We would have liked to see more of Shanghai, rather than Jade/Pearl and Silk museum. We booked the trip to see the country not local trades and would have liked to spend more time at these attractions rather than rushing

Was the first thing I did when I landed in Shanghai, and was a great way to quickly get acclimated with the city. Would highly recommend to all first time visitors.

Great day, all went well, We got to see so much in our very short stay in Shanghai. Everyone was very helpful and the tour guide spoke perfect English. It was extremely well organized and everything went like clockwork. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

I only wish we had booked a full day! Our traveling companions were terrific, the guide and driver were excellent. We had some great shopping opportunities. The city is beautiful, and this tour was a great way to be introduced to it. Recommended!

Quite a lot packed into this half day - interesting and gave us a good overview in a brief time.

The young man who guided us on this tour was top class. Excellent English delivering explanations at just the right pace. Constantly looked over his shoulder to make sure we were all there.
Review by: Cris C, September 2017
We were given a terribly inexperienced tour guide. She didn't know how to control or lead a group. It was likely deliberate as well. 80 of the 3 hour tour was spent on pearl and silk shops waiting . We were dumped in the shops to encourage us to spend instead of sitting around. _br/_ the tour guide was memorizing off a script. She just breezed us through the real tourist destinations we paid for. The most laughable was at Xintiandi. We got off on one side of the district then walked across the shops and restos. Presto, done in 5 mins and we're off back to our hotels.LOL!

We chose this tour to see temple as and the museum in the morning_br/_ The tour guide was really ill and should not have started the tour._br/_ We were lucky to see the museum but didn't get to see much more as the guide told us he needed to go to hospital and we arranged for the driver to return and pick us up but this did not happen and we had to walk about 5kilometres to get back to our hotel

I enjoyed my tour. My guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The only comment I have about the tour was the museum line was too long so I had to skip that part of the tour. The guide replaced that with another activity to make up for it.

This was exactly the type of tour I was looking for, so I gave it five stars! This is a half-day option of a full-day tour, and I'm really glad that I only did the half-day options instead of the full day. I think the full-day is a great option if you prefer guided tours, but it is a long day and can be very tiring, especially during the summer when it's blazing hot. I wanted a tour that gave me a glance at the major sites in Shanghai but lef me time in my day to go explore on my own, so I booked the afternoon tour for my first day in Shanghai, and the mornings no tour for the next day. For the afternoon tour, Frank was my guide, and for the morning tour, Alina was my guide. Both of them were very friendly, patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Both were highly competent English speakers but were also Shanghai locals and were able to speak about their personal experiences growing up in Shanghai and watching all of the architecture shoot up around them. Both of them met me on time in my hotel lobby, and were transparent about the itinerary. I had great conversations with them - they are interested in learning about their tourists so that they can find points of connection for your throughout the tour.

Very friendly and informative tour guide. However, not as well put together as I would have hoped for a half day. Did not get to see the museum because the lines were too long and we got there too late and the half day lasted less than 3 hours because the lack of museum threw off the entire day.
