Offered in: English

Discover Shanghai from its humble origins as a fishing village and hear the stories behind how it evolved to become one of the world's most exciting and cosmopolitan places!

In 3.5~4 hours, our tour covers all the must-see spots in downtown Shanghai. Get ready to dive into the history, culture, art, architecture, and mouthwatering food of this vibrant city!

IMPORTANT: Please note that the booking fee charged here is solely to reserve your spot, as the tour itself operates on a tips-based model, meaning you decide how much your guide deserves for their hard work. We suggest a tip of 200-250 RMB or 25-30 USD/EURO, which we believe is a fair amount compared to the cost of a regular walking tour:) This voluntary tip is a way to recognize your guide's efforts and helps us maintain this exciting job!

Booking is limited to groups of up to 4 people (adults+kids). If your group exceeds 4 people, please contact us to arrange a private tour.
