Walking Through the Hidden Door of Shanghai Old Town

• Visit under-the-radar sights that are closed to other tourists

• A private guide makes for an ultra-personal experience

• All entrance fees and hotel pickup included

Choose from morning, afternoon or evening departure times. Your tour begins with pickup from your hotel by your private guide. You’ll head out for an insider’s peek at off-the-beaten-track landmarks that are not likely to survive the city’s newest development projects. Visit sights that are inaccessible to other visitors, including ancient carvings and a Qing-era private garden that is closed to the public. Other rare and informative stops include some of the city’s oldest private houses, a 14th-century temple dedicated to Confucius, and the former 500-year-old residence of a famous Chinese scholar. Wander through Mahjong markets and savory food stalls as you go behind the scenes to discover the heart of the traditional city quarters. Hear commentary from your guide about each sight along the way. Finally, your guide will help you figure out transportation back to your hotel or wherever you’d like to head next.
