Description

Private Tour: Explore Authentic Shanghai with a Professional Local Guide
This is a private and exclusive tour led by a professional local guide with rich experience and in-depth knowledge of Shanghai. Rather than a rushed sightseeing trip, it is a genuine cultural journey that helps you truly understand and connect with the real Shanghai.
Your exploration starts at the Shanghai Film Park, where your local guide will share vivid, fascinating stories of 1930s Shanghai, bringing the old city’s glamour and history to life. You will wander through the faithfully recreated Nanjing Road and shikumen lanes, visit iconic filming locations, and gain unique insights from your guide’s professional narration. With their expert eye, you will also find perfect spots to take timeless vintage photos.
In the afternoon, you will travel to Zhujiajiao, known as the “Venice of Shanghai”. Accompanied by your guide’s detailed cultural commentary, you will stroll across ancient stone bridges, drift along peaceful waterways, and take a relaxing boat ride to feel the profound heritage of Jiangnan watertowns. You will also taste authentic local snacks and experience the daily life of the watertown, just as locals do.
This private tour blends nostalgic old-Shanghai vibes, beautiful natural scenery, and genuine local culture. With a local expert by your side, you will go far beyond the city’s skyscrapers and experience the most authentic, heartfelt side of Shanghai.
