Shanghai Tower, The Bund & Huangpu River Night CruiseA half-day group tour of Shanghai combining three vantage points: the Shanghai Tower's 118th-floor observation deck for panoramic views, free time at The Bund to walk among historic colonial buildings, and a 50-minute Huangpu River night cruise watching the illuminated skyline. The tour includes a guide, sightseeing bus, tower entry and cruise ticket; groups run two to twenty-five travelers.Is it for me?Choose the group option that matches your party size—two travelers or three to twenty-five—and you move through all three vantage points on a single schedule, with the guide and bus handling the logistics so you focus on the views instead of navigation.
Shanghai Day Tour: World Financial Center, Bund & Yu GardenA private Shanghai day tour with a live guide covering the World Financial Center observation decks, the Bund, Yu Garden, and Shanghai Museum over 7 to 8 hours. You travel by public transportation and the guide speaks English, Spanish, French, German or Mandarin. The tour includes coffee or tea and stops at four major attractions that span the city's modern skyline, colonial waterfront, classical gardens, and ancient art collections.Is it for me?This is a shared group tour with a guide leading the route and timing, so you don't navigate the city yourself or arrange transport between stops—book it if you want the major sights covered in one day without building the itinerary yourself. If you prefer to move at your own pace or skip a stop, a self-guided option would suit you better.
Private Shanghai Tour: Aquarium, Bund, Yu Garden & TowerThis private guided tour of Shanghai pairs a knowledgeable English-speaking guide with door-to-door pickup and entrance fees to five major stops: Yu Garden's classical pavilions and Nine Bend Bridge, the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium's 155-meter submarine tunnel and 15,000 water creatures, Shanghai Tower's 118th-floor observation deck and highest bookstore, the Bund's 26 historic buildings, plus the local Bird and Flower Market and fabric tailoring district. The guide recommends lunch spots based on your preference and adjusts the day's pace to match your interests.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want a single guide who knows Shanghai well enough to adjust the day to what actually interests you—the pace stays yours, not locked to a group schedule. The private format also means you're not waiting for others to board a bus or move through the aquarium tunnel; your guide moves when you're ready.
Shanghai Tower, Bund & Xintiandi: Private Layover TourA private guided tour of Shanghai's main landmarks—Shanghai Tower, the Bund, Xintiandi, Nanjing Road and Yuyuan Old Street—with hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional guide in your language, and admission to all attractions. The tour runs 7 to 8 hours and includes coffee or tea at the observation deck on the 119th floor of Shanghai Tower. Lunch and dinner are not included.Is it for me?Book this private car tour if you're connecting through Shanghai and want a guide-led narrative of the city's architecture and neighborhoods—you'll move at your own pace between landmarks rather than syncing with a group schedule.
