Great Shanghai tour guide - We found Tom on TripAdvisor and reached out to him for our family trip in June 2024. He replied via email and was very helpful in coming up with an itinerary for us. He was always very responsive to whatever questions we had before the trip. Our trip was great! Tom and the driver were always punctual to meet us and very patient and accommodating to our requests. He is very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information on the places he brought us to. Tom is great with both old folks and kids; we all enjoyed his company. We would definitely recommend Tom to our family and friends who are going to Shanghai!

Great way to see Shanghai in a short time! - What an incredible trip. We only had a day in Shanghai and wanted to maximise our time. Seeing the water town was phenomenal and the boat ride was lovely. Then seeing Shanghai's main attractions including doing a traditional tea ceremony was really special. Definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to pack a lot into a day.

An amazing experience! - Had a really great time with Tom on our trip. Firstly he reached out to me via WhatsApp prior to the trip to find out if we have any questions. He reached the hotel on time. The drive was relaxing and easy. The tour felt very comfortable and not rushed. We had time to do things that we wanted to do and Tom was able to communicate clearly in English. He accommodated us as much as he could and nothing was ever an issue. I would definitely book with him again. Cheers, Matt

Great private driver in Shanghai! - I booked a private driver service with Tom and his colleague Aming for a week while I was in Shanghai for a work trip. Both were extremely friendly and provided amazing service, making the transportation around Shanghai both easy and efficient! I would definitely book with Tom again in the future if I ever visit Shanghai again.

Great trip and nice guide - Everything was good during our stay in Shanghai from airport pick up, day tour and finally the transfer to airport for our flight back. Zhu Jia Jiao is amazing and would highly recommend taking a trip there. Tom's explanation of the place was excellent and he also brought us to a old house formerly owned by a Chinese Official which is worth visiting as well. Tom is very patience as our group consists of a bunch of shopaholics stopping at literally every other shops in ZJJ. He waited patiently throughout and did not hurry us at all. He is also very accommodating as we did some last min changes to our itinerary in Shanghai and wanted to do more shopping. In the end we ended quite late for the day and Tom had to work overtime. Lol. Overall, am glad that we had Tom to bring us around and would definitely recommend him to anyone going to Shanghai.

Great service - Thanks to our driver Tom, who made our 5-days business trip safe, smoothly and comfortable. Tom was always on time, always polite and friendly, and very professional. We have agreed all details (locations, time) about our trip already before arrival and then everything went smoothly and on time, as planned. Great service, great driver, I would definitely recommend.
