Jie's Walking Tour is absolutely awesome, the 2.5h flew by sooo quickly!
She passionately guided me not only to all the highlights, but also through traditional neighbourhoods and to points of interest that are easy to miss. Jie's excitement and enthusiasm are infectious, she speaks excellent English and you can tell she genuinely loves to show people around and share her extensive knowledge of the city's history and architecture. She is well-prepared, personable, and funny - it was a great pleasure to hang out with her. We even stopped a few times for delicious local street snacks she recommended!
I believe her tour is a great and engaging introduction to the city, particularly if you're strapped for time (for example, if you have a long layover.) Though, for people who are at the beginning of their trip, she has many tips to help you make the most of your stay!
Thank you Jie for sharing your knowledge, experience, and company during a rainy, but wonderful day in Shanghai! Wholeheartedly recommend her tour!
