This is where Shanghai began - the heart of the city for centuries before the arrival of westerners. Now, it's undergoing a massive transformation. See these historic streets before they're gone forever

Amazing!
We were blessed to have Lisa as our guide, she was so warm, informative and answered any questions we had. It was such a special experience to have a Shanghai local as a guide on this tour. Lisa also has impeccable English skills. She truly felt like a friend after a few hours. The tour was perfectly timed, and we got to see many parts of the city that we never would have seen otherwise. We especially enjoyed stopping for a snack also! This was such a professionally run tour. I was a little nervous about using a moped for the first time in the city but Lisa gave us a demonstration and always made sure that we were comfortable and safe. This was the best experience of our time in Shanghai, I can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you Lisa!

☆☆☆☆☆
Excellent tour! This moped adventure is the perfect way to see the city's hidden gems. Zoe was my guide and she was top-notch—incredibly informative, friendly, and shared deep historical insights as I rode through the Old Town and French Quarter. The mopeds are easy to handle and the route is very well-planned. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Shanghai!"
Response from the operator: Thank you for liking our tour! Very happy to see you enjoyed your tour. Wish you a great great journey in China!

Absolutely 10/10!
Absolutely the highlight of our Shanghai trip! Did the moped tour with Xirui yesterday and it was brilliant. His English is perfect.Felt so local weaving through hidden alleys and snacking on street food we'd never find alone. Safe, easy to ride, and saw a side of the city you miss on big tours. 10/10 would recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! So glad Xirui (also one of the co-founders) made your moped tour the absolute highlight of your trip—exploring hidden alleys, trying local snacks, and experiencing the real Shanghai. Hope to have you back for more adventures soon!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped?
+
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 Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped?
+
Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Old Shanghai on an Electric Moped 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.
