What To Expect

Begin your tour with a visit to the lush and beautiful Yu Yuan Garden, a classic creation of the Ming dynasty. Travel on to explore the ancient Shanghai Old Street, which originated during the Qing dynasty. Shanghai’s waterfront, otherwise known as the Bund on the scenic Huangpu River, offers local culture, sights, and sounds, as well as soaring skyline views at the International Architecture Exhibition. The tour takes full advantage of Shanghai's incredible Museum of Ancient Chinese Art. Home to a collection of over 120,000 precious and rare works in 21 categories, this is the most remarkable cultural institution in the city. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the ancient Chinese and the significant works of art displayed there. After lunch, enjoy the view as you drive along the former French Concession. A tour of Shanghai would not be complete without the next stop, the Jade Buddha Temple with its priceless and extraordinary Burmese jade statues. Your final stop will be Xin Tian Di, a stylish and exciting nightlife district boasting many boutiques, pubs, and restaurants. Choose to stay and play here onyour own, or take a return trip to your hotel.

Tom had great communication leading up to the tour and was punctual upon our arrival at PVG. He was friendly to talk to and showed us around the Bund for the beginning of our tour. We learned a lot about Chinese history. Tom then introduced us to our next guide, Qi, and she was fantastic! She truly added to our experience and was a lot of fun to spend ~8 hours with. She was able to quickly cater the tour to our interests (food!) and time allowance, constantly making valuable changes to our itinerary on the fly. I highly recommend this tour if you are on a layover at PVG!

Tom was such an awesome guide. He picked us up at our hotel right on time, drove us carefully everywhere, spoke amazing English, and was just full of so much information. Being a local, he had so many great insights and stories about all the places he took us to see. I am so glad that we went on this tour and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Tom to any of my family and friends who might be in the Shanghai area. He's a fantastic guide and feels like an old friend!

I just had one day Shanghai tour with Tom yesterday, and very happy with it. Tom speaks English fluently. He is friendly, super nice, reliable, and has a vast knowledge of all tourists' destinations in Shanghai. He also helped me to navigate the markets, finding the items that i had been looking for. It's truly kind of him. Thanks to John for giving me an impressive lunch by taking me to a good restaurant, only known by the locals. It's hard to find a guided tour when traveling solo with a reasonable price But Tom has made his very affordable, the most affordable on trip advisor Overall, i have received an excellent service and a pleasant experience. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is interested in checking out shanghai.

We only had one day in Shanghai. Tom met us at the cruise terminal, showed us some highlights of Shanghai (including an excellent lunch stop) and dropped us at the airport in the evening. He is extremely interesting, knowledgeable, professional and friendly and we'd highly recommend a tour with Tom.
