We are a group of Ex-pats who have been in Shanghai an average of 7 years. We can honestly share that this experience will be one of the high lights of our time here. It is one thing to view the Bund from either side looking over to the other. It exceeds your expectations to see it from the middle of the river. Alana was an outstanding host from start to finish. She checked in during the entire process making sure we had what we needed and even thought of extra ways to make this celebration better. The Champaign was Moet and the View was priceless. Thank you again for making our time in your beautiful city even more memorable. Cheers!!!!!

The tour was excellent, Bill went out of his way to accommodate us. We were at a hotel far from the city center in Shanghai. He picked us up on time and we were able to visit all the sights we wanted to see. If you want to visit Water town he is the best guide you’ll find in Shanghai. We can’t thank him enough for giving us our best day in China.

We were picked up from the ship terminal on time and Aileen was ready to show us around - our driver was really fantastic driver but did not speak English well . Aileen her English was amazing. She had studied literature and her knowledge of China, culture and history was interesting and thorough. She was loads of fun with all the answers. The drive to the Water village was quite long but all the way we saw lots of interesting things that Aileen described for us. When we arrived at the village we crossed a bridge built in the 15th century. We went into one of the houses to walk through what would have been a very wealth persons home and gardens. When inside we saw farming equipment, Aileen described how her grandparents had farmed the land and she had helped with the rice stripping etc. While in the house we saw some beautiful hand made tapestries - saw the women doing the work. Just did not buy as we could not decide what we would do with it. We went through the markets which were hectic and a little touristy - if we had more time we did find some out of the main stream areas that were very appealing for shopping. We had lunch on a balcony looking over the river(canal) it had a feeling of Venice. We liked the food but may be did not chose as well as we could - Eel was not great and the small prawns were not easy for us as we did not want to eat the shells. We travelled back into Shanghai and went to the Kezhi gardens which were beautiful not dissimilar to those at the water village - but much bigger. The Chinese markets nearby were also fabulous but time was getting away form us. The Shanghai tower was most inspiring. We wanted to drive by the Bund. Really we could have spent hours looking at the architecture of these buildings alas time ran out . The lights coming back to the ship were most impressive. It had been a busy but lovely day. Thank you Aileen

They put together a special itinerary for me based on my interest in Zheng He maritime history as well as the transitions between the first and third Ming emperors.
