Welcome to Shanghai! I'm Xu Jin. Hi, I'm Jin, a certified English-speaking tour guide from Shanghai. Since 2010, I have enjoyed showing visitors from all over the world my hometown. I believe every traveler is different, so every tour should be different. That's why I create private tours based on your interests, available time and travel style. My published tours are good starting points. After booking, I'm happy to adjust the itinerary to fit your wishes. Whether you are visiting Shanghai for the first time, returning to discover more, enjoying a layover, arriving by cruise ship, travelling with your family or combining business with sightseeing, I will help you make the most of your visit.

These tours include a private car with a professional driver, entrance fees, lunch and refreshments, so you can relax and enjoy your day. You will always return to your ship on time. A Little About Me Before becoming a tour guide, I worked as a secretary in market research. This experience taught me how to organize trips, work with international visitors and solve unexpected situations. I hold a National Tour Guide Certificate and I am also TESOL certified. Besides private tours, I also help business visitors with meeting arrangements, translation services and travel planning throughout China. Why Choose Me? My guests often tell me they like my tours because they are: ✔ Flexible ✔ Well organized ✔ Relaxed and enjoyable ✔ Based on their interests ✔ A good mix of famous attractions and local life ✔ Suitable for couples, families, business travelers and small private groups I enjoy showing visitors not only the famous places, but also the Shanghai where local people live, work and relax. Transportation To keep my tours flexible and affordable, transportation is usually not included. In downtown Shanghai, the Metro and taxis are often the fastest and most convenient way to travel. They also give you the chance to experience the city like a local. If you prefer more comfort, I can arrange a private car with a professional driver. Luxury Shore Excursions always include private transportation. Tour Prices Please see the individual tour pages for prices. Luxury Shore Excursions are all-inclusive. The published tour price includes private transportation, entrance fees, lunch and refreshments, so you always know exactly what is included. I Look Forward to Meeting You I hope to welcome you to Shanghai soon. Whether you choose one of my published tours or would like to make some changes, I will do my best to create a tour that matches your interests and gives you wonderful memories of Shanghai. I look forward to showing you my beautiful city.

    Jin was a great tour guide, very responsive to emails before my arrival, she made sure I had all the information required. Once I arrived we had a great day, she arrived a little earlier than arranged and messaged me to let me know she was here (as I was also there early).
