Great Taste of Shanghai - This was a really delightful Day Tour. They met us at a location easy for us. Our Guide spoke English well, so it was easy to understand everything that was said about the Tour. They were very flexible, so it was easy to extend our Tour beyond the 4 hours at a very reasonable rate. They also allowed us to see and do what we wanted, with plenty of choices. The Restaurant that we went to that was included in the price was very nice and had a lot of different choices (I tried the Eel, while my family loved the Beef and Pork Dishes they tried). If you are looking for a safe easy way to get a good taste of Shanghai, I can definitely recommend this Tour.
