Lovely walking tour. Great way to see bits of Shanghai that you wouldn't see in a bus. This walking tour gives you more if a feeling to the place. Bill our guide, who is a local, made the tour more memorable due to his history of the place. Also gave us tips on what and where to try in relation to some local eateries. Definitely recommend it
Very interesting stories about the history of China! Highly recommend!
Fantastic tour - thank you Bill!
Bill, un guide qui a une grande capacité à ouvrir le débat sur des sujets sociétaux. Capable de rentrer dans les thèmes qui intéressent vraiment les visiteurs étrangers . Un excellent guide.
Bill was clearly very well versed in this and was catering to the whole audience (e.g. we had children present in the group, so he slowed down for them). There was so much to see and understand about Shanghai, although I had a bit of prior knowledge I enjoyed finding out lots! 10/10 would recommend this tour. Thank you 💖
Miranda was great very lively and made the tour fun educational and interesting! She does a great job of bringing historic Beijing to life while mixing in her personal experience as a local to the city. 10/10 would recommend
Amazing! It gave me a broader perspective of the city with historical insights experienced directly by th guide (Bill). Super recommended, you will not regret it!
