China question

[Mayriver]

Can anyone recommend a tour company that can reliably organise and book private tours out of Shanghai? We are looking to do Xian , Guilin and water towns around Shanghai. Thanks

i have e-mailed a friend of mine in Shanghai who runs a tour company to see if he has any free dates. When are you going to be there? His tours are absolutely fantastic and reasonably priced but he gets booked up. Stay in touch.

I asked my friend if he does special tours and here is his response.

 

He is a well known journalist who runs specialized tours in Shanghai. His specialty is tours of Jewish Shanghai and other ethnic areas. His tours are tailored to your desires though. If you are interested i will send you his email address. DW

 

Follows are the tours I am offering. Usually in Cruise days I am very busy. If there is a big group and I have no

prior bookings I can do something for them.

Cruise pax usually takes a full day with me.

Full day can be 8-9hrs.

 

The tour is price is 400 RMB per person with minimum of six participants that day. [usually tours are not exclusive].

Covered in the price are transportation, entry fees, and charity.

Transportation ordered according to the size of the group.

Tours normally begin at 10:00 am. Tours are offered every day of the week, rain or shine,
