Greetings! My name is Michael, and I'm a passionate and experienced tour guide based in the dynamic city of Shanghai. As a graduate of the Shanghai Institute of Tourism, I've spent my career sharing the beauty and stories of this incredible city with travelers from all over the world. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I'm dedicated to providing a personalized and unforgettable experience. My love for what I do comes through in every tour, and I take pride in treating every customer—from VIPs to solo adventurers—with the same care and enthusiasm. I specialize in creating bespoke, private tours that are tailored to your interests and pace. Over the past 25 years, I have honed my skills in hospitality and customer service, including extensive experience with shore excursions for the last two and a half years. My tours are always designed as private experiences to ensure you get the most out of your time in Shanghai, and I never combine groups. For your convenience, I can also arrange private transportation through my network of reliable contacts.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

This is an academic product based on Shanghaiology, a rather compact product, as well as a product with a long duration. It is also a product that arranges visits to six important urban “towns” in an orderly manner and completes them in one day, and moreover, the most comprehensive product among all Shanghai one-day tour products that presents the past and present of this city. The tour starts from the Old Shanghai County, then proceeds to visit the Shanghai French Concession, Shanghai "Vatican", Shanghai International Settlement, and the "The Architectural Heritage Complex of the Greater Shanghai Plan in 1928", and finally ends at the "Shanghai Financial City" across the river from the Bund. What you need to prepare are good physical strength and comfortable shoes; the rest can be left to Michael — the "director" of this product.
