Great experience with the tour

The tour was excellent. Bill is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Shanghai. Every place he took us to, he’d tell interesting stories of the place. The arrangement of the itinerary was also good as we stayed near the Yu garden, he started the tour with Yu garden as it closes at 4. Ended the tour with Zhujiajiao.
Perfect one day overview of Shanghai

Our family had a wonderful day with Bill. He was extremely knowledgeable and pitched the tour perfectly. We saw enough highlights of Shanghai to give us a good overview but without boring our teenager. The trip to Zhujiajiao was well worth the drive. The boat ride was a perfect approach to the town followed by a delicious lunch of Shanghai soup dumplings - then just enough historic sights before returning to our hotel. Can’t recommend Bill more highly - truly our best tour in China yet!
Personal Hidden Gem

If you are tired of the fast paced nonstop impersonal tours everyone seems to be offering nowadays, then this is the hidden gem you are looking for. You can go on this day tour based on the set itinerary or even make changes as to your own preferences. We got to see filming locations of Ang Lee's Lust Caution, sample authentic local foods where locals actually eat, go to a nearby water town not filled with locals and not tourists, admire the serenity of Yu Gardens, walk along the Bund and it's beautiful skyline and even have a Shanghai fried soup dumpling dinner. All at a more personal, slower pace where we got to enjoy and appreciate the beauty that Shanghai locals get to see on a daily basis. Pick up and Drop off at Airport is much appreciated too - no guessing what trains or buses to take to meet up with your tour.

The tour was excellent, Bill went out of his way to accommodate us. We were at a hotel far from the city center in Shanghai. He picked us up on time and we were able to visit all the sights we wanted to see. If you want to visit Water town he is the best guide you’ll find in Shanghai. We can’t thank him enough for giving us our best day in China.
