3.Shanghai bar hopping tour in the former french concession

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 43 reviews · from $29Top rated

Explore Shanghai’s Former French Concession with Jill, visiting local bars, tasting unusual drinks, and meeting a small group for $29.

“I was visiting Shanghai alone and the tour presented an ideal opportunity to have a drink and socialise with six other people. The mix of people was pretty good - they were friendly and great company and the host Jill was great with organising payment for the group and had the ideal personality for the role. The places she took us to were fun and not expensive. I thought the bar that required us to mix or own cocktails was the highlight of what turned out to be a really enjoyable evening. I'd do it again. Thanks Jill.”
