Shanghai Private Layover Tour

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.
