These city tours are how I’d spend a first day in Shanghai, guided loops linking the Bund, Yu Garden, and Pudong. The geography does half the work: a century-old riverfront stares across the water at a skyline built since the 1990s. Cross the river at least once.
Hailed as an extraordinary journey, the Zhujiajiao Water Town and Shanghai City Private Day Tour promises an enchanting blend of history, culture, and culinary delights.
