I have been to Shanghai several times, yet this day tour made me appreciate more the culture and the development of one of the most beautiful cities in China. Our guide is very fluent in English and explained the history and development of Shanghai. Recommending this trip to all.

Alena was terrific. She knows Shangahi. This is a full day excursion with walking. The Shanghai Art museum is just one of the stops for 1 hour. Of course, its too short, but this is an overview. So you need to pace & time yourself in the museum so you get it overall. One could get stuck in the Chinese bronzes for three days. Tu Garden is also interesting AND a good shopping experience. I would change the lunch location.

Over all the tor was good but the following areas of improvement can be considered Instead of visiting the Bund in the afternoon, evening visit should be preferred as the evening lights can be seen, The tour guide should ensure that the tourist follow strict timelines. In my tour there were only three of us. My self and one elderly couple. After lunch the tour guide took us to a pearl show room and the elderly couple was allowed to spend unlimited time in the showroom for shopping. More than one hour was wasted on this.

Tom is a good guide. Full of information, dates, facts and figures. We visited the Shanghai Museum, three different temples, a silk factory, the jade and pearl center and a large open air flea market/mall area and the Bund. Every stop is an opportunity to shop, but I really felt it in the silk and jade shops. The shop workers hovering, pointing out sales and making suggestions. The tour group was less than 10 people which was great.

I was the only person on this tour. The transport was over 30 minutes late, so I would have expected a call to say they were on their way. In fact the Concierge at the pick up hotel called for me, got the driver’s number then called him. Traffic was bad, as it often is in Shanghai, but it shouldn’t have been me doing the calling. The places we went were really interesting. I would have liked longer at the Shanghai Museum and the Jade Buddha Temple, the Bund etc. Because I was the only passenger we moved faster than a group would so time at stops could have been extended. In fact, despite the late start, I was back at the hotel by about 15.40. What was disappointing were the visits to the pearl centre, the silk factory etc. These were thinly disguised (expensive) selling opportunities, with very little actual information and interesting facts provided. Frank, the guide, was knowledgeable if uncharismatic.

This was a long day but our guide was knowledgeable and confident. He didn't hurry us and answered all the questions he was asked. We had time for photos and to examine museum exhibits etc for ourselves. We found the trip to the Silk Factory fascinating and the Tea Tasting session was most enjoyable. An excellent lunch was included. We would never have seen all these things by ourselves so totally recommend this tour.
