Close to the gardens is the Shanghai's bazaar, a great number of small streets and lanes where vendors sell their products and food stuff to the tourists and local people.

Tom is an excellent tour guide very thoughtful and insures you have a great experience one of the best tours I have been on ever
Our guide Eric, was really informative and very knowledgeable. The day was great. He was very kind to ensure we got food that was appropriate for our dietary needs for lunch. I would 100% recommend this tour for anyone who wants a bespoke day tailored to your needs. I would definitely do this touch again if I am ever in Shanghai again!! Thanks Eric.
Of course, I couldn’t resist booking another private tour. A huge thank you to Alana and Mary for organizing it and creating such unforgettable experiences! 💖 Dear travelers, if you’re planning a trip to Shanghai – I highly recommend this tour! 🏙️🌟
We had a great day with our guide, Mary. She took us to a nice watertown which was well worth the visit. We were there early morning which meant the streets was not too crowded. Afterwards we drove to the places we wanted to see after our own liking. Mary was speaking good English and had a lot of knowledge.
Our driver Mr Mou was amazing. Our guide Sophie was exceptional. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. Her English was top notch. We had a wonderful day with her and she took the time to understand what we wanted to see. We were able to get so much more out of our day by having Sophie with us. If you are in Shanghai definitely book a tour with Sophie. The only thing is make sure that your hotel is within the pick up zone. Confirm with them that it is. They will still accommodate you if you are outside the zone, it will just cost a little more for the extra time. But don’t let that stop you. We had a great day with Sophie!
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Zhujiajiao Water Town and Shanghai with Tom, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Tom was incredibly friendly, kind, and full of knowledge about the area's rich history and culture. Our first day started with a stroll through Old City Shanghai before heading out to the picturesque Zhujiajiao Water Town. The scenery was breathtaking, and Tom brought the town to life with fascinating stories and insights. We capped off the afternoon with a lovely tea break that gave us time to soak it all in. The second day was just as special—we explored the charming French Quarter, visited the serene Jade Buddha Temple, and returned once more to Old City Shanghai to catch a few things we missed the first time around. One of the highlights of the tour was simply spending time with Tom. We shared two meals together, had meaningful conversations, and laughed all day. His warmth and enthusiasm made the experience feel like we were exploring with a close friend rather than just a guide. Tom is an amazing guide and truly made our trip memorable. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
We had a wonderful experience with Tom as our tour guide. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly caring throughout our trip. We were traveling with my elderly mother, and Tom showed such patience and attentiveness, always making sure she was comfortable and enjoying herself. He took us to interesting places, yummy lunch, shared great insights, and never rushed us — we were able to truly relax and take everything in at our own pace. Tom went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth, stress-free experience. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and engaging tour guide. He made our trip truly memorable!
We had Tom as our guide. He showed us places we wouldn't have found ourselves. He was very friendly and reserved and told us a lot about Chinese culture and history. He also gave us great tips for the design of the next days. Thank you so much!
Very nice experience!!! Really enjoyed it and Mary was very helpful and friendly where she took us to many places …………….
Tom is a great driver, very friendly, knows the city very well and China in general, he is very proficient in English which is rare to find in China. He picked me up at the exact agreed time and the tour went really smoothly - he also gave me some recommendations for the rest of the trip that were really valuable so would definitely recommend the experience. You can probably go to some of the places by yourself but it was so much more convenient to have a driver like Tom, also you can personalize it if you want/need
