Itinerary

We will pick you up with our vintage motorbikes at your hotel, or at our regular pick-up point (Andaz Hotel). We will then find out how much of Shanghai you have seen and ask you some questions about your interests and make a tailor made tour for you. Typically we will head to some really off the beaten track places where local people are selling vegetables on the street. We will walk down little alleys and lane ways beside people's houses, peeking in to see how the other half lives. Depending on your interests we will then head to somewhere like the French Concession, full of rich history of gangsters and prostitution, or Xintiandi, the richest area in Shanghai, will apartments selling for up to US$1 billion. The juxtaposition between rich and poor in Shanghai is one of the cities greatest features.
