Jasmine offered so much insight and shared personal stories to help us better understand the housing situation in Hong Kong. This was incredibly interesting and helped everyone to grasp a fuller picture of life here beyond the glitzy waterfront. Thank you so much, Jasmine!

Very insightful look into what daily life is like for a lot of Hong Kong citizens. Jasmine did an excellent job breaking down what life looks like in various settings. This is a great way to explore what HK is like behind the glamorous Harbor, towering ICC, expensive malls, and other landmarks.

Sofia was an amazing guide, thank you so much

Booked the Tiananmen Square, Forbidden city, Temple of Heaven tour and it was an amazing day made great by Lydia our tour guide.The booking process was straightforward online. The information provided by email was very precise and accurate.On the morning of the tour we met with our group and with Lydia the tour guide who kindly guided us through the whole process of the day. We initially visited Tianamen Square and here Lydia was very informative and helped ease the process of the checks that occur. Having Lydia here made the whole process very easy and straightforward. When we visited the forbidden city the information Lydia provided was so descriptive that it felt like you could imagine how the emperor’s lived during their time there. Lydia as a tour guide is excellent and provided the information at an appropriate amount and level. As well as this Lydia provided break opportunities to get drinks as well photos at specific sites and areas.Overall the entire day was amazing and I would definitely encourage people to book this online for ease and if you have the opportunity to meet Lydia as a tour guide she’s fantastic and made our visit such a great and pleasurable memory.

What a day out with our guide May, such deep knowledge, with information shared with such passion and care. We all learnt so much, and the tour gave us a far deeper experience than we ever could’ve imagined. May was such a lovely person and very generous guide. Patient with questions and when we needed a break from the sun, she accommodated. Would higher recommend this tour.

Our food tour through Shanghai with Yanny was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious, and memorable culinary adventure, you will love it. We sampled an incredible variety of dishes, including the delicious pineapple bun, classic soup dumplings and spicy mapo tofu. Our guide flawlessly navigated us from classics like savory Cantonese-style roast meats to bold street food - including crickets. The juicy lamb skewers were a crowd-pleaser, paired perfectly with soft and warm scallion pancakes. Awesome experience. Highly recommended!

Our food tour with Yanny was the highlight of my first visit to Shanghai. From start to finish, she showed a genuine passion for Chinese provincial food culture.The standout moments for me were the lamb kebabs, combined with a great local beer. Not to be outdone by trying spiced Locusts for the first time. Places and dishes I would never have been brave enough to try solo.While I am sincerely full after the trip, I would definitely go again! And 1000% recommend to anyone.

Max is was incredibly knowledgeable! Had a great time trying and learning about breakfast foods in Shanghai. Got to try so many different foods 👏 still thinking about the scallion pancake

Our guide Jenny and driver were amazing! The summer palace was beautiful and our guide had so much knowledge to share with us throughout the day. She knew all the best sites and tips for seeing things at each location. The lunch spot was incredible as well! Definitely recommend doing this private tour to get the most out of your day and have a truly authentic experience with a knowledgeable guide.

The guide (Cindy) was incredible and the group was a lot of fun. We ate loads of very tasty food in places where you otherwise wouldn’t go so quickly. Just great positive vibes all around - even the Tuktuk drivers (2 were women) were lovely

Overall the tour was well organized, there was plenty of time for pictures and hiking a part of the wall , the guide Susie was excellent and gave us a lot of information about the History of China and today's China . Lunch was very good. Would recommend the tour with no reservations.

We had a wonderful visit to the Great Wall with our guide Jenny. A nice, clean car picked us up and we had a smooth drive to the Great Wall. Everything went smoothly thanks to Jenny’s organisation and we really enjoyed visiting the wall. We got some great photos! We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed my tour, our guide Max did a great job explaining the food and parts of the culture in Shanghai. I also appreciated his recommendations for other things to do in the area.

Had a great experience visiting the Terracotta Warriors! Jeff was very helpful and responsive while organising, and Vila was an excellent guide — very knowledgeable, shared lots of interesting details and answered all my questions.

Michael Shi is knowledgeable guide.

This was a great mix of food we'd had on our radar (like lamb skewers and liangpi noodles) and dishes we hadn't expected (like eight treasures zhou and gourd chicken), not to mention a nice mix of local drinks. Neveah was a wonderful guide and gave us ample cultural background. Excited for our next Lost Plate tour!
