About Me

Dear Travelers,

Thanks for finding me here. I am a professional tour guide based in Shanghai. I am also intimately familiar with its nearby cities such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Nanjing.

I am from Sanming, Fujian Province, which is a beautiful city surrounded by green mountains and small rivers. Because of my upbringing, I have the inner-strength and calm of the mountains and the sweet and delicate grace of the brooks. During my childhood, I lived with my grandfather which taught me to become a good listener to wise people around me. I have the gentle ability to get along with people from all walks of life.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Tourism University and already have 7 years experience of being a professional tour guide. I love and enjoy this occupation. Being a professional tour guide enables me to meet and make new friends from all around the world and learn about them and their cultures. In return, I am so happy to introduce my country to everyone who wants to learn about my culture.

I lived in USA for almost three years. Because of my love of travel, I have visited many cities and seen many wonderful sites. I also visited Europe a few times as well. From this background, I have a better understanding of what foreign guests would like their China experience to be. My clients tell me I speak English very fluently with a robust vocabulary, due to my time spend in USA.

Whether for a slow relaxed tour or a fast-paced adventure, as your patient and loyal guide and friend, I prefer to help you spend a happy and memorable holiday in China. Once, one of my tourist friends said to me: Tifa, you always smile to us, we really like and enjoy it, sweet but straightforward, because of your good faith, we are also infected, you are a trusted friend!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will reply promptly!

Thank you with my best wishes & love!

Tifa Wu

Hi

We booked Tifa for a few days tour of Shanghai. She was very good and always on time. She taught us to use the subway system and was always happy to write out addresses for taxis when we wanted to travel alone. She helped us select meals we would eat and enjoy. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and we had a fantastic time. Tifa made sure everything was well organised and didn't take us to the tourist shops. I would thoroughly recommend her for a tour of Shanghai.

I had the pleasure of staying in Shanghai for three days in March 2013.


I met with Tifa the Second day of the trip ,and that`s when it really started.
All the alleys , the sights, different location and parts of the city.
She really knows her way around in Shanghai ,how to get in touch with people and show all the nice attraction the city have to offer. Also all the good food!

Her English is fluent and she is great to communicate with. Which is really a skill I appreciate, when I`m out traveling ,especially in China.

Shes also very easy to trust,and helpful!

I can definitely recommend Tifa as your Guide in shanghai ( She also knows a lot about other places as well) You will have a great time and experience a lot!!!

 

"Photos as a hobby"
I`m Interested in taking pictures and Tifa knows quite many nice locations for the unforgettable vacation and tourist memories.

My family booked Tifa for Shanghai and Nanjing 3 days tour in Jan. Smooth journey.She took us to visit some amusing place such as Shanghai Tianzifang and Nanjing Jiuhuashan Pagoda to view whole Lake. So quiet and peaceful. We tasted Crab Tangbao in Shanghai and the "Vermicelli Duck Soup" in Nanjing. Zeze... My little son is so like her and want to kiss her every day. After the trip, Tifa even called me to ask how about our Guilin tour and my son stop cough or not.  Very good guide and so kind.

Thank you again and thanks for Shanghai drive Mr Wang. He is also a humor man and so fat. Haha...

Good luck for both of you.

How do I start? I decided to come to Shanghai to have a look at some famous places that I missed from my last trip in China. Tifa is a very brave, smart and experienced tour guide. She knows a lot about China, and her level of English is very good for someone who did not study outside China. Although Tifa was younger than me, she has special characteristics of "I look after you mother" nature, and the ability to empathize and read what her client wants. This is the attractive characteristic that I believe Tifa has, therefore, I rejected other tour guides and choose Tifa as my number 1 choice for tour guide. She is more than a guide, but a friend to her clients. To me, she is my younger sister, and I could not have thought of a better tour guide than her. I recommend anyone who needs a good tour guide to give her a go. She is well worth it! Thanks Tifa, you are the best!

Tifa is a wonderful person and a fantastic guide, and thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the most of Shanghai in October 2012, during the Mid-Autumn festival. I contacted her by e-mail, and sent the places I wanted to visit. It was the first day of the mid-autumn festival, so it was really crowded (I have never seen so many people on the streets), but Tifa managed to take us to the YuBazaar and move right to the YuYuan Garden without problem. Then she took us to a great restaurant near by, to enjoy a very tasty Shanghai lunch, and we moved on to Tian Zi Fang and Xi Tian Di (both are great places, but I enjoyed Tian Zi Fang more. Don't miss it!). She helped us with the subway as well. The next day, she took us to Zhu Jia Jiao ancient watertown, which is another great place that you cannot miss, and she really knows about.

I really recommend Tifa. Thank you!

I was planning a 2 week business trip to Shanghai, my first trip to China, and I wanted to spend the weekend seeing the city to learn how the people of Shanghai spent their time.  I also wanted to visit Suzhou to see the gardens and the rivers.  I found Tifa's profile on this website and sent her an e-mail to see if she would be available to be my guide for the weekend.  She responded right away and after exchanging a few e-mails she had a very good idea of what I wanted to experience during our two days.  Tifa met me at my hotel right on time and we spent two very busy days seeing everything I had asked to see.  Tifa is a charming young lady who is very knowledgable and was so kind and patient with me.  I bet she would be fantastic with young children as well.  Her English is excellent and Tifa was therefore able to provide me detailed information about the sites we visited, especially the Budhist temple where Tifa gave me a lesson on the history of Budhism.  She was so cheerful and fun to be with that the two days slipped by before I knew it.  I highly recommend asking Tifa to be your guide if you are visiting Shanghai for business or pleasure.  You will have a wonderful time and if you are nice she may even bring you some wonderful pastries from her auntie's bakery!
