Shanghai Private Layover Tour
Description
This exclusive private tour is perfect for those with a lengthy layover in Shanghai, providing a wonderful opportunity to discover the city during your wait.
Tour Options
The experience is completely private, featuring airport pick-up and drop-off along with a dedicated English-speaking guide for you and your travel companions. Various itineraries cater to different layover durations and can be adjusted based on your interests. Upon booking, you can choose from the following three options:
4-Hour Itinerary
In this 4-hour excursion, we will explore the Bund (Shanghai’s historical heart), the Yuyuan Garden (one of China’s most stunning gardens), the Pearl of the Orient (the city’s iconic structure), and the Shanghai Tower (the tallest skyscraper in the city, standing at 2000 feet).
8-Hour Itinerary
This 8-hour option includes everything from the 4-hour tour, supplemented by visits to the Temple of Jade Buddha (Shanghai's most renowned temple) and Xintiandi (a charming neighborhood characterized by renovated historic houses, perfect for lunchtime relaxation).
12-Hour Itinerary
The most thorough choice, the 12-hour tour, allows for an extensive exploration of the city. Along with the previous highlights, this itinerary introduces two additional stops: Tianzifang (a residential area within the French Concession) and the well-known copy market.
Essential Layover Information
Keep in mind that the round trip to the city center takes approximately 2 hours, and you should arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to your flight. Consequently, the actual time available for sightseeing is roughly 4 hours less than your total layover. For instance, to comfortably enjoy the 4-hour tour, you must have at least 8 hours in your layover schedule.

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.
