What to expect
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby or any place you prefer. Additionally, you can book a private car or use public transportation to start your trip, according to your requirements. Your guide will show you the Lujiazhui Financial area and give you an introduction of Shanghai and Pudong new district. And then your guide will show you The Oriental Pearl TV Tower [160RMB/Per Person]. Visit Yu Garden [40RMB]. Eastern China is famous for private gardens, which were traditional houses for people. You can view real ancient architecture, old furniture and lovely nature in these private gardens. Yu Garden is also a place to go shopping to buy tea, silk, Chinese souvenirs etc. According to your preference, your guide will recommend a place to eat, which could be a small local eatery or elegant cuisine restaurant. If you love walking, your guide can bring you from Yu Garden to a nearby local area. You will see a local Wet market, Electronic market, and a Bird & Flower market. The next destination will be the French Concession, where you can enjoy a couple of nice and peaceful streets. These streets combine local life with French traces. You have a chance to be a local, to see local life in nice atmosphere away from touristy Shanghai. If you love drinking, your guide will bring you to XinTianDi [Or another New Bar Area], which is a great place to have alcohol and western food. If you prefer to go shopping, your guide will take you to one more shopping area -Tianzifang. In the evening, your guide will take you to the Bund riverfront. After 170 years’ evolution and development, the Bund has become the symbol of Shanghai and the city’s image as an exhibition of world architecture. After 6:30pm, it even looks more stunning. Finally you will be escorted back to your hotel.

We followed online recommendations and contact Scarlet for a day and a night tour of Shanghai. Scarlet is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible and extremely charming. She took us for a food tour the night we arrived and introduce us to so many flavors and textures of the night life in her city. The next day we day toured the major attraction along with side streets off the beaten path. She constantly adjusted the itinerary to fit our interests. The tour did not end till we were totally exhausted....Her English is perfect and her sense of humor is delightful. we highly recommend her as a guide!soukkarra

I had such a lovely day with Scarlett in Shanghai. The tour was completely customizable which allowed me to see some touristy sites as well as some more local/traditional areas/markets. Highly recommend. The full day flew by so quickly.

I must admit that I was a little worried that I'd taken the risk of spending my only free day on a tour that might not be great, but I needn't have worried; Scarlett's tour was fantastic. She designed the tour around the things that interested me and for the first time, I felt more like a local than a tourist; which for me is what travelling is really all about. If you want more than the standard 'package tour' version of China, book a tour with Scarlett, it will be the highlight of your trip.plasticbones

Scarlett is such an excellent tour guide, she puts an emphasis on atmosphere rather than of checklists and really treats her costumers like good friends. Her tours are spotaneous, casual, and flexible, and she's very knowledgeable. Scarlett showed me and my family a few different sides of Shanghai we probably wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. Really, this is the best you can get!Carolabelgium
