Very much enjoyed this full day tour with our guide Sam. Started in Zhujiajiao which mid week was not crowded in the morning. We toured a garden ( guide explained the Kew gardens was closed and this gave us the same “ feel”), took a short gondola ride ( this is the Venice of China) then walked through a shopping district and finally had an excellent lunch. Our guide, Sam, was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand and had a very pleasant demeanor. After Zhujiajiao we headed into downtown for the other highlights: Yuyuan bazar & The Bund. Do be prepared for a lot of time in the car as Shanghai is huge and it takes a long time between stops. That said, our driver magically appeared when we needed him, provided water, and a clean comfortable ride. All in all, I feel we got an excellent overview of the old and the new which is modern Shanghai.
