How a multi-day booking works

Before Day 1

Send dates, group size, priorities, and current bookings. Your Shanghai guide reviews the gaps and confirms a practical route.

On-trip support

Get online help with timing, transport, communication, and changes. Water-town day-trip timing becomes part of the route instead of a separate question.

After each day

Review what worked and adjust the next day. Multi-day bookings use automatic discounts from Day 2, so planning continues without restarting the brief.

Shanghai for fun FAQs

Can I book online guidance only for Shanghai?

Yes. Many customers start with online planning and messaging. If your Shanghai itinerary changes, you can extend the booking or ask for a review of the next day.

How many days should I book for for fun?

One day is enough for a focused review or one district. Two to three days work better when you need to cover the bund and pudong viewpoints, old lanes and french concession walks, and time for changes.

What if there is no listed Shanghai guide for this focus?

Use auto-match. We review your dates, group size, and goals, then match a vetted local or tell you honestly if a suitable person is not available.
