Good service by the driver and the guide - however improvement required for the communication between the driver and the guide as time was wasted in picking up and dropping off including the airport pick up and tour guide pick up.

For someone who, like me, enjoys cycling in a big city with lots of chaotic traffic, this is the tour for you. It's a total of about 20 km criss-crossing Shanghai. At one stop you can try typical Chinese crêpes.

Suzanne, our French-speaking guide, showed us Shanghai in record time. We were all delighted. We recommend Suzanne, the driver, and the bus, which was also excellent.
