tour. It was SO nice having our own transportation where we could leave our bought goodies and not having to carry them around. Plus, we didn't have to worry about the crowds in the subways. We were only in China for a week, so we needing to squeeze as much in as we could. We also used Jenny's tour company in Beijing. Recommend 100%!

Peggy gave us a great tour. Loved zhujiajiao and definitely recommend doing one of Jenny's Watertown tours. Peggy did a great job of showing us Shanghai sites. For lunch, she took us to a restaurant for locals and ordered us a lovely variety of typical Shanghaiese dishes. Delicious! Peggy exceeded all our requests and made us first time visitors very comfortable. Highly recommend Peggy and her driver, Mr Wong, and would definitely use her again. Thank you.
