This is our first visit to Shanghai and this was a great relaxing tour.of the Watertown of Zhujiajiao. Out guide Robert was great — he greeted us in our hotel lobby and provided some background on Shanghai on our way to Zhujiajiao. Once we arrived, Robert provided background on the town, knowledgeably showed us many sites and lead us on stroll that allowed us to take in the town at our chosen pace. There were lots of interesting shops throughout the town. We finished with a boat ride back through the canals. It was a wonderful day and beautiful, relaxed setting and we greatly appreciated Robert guiding us during the day. Highly recommended.
