Our cycling tour of Shanghai with Mr Q was fantastic! He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great information. We explored hidden lanes, saw iconic sights, and stopped for some of the best Xiaolongbao we’ve had - a real highlight! The route was well planned, the bikes were great, and we always felt safe and relaxed.
If you want to see Shanghai in a fun and authentic way, don’t miss this tour. Thanks, Mr Q, for a great day! 🚴♂️🥟

Charlie was a fantastic guide for our bike tour in Shanghai. We would highly recommend this experience to those looking for a tour of some of the most significant landmarks in Shanghai. The snacks that were included was more like a full meal for us!

This is a great way to see some wonderful parts of Old Shanghai and to really feel part of the daily and street life. The company is excellent. I highly recommend this experience.

Many thanks again for highly recommending our Bike experience! Our team loves to bring visitors in our favorite spots, mostly hidden gems of Shanghai, far from touristy areas. We are glad that you took part in this multi-theme bike discovery and we hope that you will come back soon for a "Shanghai by night" for example!

Great way to spend a half-day in Shanghai. Our guide Jeremy was very knowledgable and guided us through some less touristy sections for the city. We also stopped for some tasty street food, which was an added bonus. I definitely recommend this tour.

The perfect way to see a slice of Shanghai life. Thanks to our amazing guide Kat we learnt lots about the history and architecture of the area. Loved it.

We did this tour with Clarisse and it was the highlight of our stay in Shanghai ! Clarisse is amazing and she knows a lot about the Chinese culture. we went to little old streets and could see the real life of Chinese people. The stop at the little restaurant was also amazing...I highly recommend this tour. Dont miss it !!!!
Je recommande fortement ce tour. Clarisse est intarisable sur la culture chinoise, elle est absolument incroyable !! Vous decouvrirez les petites rues de Shanghai et le stop dans un petit restaurant de quartier est magique !

We were given a great insight into the lifestyle of Shanghai people with a real glimpse of 'old' Shanghai. Touring on bikes with an excellent guide and a small group of like-minded tourists made this a most pleasurable experience.

Rose the tour guide from the Netherlands was informative, caring and had a great rapport with the locals. We saw parts of shanghai that we would never had seen by ourselves and had a great experience of day to day living in shanghai. My wife was initially nervous about the biking aspect but ended up enjoying this tour more than any other and amused the locals. It was a highlight of our trip.

Fantastic day out in Shanghai, wonderful guide she was a gem, the bikes were old school cool.
We enjoyed a more personal, glimpse into life here.
Street food snacks were excellent, something we might not have know what to order on our own.

We were fortunate to have a private tour with Claire, who was fantastic. Her genuine warmth and her fluency in both English and Mandarin made it possible for us to have interactions with local residents that we otherwise would have missed out on. Every stop we made on the tour was informative and interesting, but the highlight for us was the alleys of Old Shanghai. It was so interesting to get the feel for this simple, close-knit community whose way of life is slowly being snuffed out by encroachment from developers. Although the tour was less actualy biking than we anticipated, it was absolutely worth the time and money we spent. It was the highlight of our Shanghai trip, and we would highly recommend it.
