I strongly recommend Tom Zhang private guide - Tom is super great- flexible to my personality adjusted guiding, he tought me about the history, culture, way people are living, believes and Chinese budism while visiting temples, interesting sites and topics I would not be able to find in a classic tourist tour.
He even found my mobile phone I lost and wait for me 1 h while I was shopping pearls and silk.
All with smile and good mood.

Superb Shanghai - This was an excellent tour from start to finish. My mom and I wanted to not only see the Yu Garden and French Concession, but understand the history. Combined with the Bund and Pudong, our tour guide Tom helped paint a picture of Shanghai old and new. The Yu Garden was so impressive, but Tom explaining the various details and symbolism brought the experience to a whole new level. We strolled along the Bund, and saw a part of Pudong as well. The tour ended in the French Concession, which was a perfect way to end the morning. After walking through the various streets of the French Concession my mom and I bid farewell to Tom and had a delicious lunch. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Tom was fantastic, the car we rode in was great, and we made excellent time. If you want to see the highlights of Shanghai this is a great way to do it!

The best Shanghai tour! - A fabulous tour of Shanghai. Our tour guide Alice was simply the best! She had so much knowledge and background information about Shanghai and all the sites we’ve visited. Plus, she was the friendliest and most helpful person we met here. I am so glad we went on this tour for our first visit in Shanghai.

More than the sights! - Had a wonderful experience during the half-day tour with Tom! He thoughtfully planned the route so that we experienced each attraction with minimal distraction / crowds. He was able to answer all sorts of cultural and historical questions with a great sense of pride and humor. Would certainly recommend this tour for hitting all the major sites while adding color and context you wouldn't get in seeing them alone.
