Programs include practice Taichi, learning cooking, visiting ancient Shikumen dwelling, house of Shanghai Nongtang, learning calligraphy, watching attired opera, viewing tea ceremony, watching acrobatics performances, with more to come. Knowing the city from different aspects, we are committed to making tour experiences exceed their expectation. Last, I like my job very much. It gives me the best chance to meet people from all over the world. Let's plan you Shanghai trip by visiting top - site like, the Bund and Pudong Lujiazhui area & the hidden gems.

May W tries very hard, but there are issues. We found May quite forceful and did not always listen. The "office" is 10km out Shanghai, so 10km is required just to cycle back into town through crazy urban traffic. We asked about the French Concession, but without discussion of any extra distance May just shot off cycling 50 metres ahead demanding "just follow me" - adding an extra 20km! By the time we were back in town we were exhausted and abandoned the bikes! Not good. Lunch at Grandmothers was better.

The day was rainy, but that did not stop us from having a magical time with Mayfer. We road bikes all over Shanghai, and Mayfer was an upbeat guide who shared the city with us from a perspective not usually available to visitors. Absolutely first rate experience!

Mayfer was the most vibrant, funny, educational and energetic tour guide I have encountered over many years of travel. She made our private tour the highlight of our 3 week holiday.

Loved this tour! Mayfer was a great guide and lovely to talk to throughout the whole tour. She gave a great overview of the whole city and was more than willing to take photos whenever you wanted. The tour gave me a perfect look at the city as a whole so I could know where to go to spend more time later. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes to cycle.

Our tour of Shanghai with Mayfer was amazing. Mayfer took us to all three concessions that make up this wonderful city; the Japanese, British and French. She pointed out various architectural sites, gaves us tours through busy shopping districts and took us for an authentic Shanghai lunch. Mayfer spoke to us at length, discovered our interests and focused the tour accordingly. A bike tour through Shanghai is an adventure; one which I highly recommend!!

Great way to visit Shanghai - on a bike, you become a local. Mayfer changed the itinerary so I saw new sights Japanese, French & British quarters, Arts & Crafts museum, the Pudong district and temples. You need to be comfortable on a bike, but I just followed Mayfer, and it was fine. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have already visited the city and want to do something different. Mayfer is a great guide - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly and she certainly knows her way around.
