Exploring Shangai by bike seems impossible. Too busy, too dangerous. But our guide miraculously opened all the bike paths.
Not a good value, just use the bike share instead.

The tour guide was very friendly and it was definitely nice to have a peaceful morning ride, but I found the expertise to be kind of a waste of money and time. If you're at all comfortable with city biking, I recommend using the (very cheap) bikeshares around town and wandering on your own. - Tour guide was a young woman fresh out of college, and understandably didn't have much in terms of local recommendations. - Really surface level information about the places we saw. - The local food was one stop in the beginning to have soup dumplings. The food was good but I was expecting more than that.
The BEST bike tour in Shanghai

Ellen and Anne were exceptional bike tour guides. We had so much fun riding through the city. Our teenager boys loved it. The food stops were delicious. Thank you for making our trip really special.
Great city tour

Such a fun and informative tour. Ellen was a wonderful guide and even though it was a rainy day, it was still a great adventure! The food samplings on the tour were delicious and a highlight of the tour. We were on the tour with our 11 and 14 year old kids and they had a great time too! Highly recommend this tour!
Very good for seeing parts of Shanghai!

We ride around some of the main areas of Shanghai with stops for tasting delicious local food and walking around unique shops. My guide responded all my questions and took me good pictures!
A bike tour is a safe and educational way to see Shanghai. The local food experience is a bonus.

Ellen did a great job of showing and educating me on the Shanghai and its history and culture. I did the walking tour in the morning and the bike tour in the afternoon. There was little overlap and I a great use of my limited time and budget.
It's worth it!

Ellen our guide was so delightful. She was easy going and relaxed but also organised and made us feel very safe riding our bikes through the busy streets of Shanghai. The 2 food stops were fantastic as were the 2 interesting historical stops in the French Concession. I was with my 16 year old son and we both lived it and would highly recommend it.
Perfect way to explore Shanghai

Fantastic tour - great way to see lots of the city, quickly and very informative too. Allen was great and explained a lot about the history and culture, as well as stopping off at some great spots for snacks. A good mix of cycling and stopping, and cycling is very easy in the city.
