Overview

As they say, “Paris ne s’est pas fait en un jour!” (“Paris was not made in a day!”) And by the same token, neither was the French Concession of Shanghai. In 3 hours, hear captivating stories about the French Concession and its colorful past. Learn about the celebrities and commoners alike who once strolled down these streets, and find yourself becoming a part of the legacy of this place. IMPORTANT: Please note that the booking fee charged here is solely to reserve your spot, as the tour itself operates on a TIP-BASED model, meaning you decide how much your guide deserves for their hard work. We suggest a tip of 150-200 RMB or 20-25 USD/EURO, which we believe is a fair amount compared to the cost of a regular walking tour:) This voluntary tip is a way to recognize your guide's efforts and helps us maintain this exciting job! Booking is limited to groups of up to 6 people. If your group exceeds 6 people, please contact us to arrange a private tour. Thanks for your understanding!
