What a great way to see a lot of the major Shanghai sights (in a day!). Tom was a fantastic guide and spoke perfect English. I have been to many temples throughout Asia, but learned more about Buddhist temples and Chinese Buddha statues through Tom than all previous temple tours combine. He’s extremely knowledgable, not just on Buddhism, but all of Shanghai and it’s culture and history.

Tom Zhang is a very knowledgeable guide who has been showing us not only the obvious highlights of Shanghai but also the more subtle beauties and hidden places. He was very flexible in adjusting his schedule to our needs and no matter which detailed question was asked always had the right and entertaining answer.

Just wanted to say that Tom Zhang gave us a fantastic tour of Shanghai. He is very knowledgeable and conveys his knowledge in a very interesting and entertaining way. His great local knowledge allowed us also to experience some great food at places that the locals know about. We would do the tour again and cannot more highly recommend him.
