Shanghai Private Layover Tour

This specifically designed private experience is perfect for individuals with a long layover in Shanghai, allowing them to explore the vibrant city within that timeframe.

Available Options

The tour ensures a completely private experience, including airport pick-up and drop-off along with a dedicated professional guide fluent in English who will cater to your group. Various itineraries are tailored to accommodate differing layover durations and can be adjusted to meet your specific interests. When booking, you will be able to select from the following three itineraries:

4-Hour Itinerary

On this 4-hour adventure, you will discover the Bund (the iconic historical waterfront area), stroll through the Yuyuan Garden (one of China's most renowned and picturesque gardens), visit the Pearl of the Orient (the city's most emblematic tower), and admire the Shanghai Tower (the tallest skyscraper in the city, reaching 2000 feet).

8-Hour Itinerary

This 8-hour tour covers all the key sights from the 4-hour option, plus additional stops at the Jade Buddha Temple (the most well-known temple in Shanghai) and Xintiandi (a charming district with beautifully restored buildings, ideal for lunch).

12-Hour Itinerary

The most extensive choice, this 12-hour itinerary allows for a deeper exploration of the city. In addition to the previous highlights, you'll also visit Tianzifang (a residential area within the French Concession) and the renowned copy market.

Important: Layover Considerations

Keep in mind that the round trip duration to the city center is approximately 2 hours, and you must arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight. Consequently, your available time for sightseeing will be roughly 4 hours less than your total layover. For instance, to enjoy the 4-hour itinerary, a minimum layover of 8 hours is necessary.
