Important note:
In Shanghai we only book the comfortable hotel for you. Our listed
itinerary is just for your reference, which is not included in our
package tour price. Shanghai is an international metropolis with modern
transportations to be easily accessed, and English is widely used, so it
is quite convenient to find the way to your destinations, there's no need
to have a guide and private car according to our experiences. Thus, to
save the cost for you, we, TravelChinaGuide, would like to leave this
part on your own. Particularly, we have made a sketch map for the
suggested itinerary. Hope it helps. Alternatively, if you want to avoid
being a little bit adventurous and enjoy your stay in Shanghai in a
sit-back manner, we are also glad to make arrangements for you. Your tour
specialists will quote you the price for this part upon your requirements.
Differences can be only made by comparison. Our Making a Difference page
for all private tours will let you know extra benefits we offer over and
above those on tours available from other operators. We welcome
suggestions and comparison as to ways in which we can further improve our
tours. Thank you for considering Travel China Guide and we warmly invite
you to join us for a truly unforgettable experience!
