❓️What is the difference between morning and afternoon tours?
The itinerary is exactly the same, except that the afternoon tour ends at The Bund, allowing you to enjoy the night view or take a river ferry, while the morning tour takes you to walk 30min longer and ends at the Yuyuan Garden Bazaar, giving you the chance to visit the garden (which closes at 4 pm) and do more sightseeing. The morning tour lasts around 4 hours, while the afternoon tour lasts 3.5 hours. Both offer great experiences – choose the time that suits you best!
🤑HOW MUCH THE TOUR COSTS:
The Free Tour operates on a tip-based system, meaning you get to decide the price at the end of the tour based on how much you enjoyed it (and we believe you’ll love it!). Based on data from our 15,000+ previous visitors, the average tip for this tour is around 25-30 EURO (200-250 RMB) per person.
🔎Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early to account for heavy traffic and navigating the massive metro station. Look for the YELLOW umbrella to find us!!
💓We look forward to meeting you soon!!

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
