Shanghai Private Layover Tour
Description
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.

Important information
You must indicate the flight number and time of arrival in Shanghai. The departure time of the tour depends on the arrival time of your plane at Shanghai airport.
The guide will be waiting for you with a sign with your name on it at the exit door of the arrivals terminal of the selected airport.
It's also necessary to indicate the number of suitcases you are carrying so that the local supplier can manage the storage. Please note that the vehicle in which we'll do the tour has limited space for luggage. It's therefore possible that you may have to leave your luggage at an airport luggage drop-off service, the cost of which you'll be responsible for.
