About this experience

This tour allows you to experience China Venice in a very comfortable, relax way. If you like ancient houses, canals and stone bridges, this is the right place to visit; if you are a foodie and would like to try authentic Chinese foods such as meat wrapped in leaves (扎肉), steamed pork dumplings (肉馅烧卖), roast soybeans (炙毛豆), braised pettitoes (红烧蹄髈), dark-rice zongzi (阿婆粽) and rose-flavored fermented bean curd (臭豆腐), this is also right place to go. I am a licensed English-speaking tour guide for more than 10 years and have toured customers from many countries. Since I travel to many countries and I also hire tour guides during my visits, I know what tourists expects from the tour guides and culture differences between different countries. Book my tour , you wont be disappointed.

What you'll see and do

  1. Zhujiajiao Ancient Town

    Zhujiajiao is an ancient town located at the bank of the Dianshan Lake in Qingpu District in China. The town, with a history of over 1,000 years, is the most well reserved ancient town in Shanghai and has been known as “Venice of Shanghai” for its simple but attractive appearance typical of towns in the south part of China. In 1991, it was designated by the State Council as the “Well-Known Chinese Cultural Town”.

  2. ShangHai XinTianDi NanLi

    Reconstructed in 1999 from Shikumen structures (literally "stone gate", a unique architectural style of traditional Shanghai residential buildings), Shanghai Xintiandi or Shanghai New World is a vehicle-free leisure area provided with vivid local culture of Shanghai and exotic atmosphere. After almost nine years' construction, the original old and shabby Shikumen area presents a totally new appearance attracting both domestic and international figures and a lot of international model contests, fashion shows, musical performance and news conferences were held here.

  3. Tianzifang

    Shanghai Tianzifang is located on Taikang Road, where used to be a roadside market before 1998. After the Huangpu District government implemented the policy of moving the roadside markets to the indoor areas in September 1998, the Taikang Road was repaved. The once-crowded Tianzifang Alley was painted with the colors of SOHO, transformed into a modern creative gathering place, and added a humanistic and artistic atmosphere.

Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

How much does Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession cost?

+

Prices start at $340 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 Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession?

+

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 Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession?

+

Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Day Tour to Water Town Zhujiajiao and French Concession 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.
