Description

Experience Shanghai’s unique blend of history, culture, and modernity in a private, hassle-free tour. This tour takes you to five of the city's most iconic attractions with hotel pickup and drop-off.
Discover the best of Shanghai on a guided tour of Xintiandi, Yu Garden, The Bund, and Lujiazui. Learn about the city's colonial past, see its modern skyscrapers, and enjoy a local lunch.

Begin your journey at Xintiandi, a vibrant pedestrian-friendly district combining historic Shikumen (stone gate) architecture with modern boutiques, cafes, and bars. Learn about Shanghai’s colonial past while exploring its trendy, cosmopolitan side.

After Xintiandi, explore Tianzifang, a charming old Shikumen alley transformed into a vibrant art district. Stroll through its narrow lanes filled with boutique shops, artisan studios, and cozy cafés, capturing the nostalgic charm of old Shanghai. Discover handcrafted souvenirs, local artworks, and vintage teahouses, or try street snacks like pan-fried dumplings and scallion

Next, step back in time at Yu Garden, a classical Chinese garden built in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty. Stroll through its tranquil pavilions, rockeries, and koi-filled ponds while admiring traditional Chinese architecture.

After exploring, you may enjoy a local lunch (at your own expense) at a famous restaurant within the Yu Garden Bazaar. Savor authentic Shanghai delicacies, such as Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and Braised Pork Belly.

After lunch, visit The Bund, Shanghai’s most famous riverside promenade. Walk along the waterfront to admire the historic European-style buildings, once home to foreign banks and trading houses in the early 20th century. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Pudong skyline, with its futuristic skyscrapers towering across the river.

Cross the river to Lujiazui, Shanghai’s financial district, home to some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. Visit an observation deck in one of the towers (optional) to witness a breathtaking 360° view of the city from above.
