YOUR TIME IN SHANGHAI

A Private Experience Built Around Your Layover

I will meet you at Pudong Airport and create a program that fits the time you have available, your interests and your pace. Depending on your layover, we can explore historic Shanghai, walk along the Bund, experience local life, visit modern Pudong or enjoy some local food.

There is no fixed itinerary. I will plan your time carefully so that you can enjoy Shanghai without worrying about the clock, and I will make sure you are back at Pudong Airport in good time for your onward flight.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

A Layover Planned Around Your Flight

Every layover is different. The program depends on your arrival and departure times, the time available in Shanghai and what you would most like to experience.

For my Shanghai layover tours I normally use the Shanghai Maglev between Pudong Airport and the city. It is fast and reliable and avoids the risk of traffic jams — especially important when you have a flight to catch.

From the Maglev station we can continue by metro or DiDi, depending on your personal program and the time available.

Transportation, entrance tickets, food and drinks are not included in the guiding fee and only apply when needed for your personal program.
