Really enjoyable trip
Really enjoyable trip, focussed heavily on the refugee museum. Robert was knowledgeable and helpful and showed us many areas of historical interest.

Visit to Jewish Refugee Musuem (Shanghai)
Lea is very knowledgable and friendly. She is also an excellent communicator with a great command of English. We left with wonderful memories of the role Shanghai played in saving the lives of 24,000 Jews during the Holocaust in Europe.

Informative, engaging, and moving private tour - highly recommend!
We took this tour with Lea on a very warm July afternoon and were completely delighted with it! Lea arrived on time at our hotel lobby to pick us up and took us to the other side of the river, to the Bund area, in a comfortable air-conditioned car. She was kind, friendly, and well-spoken, and her English was excellent. She shared lots of interesting information about the city and the role played in it by Jewish families in the early twentieth-century as well as the experiences of the Jewish refugees who began arriving in the late 1930s. We walked along the Bund, which is where the refugees arrived themselves, and visited the famous and beautiful Peace Museum built by the Sassoons, before taking another car to get to the fantastic Jewish Refugees Museum. Inside the museum, Lea continued to share her knowledge and also gave us plenty of time to view and read about the numerous items on display. This museum, with its detailed and amazing displays and its moving wall of names, was an incredibly moving experience. We then finished the tour by visiting the adjacent synagogue, apartment buildings where the refugees lived, and the park where the children played. After over 2.5 hours, our tour concluded in the park and Lea gave us advice on where to have a cool drink before we headed back to our hotel area. I thank Lea for giving us such an excellent tour, and I wish her all the best. This was also a great value for a private tour, and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Jewish and Chinese history and/or World War II.

Interesting morning with a Shanghai local
Robert was knowledgeable and generous with details about Shanghai that we wouldn’t have discovered were it not for having a truly local guide.

The Shanghai Jewish Story
Our guide Robert met us at our hotel on time. Robert spoke excellent English and took us by taxi to the Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum. It’s quite unimpressive from the street but once you get inside and move from room to room it’s very impressive. Although Robert is a local Shanghai citizen he has a good understanding of the history of the Jewish community in Shanghai and it’s a very interesting story and really worthwhile. The tour finished with a visit to the Peace hotel which was originally the home of the Sassoon family in Shanghai

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.
Is 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 77 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Hour Private Tour to Jewish Ghetto and Shanghai Bund start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Shanghai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Shanghai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
