We had a wonderful day exploring Shanghai! Jamie was very friendly and gave us many information about the city's history and culture. If you want to explore the city's main attractions in one day, this is the ideal tour!

Nuestro guía Tom excelente, nos ha explicado de forma muy amena cada sitio, nos ha llevado en un día a lo más destacado de Shanghai y hemos comido con el en un restaurante chino muy bueno. Totalmente recomendable.

Excelente tour pela belíssima cidade de Shanghai! Mary, guia profissional e experiente, mostrou-me todos os pontos mais importantes da cidade, além de, muito gentilmente, levar-me até o consulado vietnamita para tratar do visto que não havia sido emitido (e esse "extra" não estava incluído! Reflete a boa vontade e a atenção da guia com o turista!). O tour é muito interessante, culturamente muito rico e vale muito a pena! Parabéns a Mary pelo excelente trabalho! Super recomendo esse passeio!

It was super professional and interesting, I felt like I got most of Shanghai in one day (I know there's way more to see). If you only have one day, it's highly recommended.

This was such a comprehensive tour of Shanghai. You'll get to see a lot in just one day. Our guide Tom was so knowledgeable, funny and knew exactly what to don when and how! Total pro with good connections everywhere we went. Keep in mind that transportation is extra not a lot but extra. We're a family of 5 (2 teens and an 11 yo) and our guide suggested we rent a van for the day at an extra $86 USD to be more comfortable and cheaper than doing DiDi or trying to do public transportation. It worked out prefectly actually. His lunch suggestion waa delicious and authentic. Highly recommend!!

The personalized tour was the best part of my Shanghai trip - and that is all thanks to Tom! He planned the ideal tour for my group - hit every spot we wanted to see, every food we wanted to try - and his suggestions made the day better than I could have imagined. He is a wealth of knowledge and a joy to be around! He really cares that you enjoy yourself and accomplish all your vacation goals. I will book this every time I come to Shanghai- alone or with a group (and as a single female traveler that is priceless). My only complaint is that no other tour will ever measure up - so we need to clone Tom in every city!

Tom is the best tour guide ever! He designs the itinerary around what you want - using his expertise to make it perfect for you. His recommendations are spot on too- so take his suggestions! I have already booked him again for this trip! I highly recommend this if you want to get the most out of your Shanghai visit.

Our Guide Patrick and the Driver were both amazing. Patrick introduced us to the city in the best possible manner. He is very fluent in English and knows everything about the history, heritage and secret spots of the main attractions. Everything was planned according to our requirements and expectations and we had a great time! Highly recommended!

Our guide Jamie was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and full of interesting stories that brought the city to life. Everything was perfectly organized, and we truly enjoyed every moment. We left Shanghai completely enchanted and can’t wait to come back one day!
