    I’ve done several Viator city tours around the world, and this has to be one of the best ones. My guide Sammy was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. She even took me to somewhere I requested that was off the agenda. I’d strongly recommend this tour and tour guide to others.

    We had a great experience with Shirley. She took us around to all attractions with a great spirit and was very attentive to our needs (for instance, my wife is vegan and she took us to a wonderful vegan restaurant). She was very knowledgeable of Shangai's history and the background of each site visited. All of that with a very good English! Would certainly recommend it!

    Great way to experience Shanghai! Definitely recommend starting your trip with this tour. Our tour guide Ruby was one of the highlights of our entire trip — taking us on a journey that catered to our interests. We chose to skip the Jing’an Temple (our hotel was only two blocks away, so we could do that anytime) during the tour. Besides hitting up places for jade, silk and tea, we also learned about the evolution of Shanghai over the last decade.
