Our tour guide John was very knowledgeable and loved how he put stories on every place we visited especially Yu Garden and Bund. We enjoyed all the places and thankful for making our visits in Shanghai memorable.

The company called less then 24 hours before the tour to ask for more money because they didn't have enough participants. It was too late to get tickets myself so I had no choice. Bad experience.

Afternoon tour: I was positively surprised to be the only person doing the tour, and so I had a private driver, luxury SUV and tour guide for myself. We started at the Yu Gardens, which was quite enchanting, but the French quarter isn’t worth it, and the silk factory is 100% a tourist trap. The Bund is quite impressive too. The tour guide had good English, but was not able to blend the highlights with the history of the city and country. In summary, take a taxi to the Gardens and then to the Bund and you’ll be better off. Cheers
