My wife, myself, and our two kids (9 and 11) had a great time on the bikes, and really enjoyed the sights, sounds, and wind in our faces. The kids each had a go in the sidecars and on the pillion seats, and there were no problems in either. Having ridden extensively myself, I was (to tell the truth) rather... More

I had a great time again with Shane as my guide. I love the fun and freedom of riding in the sidecar and Shane was very knowledgeable about all the sights we saw. The Bund is beautiful and by contrast with this old area of China are the street markets with everything from live frogs seafood to local fruit and... More

This was hands down the coolest tourist experience I've had in Shanghai since moving here 4 months ago! We did the 4 hour tour and could have kept going! The only thing that would have made it even more interesting from a historical point of view would be to have some more in depth info on the historical relevance of... More

This is such a must-do when in Shanghai, it gave us the true old shanghai feel, and I do feel nostalgic being on the sidecar. Sammy arrived promptly to pick us from the Bund, and with his sunny personality, artistic outlook in life, and knowledge of the history of shanghai made it truly a tour for anyone looking to learn...

Got to see sights and areas of the city that would have never had the time or knowledge about. Driver/guide was fun and personable. Definitely recommend especially if you have limited time in the city.

One of the best ways to see a city is to drive around and no better way than on a motorcycle. These guys' knowledge is amazing and their insights into Shanghai fantastic, not the usual run-of-the-mill tour guides. Must visit the "Club" and the Japanese Commandant's house in the French Quarter !!! Shane is very professional, friendly, polite, warm &... More

Great tour! love the secret addresses of Thomas and his fellow guides... This is interesting not only for travellers but also for Shanghai residents. I actually have been on many tours already and I'm still not tired of it!

Having lived in Shanghai for almost 5 years it was great to find parts we hadn't explored! The guide was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to what we were interested in. Seeing the city from the perspective of the bike and sidecar was an experience in itself. Abigail was really helpful when making our booking and very prompt to... More

My travel partner recommended this tour because I have never been to Shanghai before, and I had very little time in the city. Since he had lived there previously for 3 or 4 years, I knew I had better take this tour. I wasn't disappointed. From the time I shook hands with Shane and Gary until the time our ride... More

Do not visit Shanghai without doing this tour! After being in Shanghai for 1.5 days and seeing the Bund, East Nanjing Street, the Old Town and French Concession I felt as if Shanghai was over hyped until we dod the Shanghai Insiders tour with Max! Shanghai then looked different, more interesting! I didn't want our 4 hour tour to end!... More
