The walk in old Shanghai following Tintin from « Tintin et le lotus bleu » was really great! We learned a lot from Clarisse from both Tintin character and Shanghai city. I can only recommend!

We partivcpated in a walking tour of the old city of Shanghai. Able to finally see some of the foundations of the old city wall, followed by a variety of temples, then walked through an area of the old city that will be demolished soon. Our guide Clarisse is very knowledgeable and engaging. I also love all the old photos of buildings and areas we visited. I really liked that she can read mandarin so was able to read some of the corner stones or words written over doors. It really added more than if i had just been wandering around on my own. Would highly recommend.

Clarisse our guide is amazing, took us to deep secretive alley, gorgeous old abandon villas, historical traditional house and more, and sharing all the amazing story behind all those places. If you want to learn about Shanghai, or simply enjoying Shanghai beyond those tourist trap, I would highly recommend joining this walking tour.Very pro guide, visit in small group and the coffee/pudding break to crown it all.

Very pro guide, visit in small group and the coffee/pudding break to crown it all. I strongly recommend.We walked with Clarisse through the northern part of Hongkou discovering LuXun and the history of the beginning of the 20th century. Very interesting discovery in this not so common part of Shanghai. We were very lucky, the sun and cherry blossoms of LuXun Park were there too!
