What better way to explore this great city than by having an indigenous inhabitant tell you stories about the history and evolution of this great city!

Traveled to multiple countries, Wish to share my native city and help people discover the best-kept secrets that have made me love this city myself!
The French Concession is the area of Shanghai that French government administered from 1849-1943. The tree-lined avenues and the many fine old houses still retain an air of the "Paris of the East". In particular, the many wrought iron fences and stair railings will look alike Paris.

The French Quarter alive and well in Shanghai!

5.00The French may have been here and moved on but their legacy lives on. Tree lined boulevards abound the area of interest, with thankfully many historic buildings preserved. The feel of the area with a slight oriental influence makes it a quarter to linger. Bill is so full of fantastic knowledge and local experiences that any time spent with him is time well spent.

5.00We had the best tour guide, Bill! He was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Bill provided just the right amount of information on the district’s history, behind-the-scenes stories, and insights into the current economy and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned so much from him. Aloha and Mahalo! 💕

5.00I had such a great time on this tour! Bill was the perfect tour guide, knowledgeable and funny, with lots of interesting facts and personal anecdotes. The tour was about 2.5hrs long but with lots of breaks to sit down. I thought it was great value for money, much less expensive than many of the other tours and just as much fun! I am a solo female traveller and felt very comfortable on it. Bill sent the details of the meeting place in advance by WhatsApp including a picture so that I knew where to go. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00I am so glad that we took this tour with Bill. Bill is knowledgeable and engaging. As a native Shanghainese, he got the inside scoop. We learned a lot about Shanghai’s history and appreciate this city more now. In addition, it was a very pleasant walk in the French Concession.
Awesome tour of another side of Shanghai

5.00We did a last minute booking of this French Concession tour with Bill because our morning tour guide did not turn up, grrr... ;( However this tour more than made up for our earlier disappointment! Bill was entertaining, informative as we spent about 2 1/2 hours navigating the lesser-known parts of Shanghai, from how the French spent their early years here and how this has influenced so many beautiful parts of this city. Without Bill's narrative we would have walked past those historical buildings without knowing the history behind it! Highly recommended to those who want to see beyond Shanghai Disneyland, and all the other touristy places! :)
Bill was amazing...
