So many highlights in Shanghai… - To spend time in a city you must first learn what you are seeing. This highlights tour is a great beginning to your knowledge of this massive city. It’s both new world and old historical world all in one. Bill has loads of local knowledge and facts about a city he has been in since inception. A great start for your journey in Shanghai.

Thumbs up! - Walking along The Bund — the views were stunning. Bill, our guide, was funny and chatty. He knew a lot about the history of the area, and brought them to life with his re-tellings.

Excellent walking tour with a friendly and entertaining guide - This has personally been one of my favorite walking tours I have taken in my years of traveling. Our guide, Bill, is very informative about the city of Shanghai, however, it was his backstory and storytelling skills that made it an enriching experience for me. This is what makes the tour unique, as he combines stories of his past with the history of Shanghai and how the city is today. The tour has a fair amount of time and its not neither enduring nor exhausting. If you are in Shanghai and are looking to get insight on the Bund, and old town, all while strolling through this lovely city, do it with Bill!

Great walking tour to learn about Shanghai history - Great tour to learn about Shanghai history. The tour guide is very fluent in English and very helpful to help guide to the meeting spot. The only reason that I did not give this a five star is the fact that the guide had asked for additional tip. The way it’s communicated soured the experience for me. Given the no tip or minimal tipping culture in Shanghai, maybe tour should be priced to include tip or make the minimum tip amount a requirement and super obvious to customers.
