Unforgettable Shanghai: Old Town Bike & Bites Tour

Since it was the quiet season right before the new year, we essentially had a private tour of the best parts of Shanghai! Our tour guide Charlie was absolutely wonderful! She gave us tons of insightful info about the Buddhist temple we visited and about the history of Shanghai’s architecture. Charlie even customized our day and took us to see the shops by Yu Garden, which was the highlight of the day for sure! Throughout the day, we stopped for bao, scallion pancakes, soup dumplings, Shanghai’s special fried dumplings, and spicy Xinjiang lamb skewers. Incredible day! The perfect start to our trip! 10/10 recommend!

Charlie was a fantastic tour guide! I cannot recommend this tour enough! We biked, ate, and learnt so much about Shanghai. She was so kind to to ensure we got to have a tour that was specific to what we wanted to see and what we wanted to eat/drink, it was truly exactly what we wanted to do on our first day in Shanghai! Such a great start to the trip and we knocked out so many highlights of the city :) make sure you do this while you’re in Shanghai, you will not regret it!!

Our local guide Charlie drove us easely and safely through some of the old and new parts of the city. It's a perfect tour to see and learn more about Shanghai in just a couple of hours. If you want to have more background information about the history, cultural, reglions and development of Shanghai this tour is highly recommended.

We did a Shanghai bike tour last week and it was absolutely outstanding—truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Charlie, was exceptional. Their passion for Shanghai was contagious, and it made every stop along the way come alive. Charlie shared rich local perspectives, personal stories, and deep knowledge of the city’s history that you simply can’t get from a guidebook. We loved hearing firsthand insights while exploring the neighborhoods on two wheels. The ride itself was fun, safe, and such an energizing way to experience the city. If you’re visiting Shanghai, don’t miss this tour. It’s the perfect blend of culture, discovery, and genuine connection. Highly recommend!

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!

Amazing tour. Charlie is super pleasant, and knowledgeable. We had our meal at a vegetarian rest close to the temple. Food as fantastic!

Top cycling tour for Shanghai, really enjoyed this tour, our guide 'Q' was very, very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting facts. Covered the key areas of the city and learnt so much history. Lunch included which was a bonus.

Charlie was the best guide we had! The tour was a great start to our trip with a lot of information and helpful tips by Charlie.

Had an amazing experience with Charlie, she was very enthousiastic, open and spoke perfect English! She told us all about the history of the city, showed us many beautiful buildings and places and introduced us to some top notch ice cream and pan fried pork dumplings which we devoured happily. Thanks again Charlie!
