Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan)

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.

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.

We enjoyed seeing Beijing and learning about China’s history. Candy was an engaging guide who was always concerned with making sure the tour went smoothly.

Tom was assigned to host a gp of international tourists from US, Canada, South Africa and Singapore on 29/10 day tour of Shanghai. His pleasant personality, great hospitality skills, deep local knowledge were indeed commendable. Tks Tom.

Did the half day tour the day after arriving. Was a good activity after traveling. Excellent guide that was friendly and knowledgeable.

Overall, well coordinated and flexible. Knowledgeable guides with acceptable English language skills. Good value.

My tour guide, Nini, took me to the best places. This included a meal (vegetarian, by my request) at a restaurant that simply blew me away. Another amazing highlight was a trip to the silk factory. It was fascinating and the shopping was simply glorious! We did a lot in the day and she also arranged for me to go to the Water Village the day of my flight out of China, which would otherwise would have been sitting in an airport for hours until my plane began boarding. Also lots of photo ops and a good mix of history and shopping.

Very good tour and tour guide I learned alot from new and old Shanghai. Worth a visit to Shanghai and exploring.

We took the 11 day tour, and had a fabulous time. The guide in Beijing, Eddie, was great, well organized, knowledgeable and helpful. He was with us every step of the tour. The hotels in Bejing and Xi'an were above my expectation, grand lobby, huge room, comfortable beds and fine linens. In Xi'An our guide was Carol, also excellent on the same level with Eddie. Good information provided by her during Terra Cotta warrior tour. We ate lunch in a private persons house and to tell the truth I was not looking forward to that but the experience was great, I recommend it highly. The river cruise was wonderful, the three gorges are spectacular, the first being the absolute best. Staff were attentive, they taught us to play Mahjong, and the food was excellent on board. Included in the cruise was a trip to a side canal, that showed how they used to pull boats through the canal. I enjoyed it very much. I wish there was an extra day in Shanghai, lots to see, not enough time. I recommend this tour, the value was incredible. I don't know how they can offer so much value for the price. Please do not go in June, July and August, it is incredibly hot.

Very good This tour is a great option to know about some of the main tourist points of Shanghai. The lunch is included in the package of the tour. I was picked up at the hotel in a car with conditioned air, it guides and driver, and at the end of the tour I had the option of to return to the hotel or to leave in the last point of the tour. This was a good option to know Shanghai faster and with information of the places by the guide.

Everything went smoothly. I only wish the guide had been more flexible since it was only me and my husband were the only two people taking the tour that day.

Our tour guide was Frank. He explained everything fantastically. He had awesome English. My husband and I had an amazing time.
