Awesome tour of another side of Shanghai - We did a last minute booking of this French Concession tour with Bill because our morning tour guide did not turn up, grrr... ;( However this tour more than made up for our earlier disappointment! Bill was entertaining, informative as we spent about 2 1/2 hours navigating the lesser-known parts of Shanghai, from how the French spent their early years here and how this has influenced so many beautiful parts of this city. Without Bill's narrative we would have walked past those historical buildings without knowing the history behind it! Highly recommended to those who want to see beyond Shanghai Disneyland, and all the other touristy places! :)
