“Great Introduction to Shanghai”
We arrived in Shanghai prepared to go on Apple's regular walking tour. But, alas, it was 101 degrees outside, and some flexibility was required. Apple was entirely up to the task. We started later than planned so that half the tour was in the afternoon but mostly indoors, and half was outdoors, but in the evening. Just the same, it was a great introduction to this beautiful, vibrant city, and Apple is a lovely, intelligent, and knowledgeable host.

“Our trip was cancelled due to the typhoon. ”
Unfortunately we had to cancel due to the typhoon and our flights to China were cancelled. We hope that next time we can visit China and we will connect with gowithguide.

It’s really a pity that we are not able to do the tour. You are always welcome to China! Looking forward to showing you around in the future.
