I'm a Shanghainese, and I have been working as a professional licensed guide in Shanghai since 2008. I'm a language lover, I speak English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. I love being a guide because I am passionate about helping others and I am really proud of my own city and Chinese culture, art and history. In the process of communication with different people, I have a deep understanding of the various culture in the world. And I enjoy sharing those Chinese jokes with my clients, who would burst out laughing. My clients describe me as a caring and knowledgeable guide. I am able to indulge my love of learning while being rewarded for pleasure. So I have a deep study in Chinese history and its relationship with world history, which would help you understand Chinese history and the present situation of China in a new viewpoint. My service area is not just in Shanghai, I can accompany you on the trips to Suzhou, Hangzhou, water villages or other cities in China. I have the tour guide license from China's National Tourism Administration. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

Shanghai is one of the largest cities in the world. Its population is 23 million and the area is 6, 340 square kilometers. It's the commercial and financial center of China. It has a very good combination of modern buildings and ancient structures. You will visit the historic colonial area in the Bund, Ming Dynasties traditional Chinese architecture in the Yuyuan garden area and the spectacular modern skyscrapers in Pudong. A blend of traditional charm and modern excellence will be found, and the mixture of Western culture with the Chinese culture has given the city a very modern and cosmopolitan look. I was born in Shanghai, and I speak Shanghai local dialect. I took education in the city, I have been working in the city, I saw the growth of the huge city over the past 37 years, I know how the local and emigrant people consider, and the difference between other places of China. Shanghai is a 24-hour safe city! People can walk on the street at midnight.
