Old and New Shanghai - Comprehensive trip to the beautiful canal-filled ‘original’ Shanghai. Bill is a very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable guide. It was great to be able to ask questions about both old and new China, and lunch was best dumplings ever!

The authentic face of Shanghai - We had a wonderful tour with Bill and enjoyed it thoroughly. He is an outstanding guide; knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, Bill made everything effortless, organizing the tour and arranging transportation with perfect efficiency. Everything ran smoothly, just like clockwork. Our visit to Zhujiajiao was a highlight and truly unforgettable. As Bill said, “This town is the authentic face of Shanghai,” and we couldn’t agree more. We highly recommend both the tour and Bill as a guide!

Wonderful trip - We are a three-generational family group and i speak for all of us when i say that this was the best trip ever. We all enjoyed iit so much. From pick-up in a super-duper high tech taxi to the tour of the wonderful old water village conducted by our fabulous guide Bill, to our traditional meal of dumplings, everything was seamlessly organised and executed. We all recommend this tour 100 percent. Many thanks, Bill, u r a true star.

Great tour guide - Although this was 1 year ago, my wife and I would like to say that the tour guide (I think he is called Bill) was very helpful, speak fluent English, good knowledge about the tour and don't mind to go an extra mile to do his job. He is highly recommended.
