Hello! I'm Hongsheng, your right guide based in Shanghai, China. Although I may seem new on this platform, I'm no newbie in the travel industry. I've been a professional guide for over ten years. I'm fully credentialed with a national English guide certificate and a driving license, enabling me to conduct tours in China legally and efficiently. I can organize private tours for individuals and all kinds of groups, providing comfortable private vehicles and suitable accommodations. Moreover, through my local connections, I can assist with business matters in China, like hosting meetings, arranging factory visits, and company registration. I'm passionate and experienced. Since 2010, I've served tourists from six continents and dozens of countries, introducing them to the vibrant, historical, and ever - changing China. I'm also a traveler, having visited over 50 countries globally. With over 10 years of inbound tourism operations and outbound travels, I'm an open - minded, understanding, and trustworthy person. I can customize various tours for you: city tours, walking tours, food tours, metro tours, cycling tours, or business trips. Whether it's the Bund, Buddha temples, gardens, old concessions, water villages, or nearby cities, I'll offer unique perspectives that most tourists and locals miss. I'm conscientious. On my tours, you'll not only explore but also interact with ordinary Chinese people, experiencing aspects of daily life that aren't shown in the media. As a family man myself, I warmly welcome you to visit Shanghai with your loved ones. With nearly 20 years of experience in the travel industry, I am perfectly positioned to host and organize large-scale inbound groups to China, including overseas exhibition delegations and international tour groups.I can secure and reserve exhibition booths and hotel accommodations well in advance. I also excel at seamless arrangement of large coaches and full-scale vehicle fleets. For large group operations, reliability is paramount — and that is exactly my greatest strength. If you're planning a Shanghai tour, don't hesitate to reach out. Whether you want a standard tour or a customized one, I'll do my best to make it a memorable experience. I'm your right guide for you.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

Shanghai: the city where I finished college education, where I met my wife and start family. In my eyes Shanghai is one of most busiest but most organized city altogether in the world. It has 70% Chinese personality and 30% west mind that attracts me dearly. Few cities in the world evoke so much history, excess, glamour, mystique and exotic promise in name alone. If this is your first time to visit the magic city, don't miss the highlights. So be my guest ! Discover old and modern Shanghai with a full-day private tour. Visiting Ming-Dynasty Yu Garden, see the 546 meters observation deck at Lujiazui financial zone, walking in the former French concession gives you a glimpse of the city's unique identity.

We loved Hongsheng! Don’t hesitate for a second booking him. Great English, fun guy, super patient and accommodating of changing the itinerary if something strikes your fancy along the way. No need for a driver at all - metro worked fine and was fun. This was the best first day city primer we could have hoped for.

Had an enjoyable time, easy and interesting. Recommend. Solid English, good conversationalist, knows the city.

Our walking tour of Shanghai with Honsheng felt very authentic - almost not like a guided tour but a wonderful day in a bustling city with a friend. He seamlessly adapted the route as he saw what our group responded to. In addition to some of the standards, he worked in some destinations that felt off the beaten track - including a great lunch spot that catered to a local crowd. Everyone in our group (two parents and three college-age children) enjoyed the speaking with him as we walked and rode the metro from one area to the next. Highly recommended!

Hongsheng was very flexible to make the tour suit our limited time & schedule in Shanghai, making sure we could see all we wanted (including a quick trip to Shanghai Zoo’s Pandas). I’d gladly recommend Hongsheng for any tours you need in Shanghai.
