We went to alot of nice places in Shanghai, such as a museum and the Jade Bhudda temple. It was a good mixture of old and new things to see. For the price it was well worth it.
Again traffic was a problem But the driver and Guide where great. Wow what an experience on the road scooters everywhere, all worth while doing that's what travel is about
Excellent tour. With foreign tourists down over 80% since 2008, this tour through Viator was like a private tour for 6 + driver + English speaking guide. Guide was very informative and knowledgeable. With just 6 of us in the tour, we could ask a lot of questions to learn more of the city and culture. Lunch was excellent with lots to eat.
Viator...best company to book with from overseas, best local land operator in Shanghai, one of the best local tour guides I've ever had in China or around the world for that matter. However, spending time in three government stores so we can spend our tourist monies is not my idea of sightseeing in Shanghai. One hour at the Shanghai museum is not acceptable when you spend three hours in a Jade, Pearl and Handicraft store. Really???
The Bund area and former French Concession area were the highlights.
Great tour for first time visitor to Shanghai. Had a very knowledgeable guide who also spoke very good english. A must do tour
Very good to enable the first time visitor to see the popular sights of central Shanghai - I would not recommend a sunday trip, it is extremely busy, and does not give enough time to view things properly. A wonderful Old city.
Joe the guide was excellent with his knowledge of the tourist sights. He gave detailed information and his command of English was excellent. Overall tour was a good way to travel around Shanghai. Museum was particularly interesting.
i liked it very much
This trip was really good lots to see,and also a very good guide.He knows a lot, and give us an idea of shanghai,Recommmend this trip
Enjoyed a comprehensive day out which was well organized. We would have liked more time at the museum and less at shopping spots. Lunch was delicious .

This was a very good one day trip. I would recommend this day trip to first time visitors to Shanghai.
This was the most disappointing of my tours in China - I was the only one on the tour which had its advantages but I felt the disadvantages more. The guide Joe was ok - he gave the bare minimum information and was not as informative as Jackie in Beijing. In many places when I asked for more time at a certain place, I was left on my own but I noticed many other guides walking around with tourists and giving lots of information (at the Bund, Old Town and Museum). I dont know if this was not included in the agenda but should be as the guide is there with us anyways. We also went to a pearl factory and jade shop and I really felt pressured to buy and felt this was more a shopping excursion than a sightseeing trip. Again this was shorter than stated (started at 9 AM and I was back at the hotel by 3:30 PM - Joe had offered that I take another 15 mins more at the Old Town but even with that it would have been less than 7 hours).
The Silk Factory visit was not done as mentioned in the program. No tour info material not even a black and white copy.
Lots to see but tour guide (Joe) was a little obsessed with young girls.
When all the girls were dropped off he fell asleep before we got back to our hotel.
Could have spent longer at sites and less time at shops too.
