7.4-Hour Nightlife Adventure & Tasting Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 81 reviews · from $45Best value

Ride Shanghai after dark on a 3.5-hour bike tour, see Huangpu skyline from both sides, snack at Yu Garden, and stop at The Bund jazz bar.

“Great way to see Shaghai. Getting around on the bike is surprisingly easy and should suit a lot of different people. The guide was very good in interesting and to-the-point descriptions of japanese-, british-, and french concessions that we passed. The info of the tour indicates that you can get off your bike into the jazz club or to shop - but no chance to do that, you actually don’t leave the bike anywhere. Not a problem though, the tour is great fun and they should remove that piece from the tour info.”
