“My bike tour around Shanghai was great! The tour guide Mayfer was fantastic, she had so much enthusiasm, love for Shanghai and doing the tour. Her attitude is fantastic and she was great company on the cycle. She provided plenty of information, history and stories about Shanghai. I thought that it would be scary cycling around the busy streets but mayfer was very cautious of traffic and the safety of who she was guiding. Great way to get out and about and too see Shanghai like the locals. Would definately recommend this tour and the guide.”
