    The tour guide is very professional and knowledgeable. She was able to engage her audience and provide detailed explanation to many of the places of interest throughout the E-tour. Highly recommended.

    Our guide was energetic, knowledgeable and funny. We had a great tour!

    It felt like we were walking with our guide, Lily, as she made her way along the river to old town on a sunny Sunday morning in Shanghai. She described some notable buildings across the water, told us about the things we were seeing, showed us how parks and open space are used by the community—lots of people exercising and dancing and talking, took us down alleys and on the 9-Turns Bridge in the old town and past very old shops, and answered lots of questions. We hope to visit Shanghai in person one day! (In the future, some of us might like to go on another virtual tour/s focusing on the history—to learn in more depth about the development of the area, learn about the architecture, visit Yu garden, and hear more stories about individual buildings.)
