What My Travellers Write

Happy customer on Off the Beaten Path Shanghai tour

Jin gave an incredible insider’s tour of Shanghai. We visited hidden gems like local neighborhoods near Nanjing Road, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the fascinating Propaganda Museum—even locals didn’t know about it! She also helped me get to my next appointment. If you want to experience the real Shanghai beyond the guidebooks, book Jin’s Off the Beaten Path Tour!

We enjoyed our time with Jin showing us the Bund, Shanghai Tower, and Yuan Gardens. Her communication with us was excellent, detailing our schedule ahead of time through WeChat and email. Her English is great! She took us to the food places we wanted to try: bian jie pancake and large soup dumpling. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy and cloudy in the morning, so our view on the observatory floor was not as clear as we would have liked. (not her fault). Her knowledge of the Yuan Gardens was detailed and thorough.

Jin was incredibly flexible and accommodating, even meeting me at my hotel after a delayed flight. We explored the pedestrian street, took a scenic Bund cruise, and later visited Yellow Mountain—she handled all the logistics and made everything stress-free. Her deep knowledge, fluent English, and open, engaging conversation made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!
