Dear guest : Welcome to Shanghai. My name is Qinqin and I am a licensed English-speaking national tour guide. I graduated in 2007 with English education and toursim major. After graduation, I moved to Shanghai and work as an export sales in a Taiwanese company which allows me to have a good understanding of international trades. Since 2010 the year of Shanghai World Expo, I started to work as a freelancer and provide private tour guide service and business translation & interpretation services. After work and live in Shanghai more than decades, I have gained an in-depth knowledge of the local history and culture and i'd love to share with every guest. I am specialized in operating private and customized tours in and around Shanghai including Shanghai city tour ; water town tours ( Zhujiajiao tour, Zhouzhuang tour, Tongli tour, Xitang tour, Nanxun tour, Wuzhen tour etc ) ; Suzhou city tour ; Hangzhou city tour; Yellow Mountain tour, etc for solo travelers, families, friends group, company groups. etc . Most guests comment my tours " like traveling with a close friend or a family member". Besides, I also offer business translation & interpretation service for exhibitions, factory visits and business meetings. sourcing, market research, business negotiation, business trip planing service. Also we have a group of professional drivers who are prompt, courteous and drive well-maintained vehicles and who can provide private transfer service for your Shanghai trip such as airports/train stations transfer, business trip to surrounding areas around Shanghai, day out around Shanghai etc. I am a happy , positive , caring and passionate person. I love traveling to see different parts of the world that I believes it is one of the important things in life: travel broadens the mind and enriches the soul. My proud moment is when clients call me "Shanghai ambassador " and "walking encyclopedia ". Travel with me, let's begin your unforgettable travel experience.

What a fabulous time we had in Shanghai. 4 weeks in China and Kathy arranged a perfect itinerary to meet our wishes making our last 2 days in Shanghai perfect in every way. There are not enough superlatives to describe Shanghai. Even the sun came out and brightened our days. We cannot recommend Kathy and this tour more highly. Thank you so very much.

Qinquin G. knew we only had one day in Shanghai to really get the flavor of the city and people and she gave us quite the experience! From strolling through the parks, to visiting the Marriage Market, to a great meal (Michelin starred!) and lots of history (where Chairman Mao founded the Communist Party) . While we only had 8 hours, we were given the best and even managed to enjoy a tea service and a bit of shopping! Highly recommend this tour!

Our day with Qinqin was superb! We visited every place on our list and she provided us with great overviews of each location. Our day included a visit to the French Concession, Old Town (lunch stop at wonderful restaurant in Yuyuan Garden), Pudong (trip to the top of Shanghai Tower), and finally the Bund with a walk up Nanjing Pedestrian Street. The tour included a driver who also did a great job in finding good pickup and drop off spots. Qinqin’s excellent planning made it possible for us to see all the places on our list and to do it without feeling rushed. We totally recommend Qinqin to anyone wanting to visit the many stunning places in Shanghai.
