Good tour

Saw much in nanjing. Guide was ok. I knew more chinese history. Much walking and driving. Did not see actual ming tomb because we went to sun yat-sen memorial, that was worth seeing. Not sure why we couldnt see both since they are next to each other. 7 hours touring. One hour more would have been good. According to private tour description they were supposed to drop me off at hotel from train station. At the beginning of the tour they said I was on my own at the end. Cost me 100 rmb.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment. We did not clearly describe at the beginning of the trip that this itinerary includes a pick-up from the hotel to the train station, but does not include a return service to the hotel. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Private Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Private Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train cost?

+

Prices start at $198 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 Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train take?

+

Plan for about 11 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 Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 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 Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train?

+

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 Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train?

+

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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Nanjing Day Tour from Shanghai by Bullet Train 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.
