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!

3 hours of fun

Published on Feb, 2025

A few days ago I did the tour with Aubrey through the French Sektion. Even I did the tour to the Bund before, I got many new informations about habits in China. And of course about the history, architecture and structure of the French Sektion. After the tour you will be more able to explore this nice part of the town by yourself.

Amazing tour with impressive guide / stories

Published on Feb, 2025

Aubrey is amazing and knew a lot about Shanghai as a native. The stories she presented during the tour are vivid and impressive!

Lovely tour in Shanghai French Concession

Published on Feb, 2025

After the Shanghai highlights walking tour with Celina, this French Concession Tour with Aubrey was, again, amazing! We explored such a beautiful hidden gem area with so much knowledge and fun stories learned. The group vibe was just perfect, I made great friends. Fantastic experience, thank you and highly recommend this tour for any visitors in Shanghai!

Amazing! Do it! Great day.

What can I say? What an amazing Tour! I was visiting the city on a business trip with just a few hours to spent. For me it was important to be able to fit as much information and sightseeing as possible and this tour gives you exactly that. The guide is really amazing, not only for his knowledge but also her personality, so much fun. I highly recommend this tour to everybody. It´s time well spent.

A big thank you to the...
