This is a must do activity in Shanghai and a great way to orient yourself if you are a first time visitor to the city. Thomas our tour leader was warm and welcoming and very knowledgable about the different areas of Shanghai. We stopped at really quirky and off the tourist path places which gave us a great insight into... More

My husband and I did an afternoon tour with Sammy as our driver/guide. He was from the US, so language was not a problem, and was very knowledgeable and a safe driver (very important in Shanghai!). It got very cold as the day wore on and we wish he would have included a stop for a hot beverage, so we... More

This tour was fantastic. Not to be missed. We had such fun with our great guide Kewen Wu. We saw and found more info about Shanghai than we could have ever done on our own. Thanks Kewen! More

Thomas and his team provide a great experience to discover Shanghai. After this ,you will never see Shanghai with the same eyes. Your guide will take you in aeras that you don't know even if you live there for a long time. He will give you plenty of information about history, architecture and life style. All the team are warm... More

After consultation as to what we had already seen and what we would like to see, our rider/ guide Flo took us to out of the way places in the Old Town and French Concession areas we would never have found on our own. Great fun, educational and interesting. More

Our visit to Shanghai will always be a great memory. Shanghai Sideways was the icing on the cake. With the temperature at freezing, we were having second thoughts. But with Flo as our driver and guide, no regrets. Being the only couple on tour that day, she made us her priority. We did what we wanted to do. Our tour... More

We did a 4 hour tour in mid February and are so glad we did. From the moment of collection (LOL it was a black bike) and the tailored planning of our personalised itinerary we knew we would be in for a fantastic time. Our guide, Joe, was charming, very knowledgeable and eager for us to do "our thing" and... More

Had a fantastic time on the tour. Far, far, far more fun than sitting in a bus. Would do it again in a heartbeat. More

I set-up this trip as a surprise-birthday present for my partner Rolf, who comes from Germany. I took him to the meeting point and introduce him to Jonathan whom I said has something for him. Then Jonathan took us a little walk on the pedestrian and after a while, he suddenly stopped and showed us the sidecar...he's really surprised! After... More
