Tour in Portuguese or Spanish

It was great the guide speaks Portuguese and that was a pleasant surprise. We’ve learned a lot about chineses technologies at car industry and robotics.

Response from the operator: It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed discovering China's advancements in EVs and robotics during the tour. We're especially happy that having a Portuguese-speaking person made the experience even more enjoyable and allowed you to gain deeper insights into China's technology and innovation. Thank you for sharing your feedback!

Great tour. Worth paying extra to visit floor 125 of the tower

Excellent tour. Knowledgeable guide and experienced stuff for the very first time. If i were to offer a pointer, it would be to include a trip to the 'top' and the very top, of the Shanghai tower. Otherwise, all great.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the knowledge of our guide. Your suggestion about visiting the highest observation levels of Shanghai Tower is valuable, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience.

Great trip

Our guide, Joyce, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Aside from introducing the advancements in the car tech, she also brought us to ride the driverless car and interact with robots. Thanks Joyce!

Response from the operator: It’s wonderful to hear that Joyce helped make your experience so enjoyable. We’re glad you had the chance to explore China’s car technology, experience the Robotaxi, and interact with robots during the tour. Joyce really appreciated your kind words. Thank you for sharing your experience!

An engaging and memorable afternoon…

Amy our guide was great and a pleasure to be with for our half day trip… we saw a lot in our only afternoon free on our business trip and in a way that was far more engaging than if we’d done them alone. Highly recommended 👍😑😇

Response from the operator: We’re so pleased Amy helped you make the most of your limited time in Shanghai. Discovering the city with a local guide can bring a completely different perspective, and we’re glad the experience was more engaging than exploring on your own. Amy really appreciated your recommendation!

Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit cost?

+

Prices start at $89 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 Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit take?

+

Plan for about 4 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 Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 9 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 Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit?

+

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 Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit?

+

Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Shanghai Tech Tour: Driverless Car Ride & Humanoid Robots visit 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.
