Private Shanghai day tours, thoughtfully composed.

A relaxed three-hour, 1.9 km riverside walk with a local English guide, from Bund No. 1 (外滩一号) to North Bund. Trace Shanghai's most celebrated sights and the most enchanting stretch of the Huangpu River, told through the stories of the city's modern history. Step onto Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street — once called the Number One Street of the Far East — cross Waibaidu Bridge, the emblem of old Shanghai, and finish at the finest riverside café with a cup of distinctly Chinese coffee. US$58 per guest, coffee included, no forced tipping. It is the most natural way to meet Shanghai, and to meet friends.

Follow Shanghai's transformation across six centuries, from a classical Ming garden and heritage lanes to the Bund and a Huangpu River night cruise.
