Good to Know Our tours are always kept to small groups to create a friendly, conversational atmosphere where travelers can meet each other and interact with local people. For this reason, we don’t accept large group bookings of more than 6 people.
Our guides are passionate about sharing Shanghai and making your experience unforgettable. This is their full-time work, and tips are greatly appreciated. Considering the cost of living in Shanghai, the suggested tip is around 100–300 RMB per person.

We had an amazing 5-star walking tour in Shanghai and couldn’t recommend it more! Our guide, Jie, was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, which made everything easy to follow and really enjoyable.
We explored some of the city’s most iconic spots, including People’s Park, Nanjing Road, and the Bund. Jie brought each location to life with fascinating insights and stories you wouldn’t get on your own.
What really stood out was her passion for being a tour guide—it showed in every detail and made the experience feel personal and engaging. If you’re visiting Shanghai, this tour is an absolute must!
