My first tour while on my 2nd day at Shanghai. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Bill was my guide who messaged the night before to arrange the pick up and meeting point. Bill was on time, he speaks great English, is very friendly and outgoing. I learnt a lot about China from Bill on our ride to Zhujiajiao water town. The boat ride was great, I enjoyed walking through the ancient town. The garden was fascinating. We walked past Hanfu costume shops and I mentioned how I wanted to dress up. Bill was accomodating and I was able to get Hanfu dressup and professional photography. He waited patiently, held my bags and translated for me. We had lunch, the dumplings were delicious. Bill gave me a souvenir to take home, a cotton carry bag with a picture his daughter drew when she was young. That was a sweet gesture. I highly recommend this tour or having Bill as your guide. Loveliest man. Would be joining him on other tours when I’m back in Shanghai. Thank you Bill for such a lovely day I’ll always cherish!!!

I had the most incredible time exploring Zhujiajiao with Bill as my tour guide. His extensive knowledge, friendly inviting demeanor and exceptional English were just what I needed for my solo exploration day. Thanks for a wonderful time, Bill!

Excellent tour of the Venice of Shanghai. Bill was an exceptional tour guide - Shanghai native, historian, patient, and kind. My husband and I had a wonderful day. If you have an afternoon when visiting Shanghai and want to get out of the city, I highly recommend this tour.

Bill was an excellent guide and his English is very good. He met us at the cruise terminal in Shanghai with a private car and driver. We drove to Zhujiajiao and first took a boat ride on the canals. We got off in town and explored the interesting street shops and walked over stone bridges. Bill paid our admission to a beautiful garden in the town and introduced us to some delicious fried dumplings at a local restaurant. After several hours, our driver took us back to the shop. It was a terrific day. Highly recommend!
