Our tour with Qinqin was fantastic. We had a customized tour with her covering Zhujiajao water town, Jade Buddha temple, You Garden, and a few stops in Xintiandi and the Bund. She was passionate, excited, and very knowledgeable about the area and its history. She also knew several great and unique restaurants for us to try local and specialty foods. Had a really great experience with Qinqin, and would recommend her to anyone else looking to tour Shanghai!

Qinqin (Casey) was an amazing guide. She was enthusiastic and so sincere. She was also very attentive towards my sons who are in their late teens and made sure they were engaged during the tour. She switched effectively between Mandarin for me and English for my sons. Her love of Chinese culture, history and tea was very infectious. She was extremely responsive to our questions and queries even before the tour! I would highly recommend her to my family and friends visiting Shanghai
