Tom was very knowledgeable. We totally enjoyed the visit to the Yu Garden. And it was good that he drove us from spot to spot so that we could escape the heat. I highly recommend this tour.

This was an excellent tour from start to finish. My mom and I wanted to not only see the Yu Garden and French Concession, but understand the history. Combined with the Bund and Pudong, our tour guide Tom helped paint a picture of Shanghai old and new. The Yu Garden was so impressive, but Tom explaining the various details and symbolism brought the experience to a whole new level. We strolled along the Bund, and saw a part of Pudong as well. The tour ended in the French Concession, which was a perfect way to end the morning. After walking through the various streets of the French Concession my mom and I bid farewell to Tom and had a delicious lunch. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Tom was fantastic, the car we rode in was great, and we made excellent time. If you want to see the highlights of Shanghai this is a great way to do it!
