Booked the Shanghai private tour with a guide mostly to avoid planning it ourselves, good call. Getting there by private guide and car was painless and set the tone. The time on the Bund, Yu Garden and the French Concession was the real draw and the whole thing felt organised without being rigid. We also liked that they let us swap an afternoon sight for a slower lakeside walk. The language barrier was a bit thin at one small shop, no big deal. Overall I'd go again with the same operator.
