A private day tour with car and guide maximizes every hour, eliminating navigation time, queue waiting, and transportation confusion. In 8–10 hours, you can experience the Bund, Yu Garden, French Concession, and Shanghai Tower — the four experiences that define Shanghai.

Popular places to include

  • The Bund (Morning). Iconic waterfront, colonial architecture, Pudong skyline views
  • Yu Garden & Old City. 400-year-old garden, traditional architecture, local breakfast
  • French Concession. Tree-lined streets, boutique cafes, art deco architecture
  • Shanghai Tower. World's 2nd tallest building, 632m observation deck
