This is a great tour of the Shanghai highlights! There is a lot of walking involved, and we'll worth the effort! Our guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent tour, our guide Tom was super friendly and had a lot of knowledge of everything!! Strongly recommend this tour and specially Tom, but the lunch wasn’t good at all, they need to change the restaurant, they are so many great restaurants around, that is a shame that they took us to this one, we had a dinner the night before for 56 rmb = 8us$ for two people and was great !
