Shanghai with Karen.

Karen was our guide in Shanghai, she was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable. She really listened to what we would like to do and went above and beyond to take us to different places that we greatly enjoyed.

Thank you Mulan!

Our tour of Shanghai was fantastic. We enjoyed all of the sites on the city tour and the ancient water town. Mulan was an amazing guide and we especially appreciate the birthday celebration she planned for Mary! Thank you Mulan!

Like family in Shanghai!

Mulan is the best guide with very warm personality. She made sure our family of 19 were taken cared of every step of the way. We went Christmas time and even though she was Christian and couldn't spend time with family, she treated ours as her own. She even prepared very thoughtful gifts for each person!
