One Day Shanghai Private Tour

One Day Shanghai Private Tour

Why choose a private sightseeing tour. Group tours can be a headache for independent travelers – meeting at a central location to start the tour, schedules that are rushed, guides that don’t cater to your interests, forced stops at gift shops, and so on. A private sightseeing tour lets you take in all of Shanghai’s vibrant culture in your own private chauffeured car, perfect for small groups that like freedom and relaxation in their travel. 

What you get. Enjoy a relaxing day of sightseeing in a clean, new chauffeured car. Your driver will greet you at your hotel lobby, take you directly to each location and wait on standby as you enjoy each site at your leisurely pace.  When finished, your driver will take you back to your hotel. 

Add a guide. Add a professional, fluent English, friendly guide to enhance your tour experience. Guides will introduce to you the rich history behind each site, answer all your questions and otherwise be at your disposal for recommendations, suggestions or assistance. 

Get Started!   Please select some or all of the places from the itinerary below which you'd like to visit for your day hire sightseeing tour, and select a tour guide if you'd like one (recommended).  Then send us your inquiry to book your sightseeing tour within minutes!   *Visiting all sites in the itinerary reduces the amount of time spent at each.
