Shanghai Highlights Free Walking Tour
I was born and lived all my life in Shanghai, and went through the bad times and good times of China's commercial hub, I am still finding new inspirations. Traveling to multiple countries and continents, I am always looking to meet new friends from all corners of the world. Wish to share my native city and help people discover the best-kept secrets that have made me love this city myself!

It was great to visit Shanghai for the first time with a person that was burned and raised there. Bill was able to share his own stories and life as a local.
Just a suggestion- we wouldn’t mind waiting a bit for the people who were late. Instead, guide kept walking and it was hard for people to follow. So maybe the guide can spend some extra minutes on the first meeting point giving an overview of tour and Shangai history while other folks join
