Guest Reviews | Wheely Bike Tours Shanghai

Shanghai at street level

I recently took the Shanghai Highlight tour on a short stopover in Shanghai. I was looking for something authentic that involved some outdoor exercise too. The booking process was easy and confirmation shortly followed with detailed instructions on where and when to meet. My tour was guided by Tina, who was excellent. After a short orientation to the bike and a run-through of some safety information, it was time to hit the road. I am no stranger to riding a bike, but I was unsure how I would manage on the busy streets of Shanghai. Luckily, most of the roads we rode had dedicated bike lanes and with each pedal my confidence grew and I felt like a local as we rode alongside the real locals going about their daily life. Some highlights that stick out were the French Concession, longtangs, local food markets, hidden buddhist temple and the Yu Yuan area. This tour is for someone who doesn't want to experience Shanghai from the top of a red tourist bus only.
