Unique Finds!
Our tour guide was awesome! Very informed about the cultural history and significance of all the areas, while picking tons of unique spots we otherwise would have glazed over on our own.
via Tripadvisor
A great introduction to Shanghai’s food scene.
It’s a great tour for solo travellers, small groups, those with limited spare time and people new to Shanghai. Jade did an incredible job explaining the cuisine in Shanghai, the highlight's and must try’s while in Shanghai. Jade was also knowledgeable in explaining the landmarks and getting around this massive city. Highly recommend!!!

Jade was a lovely young...
Jade was a very lovely and well-educated who took us to very different places. First stop was a well-known Sichuan style restaurant only some metres from Nanjing East Road, after that we headed to former French Concession and started our Cocktail Journey through Shanghai. The highlight of the tour was sure the Rooftop Bar at the Bund with the "Hidden Treasure" Cocktail. We had some nice hours and very nice chatting with Jade, who was never shy to answer our questions and even picked up some German slang ;)

Great Experience, highly recommend
I booked this tour for a work event. Despite a larger size of the group, everyone absolutely enjoyed themselves. Jim and his colleague are knowledgeable, organized, good with communication, and most importantly, took great care of us. They packed the night with delicious food, bubbly drinks, and stunning views of Shanghai. I cannot recommend this tour more!

Amazing Foodie and Rooftop Bar Hopping tour!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Private Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping cost?
+
Prices start at $91 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 Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Private Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping?
+
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 Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping?
+
Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Shanghai Foodie Adventures with Rooftop Bar Hopping 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.
