Show moreTrip date: October 2025 - ECEugene· September 16th, 2024We have a tremendous time. Everything was on schedule. For the short amount of time, we were able to go and see so many amazing places. The guides and drivers in both cities were wonderful and courteous. The tour guides spoke perfect English, so they looked after us well. They took us to different entrances of popular places to by-pass the huge line-ups. We are grateful to our Shanghai guide, William, and the driver, they went out of their way to book and to take our daughter to the hospital in Shanghai. She had a fall and had hurt her shoulder. The tour agent, Thang, was amazing, she helped organizing and keeping our documents on track, to ensure that all our documents were in proper order. She also kept communication with us and to inform us about everything. She has been super helpful throughout the process. When we had an incident just before the tour, she went out of her way to ensure that all is fine. It was much appreciated.Show moreRealistic Asia commented on this reviewDear Eugene Cheung, Thank you so much for your kind words!
