A full day with a good track record
Among the full-day Shanghai tours, a 9.4 from 143 reviews is a strong combination of score and sample. It is a sensible default if you want one guide for the day and do not need a theme.

Walk, ride or guide
If a full day feels long, the free walking tours take 2 to 4 hours. If you prefer to move on wheels, the Shanghai bike tour is also an 8 hour listing with fewer reviews.
