An educational walk through historic old-town Shanghai with our excellent English-speaking guide, Harris. - What a gem of a guide. The tour was informative about old-town, the culture, and the food. Harris met us at our hotel then we walked to the subway and our journey began. We walked through old-town, the Zig Zag bridge, the antique booths, and the market where the fish were alive and eggs were plentiful from many species of birds. Our half-day was plenty of time to get oriented in Shanghai. The only thing I would not have done was the walk through the floor booths where the merchants sold antiques on their mats. Other than that, the tour was great.

Half day tour of Shanghai - Harris Gu was our guide for 4 days in Shanghai and the surrounding area. The day we got there (there were 6 of us0 he met us at our hotel and took us on a walking tour of downtown Shanghai. He was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, spoke excellent English. He figured we were hungry and took us to have a lovely snack/meal where we were able to spend some time asking questions about Shanghai, his background and what the next three days would be. We went back to the hotel to rest and go to his recommended restaurant, which turned out to be wonderful.
