It was a great tour and Harris was very knowledgeable about the city. In addition he was very engaging in terms of general conversation and additional information about Shanghai.

michele G. 19 Apr 2012

Harris was very informative and flexible with 3 generations of women, my Mom, daughter and I. We saw things only a local can show you! It was great!

Tony R. 20 Mar 2012

My daughter and I went with a tour group to China but hired Harris our first day in Shanghai because we wanted to go to the museum and view a tea ceremony (things the group weren't doing). We had a wonderful time with Harris as our guide. He was so pleasant and friendly. He responded to all my e-mails promptly and met us in the lobby of our hotel with no problems. He made sure we saw the things that interested us and provided us with plenty of interesting facts on what we saw. He was great!

Harris is a wonderful guide, he knows Shanghai and its history very well. We really enjoyed our day, he showed us so much of the city, I still cannot believe we managed to fit it all in and not feel exhausted. I highly recommend Harris if you are looking for a good, friendly guide.

We had nothing less than a perfect day with Harris. He knew a lot about the history of Shanghai and China and was also very interested in the European culture. We spent a lot of time talking about the past and the future of China and got way more than just an expression of a city.

We are indebted to Harris for all of his efforts on our behalf. He went way beyond our expectations. He was hired to give my pre-college son a tour, as he was traveling alone. Harris helped us ahead of time by finding him a hotel, made train recommendations and even helped him check-in. He emailed me many times before the tour and even afterwards to let me know my son caught his plane, even though it was the day after the tour. Harris was worth many times more the $$ paid. Highly Recommended!

Harris was more than a guide.He became our good friend.We would defintely recommend Harris to anyone visiting Shanghai.He understands your needs & is very proffessional, patient, informative and manages time well to cover most important tourist spots & fluent in English.He recommends top tourist spots & leaves it to us to decide depend'n on the time & transport. He took us to the local streets, shopping areas to get the local flavor of the city. With Harris being around U'l never waste ur time.
