Night time adventure
We were a family of 3 (mom, dad, and teenage son) taking this tour. After some quick introduction of the bikes, we got going on the tour. Charlie was an amazing guide! We saw a different side of Shanghai being on bikes than we would have via car or on foot. Doing this bike ride at night is the key to this being even more amazing. Don’t hesitate. Sign up for this tour because you won’t regret it.

An unforgettable way to experience Shanghai!
Thank you so much, Charlie, for an incredible tour! We absolutely loved every moment. We’ve done many cycling tours around the world, but this one truly stands out as our favorite. We felt we got to see so much of the city and learned a great deal along the way - Shanghai is such a beautiful and fascinating place!
Charlie’s knowledge, kindness, and generosity made the experience unforgettable. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and the personal touches (including the thoughtful gifts!) made it all the more special.
We’re so grateful for the memories and can’t recommend this tour highly enough!!

Great activity! Highly recommend
I had a fantastic experience doing a bike tour in Vietnam and now I can add Shanghai to the list! The roads were easy to navigate with Charlie who was kind, respectful and informative for the entire trip. Charlie thought of everything and even stopped for extra food I wanted to try! So much history to the city and Charlie was very knowledgeable. So much to explore still but we covered a lot of ground. Beautiful experience, safe and would highly recommend for young, old, family’s and anyone really 🤩

A great way to get a feel for Shanghai with limited time available
We had a great evening cycling around Shanghai. We learnt so much from Charlie. With limited time, it’s a great way to get a feel for Shanghai in a short space of time. Going by bicycle meant that we could cover a lot of ground, like a local, in and around a wide variety of areas. The choice of dishes to try at the end, were delicious. All four of us unanimously loved this tour. Thank you Charlie!

Bike ride by night
Q, is a wonderful and very kind guide. We had a great time. We started the walk during the day and finished at night, really very pleasant. Q's explanations taught us a lot about the culture and history of Shanghai. The stop to taste the dumplings.... A delight!!! Thanks again Q for these great moments! Very nice experience, I highly recommend this tour with this agency.

Great tour! Q was amazing.
Q was amazing! Patient and kind and so well prepared. We had the best time. The places we visited were interesting and different too, and Q had a lot of interesting details to share. The food at the end was delicious. Great intro to Shanghai! Couldn’t believe we were cycling in the Wild West of Shanghai roads- felt very safe with Q leading us.
Operator response
