Comprehensive trip to the beautiful canal-filled ‘original’ Shanghai. Bill is a very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable guide. It was great to be able to ask questions about both old and new China, and lunch was best dumplings ever!

We had a wonderful tour with Bill and enjoyed it thoroughly. He is an outstanding guide; knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, Bill made everything effortless, organizing the tour and arranging transportation with perfect efficiency. Everything ran smoothly, just like clockwork. Our visit to Zhujiajiao was a highlight and truly unforgettable. As Bill said, “This town is the authentic face of Shanghai,” and we couldn’t agree more. We highly recommend both the tour and Bill as a guide!
