For us, what stayed with me wasn't the booking or the car. It was the time at Shanghai Shopping with Local Shopping Guru, when we could slow down and actually look around.

Nadia J.🇦🇪 UAE★★★★★2026-01

Practically speaking, the route through Shanghai could be awkward to arrange independently. Having one person keep the timing straight made the whole thing calmer. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Shanghai Shopping with Local Shopping Guru.

Amelia I.🇦🇹 Austria★★★★☆2025-04

I underestimated how much standing the day involved. A short sit-down between stops made the second half much easier. For 4 hours and 30 minutes around Shanghai, the pace felt about right.

Tom F.🇳🇱 Netherlands★★★★★2024-07

Honestly, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Shanghai, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly. For this itinerary, the number of stops was enough.
