This exposed us to a wide area of Shanghai quickly and in a fun way. Perfect introduction to the city, with city history explained. An interesting selection of local cultural features. We did a private tour, so we asked about anything that we wanted to know—very educational. Shanghai has a very busy bike culture by the locals, so we mixed right in. That is, you don’t feel you are unnaturally riding bikes through city car traffic. But you do need to feel comfortable on a bike because there is a lot of action around you: cars, other bikes, electric scooters, pedestrians, etc. We ate at a very well known, to locals, dumpling restaurant that was excellent. Our guide was legitimate local, but spoke excellent English (and other languages). Definitely recommend, especially if you naturally like bike riding and being outside.

Fantastic cycle tour in Shanghai
As a family of 5 we completed the cycling tour yesterday. Great fun and got to see the city from a different angle. Charlie was very knowledgeable and also accommodated two vegetarian teens for the snacks which were yum. She provided a scooter for one family member with an injury which was great fun (and slightly intimidating on occasion :)) to travel around like a local. I would highly recommend this tour to all visiting Shanghai.

Great way to see Shanghai
Fantastic morning cycling round Shanghai with Charlie - the tour was a good length with plenty of time to explore and enjoy the different destinations - and we learnt so much along the way about Shanghai's history and culture - and finished off with some delicious dumplings :)

Great experience!
We had a great time exploring off-the-beaten path sights in Shanghai, including local life in the Fuxing Park, Buddhist temple, remains of the city wall and traditional pharmacy. Q was an amazing tour guide, providing thoughtful and informative responses and guiding us through the sites. We also had lunch at a Michelin starred eatery where we had the best traditional buns ever. Definitely recommend the tour as an interesting way to see Shanghai's unusual sights!

Unique tour experience in Shanghai
Fantastic morning bike tour through Shanghai with Charlie in late March.
Perfect mix of interesting stops and moving through the city at a leisurely pace.
Charlie was an attentive and knowledgeable guide, the bikes were easy to handle.
We very much enjoyed the delicious lamb skewers from the small food stall at the end :-)

The perfect guide!
Since it was the quiet season right before the new year, we essentially had a private tour of the best parts of Shanghai! Our tour guide Charlie was absolutely wonderful! She gave us tons of insightful info about the Buddhist temple we visited and about the history of Shanghai’s architecture. Charlie even customized our day and took us to see the shops by Yu Garden, which was the highlight of the day for sure! Throughout the day, we stopped for bao, scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, Shanghai’s special fried dumplings, and spicy Xinjiang lamb skewers. Incredible day! The perfect start to our trip! 10/10 recommend!

The best tour of Shanghai!!
Charlie was a fantastic tour guide! I cannot recommend this tour enough! We biked, ate, and learnt so much about Shanghai. She was so kind to to ensure we got to have a tour that was specific to what we wanted to see and what we wanted to eat/drink, it was truly exactly what we wanted to do on our first day in Shanghai! Such a great start to the trip and we knocked out so many highlights of the city :) make sure you do this while you’re in Shanghai, you will not regret it!!

Perfect mixture of the old and the new
Our local guide Charlie drove us easely and safely through some of the old and new parts of the city. It's a perfect tour to see and learn more about Shanghai in just a couple of hours. If you want to have more background information about the history, cultural, reglions and development of Shanghai this tour is highly recommended.

A must do on your trip to Shanghai
We did a Shanghai bike tour last week and it was absolutely outstanding—truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Charlie, was exceptional. Their passion for Shanghai was contagious, and it made every stop along the way come alive.
Charlie shared rich local perspectives, personal stories, and deep knowledge of the city’s history that you simply can’t get from a guidebook. We loved hearing firsthand insights while exploring the neighborhoods on two wheels. The ride itself was fun, safe, and such an energizing way to experience the city.
If you’re visiting Shanghai, don’t miss this tour. It’s the perfect blend of culture, discovery, and genuine connection. Highly recommend!
