Explore Shanghai with the real local squad
Why Choose Us
We are The Real Locals.
See the city through the eyes of those who know it best. We skip the tourist traps to offer you authentic experiences, immersing you in the vibrant culture and hidden gems that guidebooks often miss.
We commit to telling the authentic China story.
We go beyond simple sightseeing to weave the narrative of the city’s past and present. Our guides are storytellers who connect you deeply with the history, legends, and local lives behind the landmarks.
We’re not just multilingual — we speak business.
Together, we cover Mandarin, Shanghainese, English, French, and German. Beyond language ability, all of us come from business backgrounds with years of experience in international companies, allowing us to bring solid business perspectives into every conversation.
We personalize your experience.
No two travelers are alike, and neither are our tours. Whether you're solo, with family, or in a group, we tailor the itinerary to match your pace and interests, ensuring a journey that feels uniquely yours.
Shanghai Souvenirs at your door step
We help you order the Shanghai souvenirs you want to bring back home, and get them delivered to your door-step, while you get to enjoy Shanghai with our tours.

"Xiaowei did a great job. We had him by ourselves for 4 hours and could ask many questions. We learned a lot. I highly recommend."

"First of all, I have to say that every tour depends on its guides. When it comes to the Tech Tour, I have to say that we had a great team with Larry and Alicia. They always looked after us. That's why the tour flew by so quickly. The content of the tour was also really impressive. Testing an autonomous vehicle in Shanghai traffic was fantastic. Thank you for that.
