    Why Travelers Love This

    Overview

    A private car, two people serving you, a day built around your interests. Max 5 guests. Your English-fluent local companion and driver pick you up in a Buick GL8 for 8 fully customizable hours. Before you land, we send a guide covering Alipay, DiDi, VPN, eSIM — everything visitors find tricky. We're available before, during, and after your trip. We bring a menu: neighborhoods, markets, temples, restaurants, and local activities we love. Want to change plans halfway? That's the point. What sets us apart: Two people focused on you — one drives, one companion. No fixed script, no kickback stops, no rushing. We match your pace. Any local activity you dream up — tai chi, hanfu, Chinese medicine, dumpling-making, fake market haggling — just ask. Classic sights if you want, but we prefer the Shanghai we live in: design districts, temples beside art spaces, hidden lane houses, morning tai chi in the park. You experience Shanghai. You don't manage it.

    Itinerary

    Standard8 hours
    1

    Stop 1

    1 hour

    This is a fully customized experience — there is no fixed route. After booking, we'll ask what you care about: food, photography, history, architecture, shopping, local life, or something else entirely. We then build an itinerary around your interests. On the day itself, your companion can adapt in real time — stay longer at a place you love, skip something you're not feeling, or pivot to something completely different. Nothing is locked in.

    2 hours

    Wander tree-lined Wukang Road and Anfu Road with your companion. 1920s lane houses, tucked-away coffee shops, historic mansions hidden behind ivy-covered walls. Your companion knows which doors lead to courtyard gardens and which alley has the best pour-over in the neighborhood.

    3 hours

    Start at Shanghai's oldest temple — a working Buddhist site with a 1,700-year-old pagoda. Then cross into the West Bund, where contemporary art galleries and riverside walks sit right next to ancient history. Two Shanghais, side by side.

    1 hour 30 minutes

    A 1920s expat club turned design district. Art deco architecture, indie bookstores, a stunning swimming pool-turned-event-space, and some of the city's best casual dining. A perfect wind-down spot that most visitors never find.
