Sophie is a 5 star tour guide! Book the trip - 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!

Best Shanghai Driver and Tour Guide of 2025! - 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!

Traveling with Ease and Care with elderly mama - thanks to tom! - 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!

Impressive and educational - 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!

Great experience - 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

Wonderful day trip from Shanghai - Our family had an excellent day with Tom and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The itinerary was perfect for a day trip from Shanghai, taking in historical gardens, an ancient city gate, a fantastic riverside restaurant for lunch, a tour of a silk factory and a visit to the water village, with the highlight of the day, a leisurely boat ride through the beautiful village channels finishing up with dinner of delicious stick rice dumplings and wantons from a place that only locals would know. We learned all about the culture and history from Tom and he was a very considerate host for our family. We thoroughly recommend.

We had a great time and definitely reccomend Tom.

Great Shanghai tour guide - We found Tom on TripAdvisor and reached out to him for our family trip in June 2024. He replied via email and was very helpful in coming up with an itinerary for us. He was always very responsive to whatever questions we had before the trip. Our trip was great! Tom and the driver were always punctual to meet us and very patient and accommodating to our requests. He is very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of information on the places he brought us to. Tom is great with both old folks and kids; we all enjoyed his company. We would definitely recommend Tom to our family and friends who are going to Shanghai!
