Tom was extremely knowledgeable as he took us through the Zu Garden, French Concession and the Bund. He was super helpful with photos. I walk with a cane and Tom was extremely helpful and caring in insuring that I was comfortable.

Pleasant way to get an overview of Shanghai for the first-time visitor.
Our group was small. We had a new, clean, comfortable van.
Our guide was knowledgeable.
A pretty fun time

I would rate this higher but the driver was a pain. I really enjoyed our guide but the driver made me feel like my kids were a huge burden. The line for the shanghai museum was super long because of the holiday so we decided to skip that. Our guide took us to the silk factory instead and that was quite a treat for my children and for me too! Overall we really enjoyed our morning tour. I’d recommend it.
