Things to do French Concession Free Tour of Shanghai
What better way to explore this great city than by having an Indigenous inhabitant tell you stories about the history and evolution of this great city? I am a local Shanghainese, born here, and have lived here all my life.
The French Concession is the area of Shanghai that the French government administered from 1849 until 1946. The area's tree-lined avenues and many fine old houses still retain an air of the “Paris of the East.” In particular, the many wrought iron fences and stair railings will look familiar to anyone who knows Paris. Highlights of the Tour:
Middle Huaihai Road
The Former French Club
1920's Old Neighborhood
Shanghai Culture Square
Sinan Mansions
Former French Park
Xingtiandi
First Communist Congress Site
The tour will end at Xintiandi. Last-minute bookings are possible, and bookings are open until the start of the tour! Free tours do not have a set price. Instead, each person gives the guru the amount that he or she considers appropriate at the end of the tour. The recommended tips usually range from 150 yuan per person to 300 yuan per person, depending on satisfaction with the tour.

I had been to Shanghai plenty of times but my first time taking a walking tour and I’m really glad that I did. Bill was amazing; he is so knowledgeable and interesting. His tour included many great, personal anecdotes as we traversed through the Former French Concession. I’m so glad I did his tour because I learnt so much and had fun doing so. I highly recommend Bill’s tour!

“Shanghai below the surface ”
Really enjoyed the French Concession walking tour. Bill had a lot of knowledge and shared information about the past and current inhabitants of this historic neighborhood. Bill took us down streets and into lanes we likely would not have ventured into on our own. His casual manner kept us moving yet we never felt rushed. Separately he offered info on nearby restaurants and things the local liked to eat in the morning. I highly recommend this tour as a jumping off point for your own exploration.
