Amazing Shanghai
![]() This is an amazing tour in an amazing city. Martin (our guide) went over and beyond to organize everything that we needed and required. He made it very flexible for us to select the right restaurants, even made sure we were seated in the right seats in the bullet train, just wow. He was very knowledgeable and spoke a lot about the things from a Chinese pov, and how to better understand it. I would always highly recommend China Highlights and Martin. Thanks more
