Why the score stands out
A 9.8 from 135 reviews is unusual. Most Shanghai tours with that many reviews sit between 9.1 and 9.4, so this listing is worth a look if you only have time for one short walk.
At 2 hours 15 minutes it is the shortest of the Shanghai walking tours, which makes it easy to fit before an evening plan.
