We did the bike tour in shangai along the east of the river with Chris ! He is an amazing guy speaks excellent english and took the 5 people of our group on an individual trip in places we ve never seen in shangai ! Everything is super safe , actually they have designed a 25 kilometrea bile lane tjat runs along the river betwen parks arriving towards the end at the pudong area and biking under the Pearl tower ! Everything went very smoothly , very safe , no traffic, between parks and blooming flowers ! Another side of shangai out of the ordinary and no More shops or malls at last ! Chris is highly recommended!
Nice way to spend experience Shanghai in a short period of time.

Had a really nice bike ride with Kris along the river, I only had 12 hours in Shanghai so it was a nice way to see quite a bit in a short amount of time. On the way we stopped for an iced Matcha and tried some really nice Shanghai food so I felt like I got a really good brief experience of China. Really good price for the amount of time and food I ate. Also got a little ferry ride to cross the river which was nice. I didn't feel rushed at all and Kris was really nice to chat to. The route mainly used nice cycle paths so the bike ride was easy too.
Brilliant Shanghai Bike Tour

This is a fantastic way to see Shanghai. Excellent communication from a knowledgeable, fun guide. Kris went out of his was to make the trip enjoyable including some delicious local snacks at a restaurant along the way. Plenty of great photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this trip!
