Private guide in Shanghai: the Laneway walk

A private guide who knows Shanghai properly — art deco waterfront facing a skyline built in thirty years. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience

Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Shanghai for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

A real highlight

Everything was well organised. The meeting point was easy to find and we started exactly on time. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Pleasant but busy

It was okay. Worth doing once, but I would try something different next visit. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Highly recommend

One of the best experiences of our trip. Everything ran on time and the staff were genuinely helpful. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Would book again

Beautiful setting and very well run. The timing gave us plenty of room to explore at our own pace. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.
