Charming Shanghai French Concession Walking tour - We had a wonderful tour in Shanghai, exploring the history behind some of the city's buildings and parks. Sophia, our tour guide, welcomed us in a beautiful garden and began by explaining the past and present of the site. She then took us to various locations, helping us discover places we might usually walk past without noticing the fascinating details and stories behind them. The tour ended with a fun workshop where we learned a traditional fan painting technique. Sophia was cheerful, engaging, and made the experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in discovering hidden gems and the rich history of Shanghai!

An enjoyable, immersive and fun way to learn about the Former French Concession - I have lived in Shanghai for 10 years now and learned so much about the former French concession. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and catering to the groups needs. I highly recommend this tours to international visitors to Shanghai as well as local/ex-pats living in Shanghai who would like to learn about this amazing city.
