Flexibel privat Shanghai Layover Tour

Fantastic personalised experience with knowledgeable guide. Very well organised and I'd highly recommend this tour.

I had a 12 hour layover in Shanghai and desperately wanted to see the City but was nervous to head out on my own as a solo Australian girl so I booked a tour and was guided by Snow. Her English was brilliant. The driver had a nice car and drove safe safely. We had traditional Chinese food and went shopping and saw the sites of Shanghai. Highly recommend. I also booked the pick up and return to airport so I didn’t have to worry about travel in and out on my own.

I had an 11 hour layover so decided to get out and see the city. Had an amazing time. I got the pick up and drop off from the airport. My driver was waiting right on time and drove me into the city where my guide Kalvin joined. He'd grown up in Shanghai and was able to add so much more to the experience. I couldn't believe how much it had changed over the last 30 years and seeing it through his stories from his childhood until now really helped me to connect more with the city. I was able to see so much in a short time, I loved having the private car and tour. The guide even stopped off at an amazing little dumping place — somewhere I'd have never found on my own. We went to the Jade Buddha Temple, old town and the Yu Yuan Gardens, and the Bund. Absolutely recommend!

Being new to China and a bit hesitant to navigate on our own with the language barrier we wanted a day trip that we felt safe but still got to experience all the wonders of Shanghai. We were picked up at our hotel at Disneyland and dropped off at the Airport hotel which made the transition incredibly easy. We found this tour included the hotel and airport pickup and drop off as well as being tailor made to our needs including the best sights around Shanghai. The driver Mr Chi was excellent and the car was very luxurious and included water. We met with guide Xin who was very experienced and a local so knew some of the out of the way places to visit. She also was able to tell us about the places and history in a factual and fun way. Her English was excellent so there was always open communication. She also knew the best photo spots and it was lovely getting photos of both of us. We found some amazing souvenirs and experienced a more authentic side of the city plus enjoyed lunch at a Michelin star restaurant which was excellent. Overall we could not have asked for anything else. We had a special request to visit the Disney store which they were happy to include. We would highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely fantastic tour of Shanghai! Especially the wonderful guide Xin brings heart and soul to the experience! I fell in love with Shanghai thanks to her: Xin is very caring and kind, and knows all the most amazing spots for pictures, food and souvenirs! The driver and the manager did a great job too! Super well organized tour, very caring and kind people! I would love to come back for more!

We were on a 20+ hours transit and booked a private trip with Snow, our guide. Although we were tired from our first flight we enjoyed the program made up and the flexibility of our guide. Kids including our teenagers loved it !

Just excellent and tailored to my circumstances. I had a very tight lay over in Shanghai, arriving at 6 am as well; but wanted to see some of Shanghai if possible. I made an enquiry and Alana was excellent with her communication, what was realistic within the time frame and the instructions were very clear on how I would connect with the guide Caroline and the driver. Caroline was brilliant and very welcoming and energetic for that time of the morning and extremely knowledgeable. Special shout out to the driver as well; super efficient at various stops where he would just appear and returned me to the airport early. Thank you very much team for allowing me to do this.

Great communication from Alana on where to meet our driver (she even sent a photo with the location circled in pen). Our driver arrived promptly and his car was immaculate. We weren’t able shown around Shanghai by Kalvin. He was a font of knowledge and adapted the tour as we went. We are already talking about booking another tour (hopefully with Kalvin) on our return leg. We would highly recommend this company 😊

An incredible way to make the most of Shanghai during a layover. They were absolutely brilliant - organized and seamless from pick up to goodbye. Judy and Mr Chi showed us around Shanghai- we particularly enjoyed Judy building and sharing the historical context as we soaked in the sights. We really felt cared for and looked after. We did a lot but also felt that we weren’t forced into anything. We know Shanghai better now and we couldn’t really request for a better team to show us around.

We did a 10-hour layover tour in Shanghai and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Alana organised everything perfectly, and Snow, our guide, was absolutely wonderful — professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly throughout the day. We managed to see an amazing amount in such a short time without ever feeling rushed. Our driver was excellent, and the van was far more spacious and comfortable than expected, which made a long day feel easy. One lovely surprise was that our food was included and paid for, which we truly didn’t expect and really appreciated. What really stood out was the value for money. We paid £87 per person (for three people), and considering everything that was included and how much we saw, it easily felt closer to £100+ per person. The only downside was wishing we had more time to soak it all in. Bring a spare bag for souvenirs! Ours were already full to the brim so we couldn’t buy much. We would definitely recommend this tour and would happily do it again.
