Free walking tours in Shanghai

We really enjoyed this tour Bill was a fantastic tour guide very informative, we wished we had time to join his other tour the food one. Recommended booking with Bill

Celina was an awesome guide. Very informative and a great sense of humour. Really great tour of the French concession area. I would definitely recommend this tour

Great walking tour with interesting, super local, food stops. We thoroughly enjoyed Bills tour and would highly recommend joining him for a great glimpse of Shanghai's food

Bill was a great tour guide. Funny, energetic, patient and just full of interesting knowledge about Shanghai, pointing out some interesting places, discussing history, politics, food and culture. I would highly recommend!

Dinna was a great tour guide. She told us about Chinese culture, food, and history - and made it fun the whole way. She was incredibly organized, from the route of the walk to the accompanying pictures to her stories, to the food suggestions during the break. She was one of the best free walking tour guides we've ever had. Would highly recommend!

Bill is great, funny and really kind. The tour is fantastic.

Great tour that covered many different sights of Shanghai, Bill is a knowledgeable and irreverent tour guide

Bill was a very good choice for our first impressions in Shanghai. The tour gave us a nice overview of the most important parts of the city, and Bill was not just telling us typical information but more like a storytelling .. book this, to get a glimpse of the city and have some fun..

Loved that Bill gave his own stories in the mix to bring his perspective into the history of Shanghai

Very informative and wonderful tour! Definitely recommend to everyone who is new in Shanghai!

I recently joined a Guru Walk with Susie, and it was a fantastic experience. She created a warm, friendly atmosphere from the start, making everyone feel comfortable and engaged. Her storytelling was a highlight—blending history, local insights, and fun details you wouldn’t discover alone. The pace was relaxed, and she was always happy to answer questions or share recommendations. What stood out most was her genuine passion and enthusiasm, which made the tour feel personal and memorable. If you’re looking for an informative yet easygoing walking tour, I highly recommend Susie. It’s a great way to truly connect with the city.

Muy amable, contesto todas mis cuestiones y nos dio un contexto histórico buenísimo. He ido a muchos freetour y este ha sido de los mejores. Muy recomendable. Enhorabuena Susie!

It was a really good and informative tour, Susie was super nice, we’ve walked through important places and learned new facts from history of Shanghai and China in general, she also provided us with recommendations for good places and answered all questions. Be prepared that the route info includes a lot of dates and exact numbers (personally I would recommend to decrease them since they’re difficult to perceive by ear, some common mention of the given period would be enough)

It was nice to visit an off the beaten path neighborhood in Shanghai. We tasted nice dishes and chat with summer which is nice to know more of the culture from a local

learned tons about the food and culture of shanghai! awesome, well-organized experience :)

Bill is a good guide to tell you some fun fact of the city without much history honestly.

Authentic and professional tour of this vibrant city.

Heartfelt, informative tour. Thank you

Well worth while

Excelente guía. Tiene un gran nivel de inglés, explica muy bien, es atenta y amable. Su tour fue profesional y ameno. Totalmente recomendable.

Insightful tour about French Concession and life as a Shanghainese. Tour took place despite rainy weather. Can recommend.

Great tour with a lot of insights into the life of a Shanghainese today and in the past. Big recommendation for every newbie to the city. We spontaneously also joined Bill‘s food tour afterwards which is also very worth the time and will show you many delicious bites.

Jie’s tour was amazing. She showed us around Yu’s Garden trough chinese traditional activities. She was professional and so kind to us. I would totally recommend her tour to my friends and to all the people who wants to have a different first approach to Shanghai’s culture.

Great experience ! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and made Shanghai easy to understand. Highly recommend

Very enjoyable experience with Bill! Can highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai their first time.
