What does the US$672 starting price include?

It is an indicative private-group starting price for four guests, equivalent to US$168 per guest. It includes pickup and return within Shanghai's main central hotel districts, a private air-conditioned vehicle and driver during the confirmed service window, a private English-speaking guide, Yu Garden admission, one ordinary Huangpu public-ferry crossing, bottled water and no compulsory shopping stops. Lunch, Shanghai Tower, evening cruises and other upgrades are not included.

What is the published price for a smaller or larger group?

Outside major public holidays and unusual pickup requirements, the indicative private-group prices are: one guest from US$468; two guests from US$558 total; three guests from US$628 total; four guests from US$672 total; five guests from US$795 total; and six guests from US$930 total. Six guests may require a larger vehicle, which is checked before confirmation. Optional experiences remain separate.

Is this a private tour or a shared group tour?

It is private for your booking party. You have your own vehicle, driver and English-speaking guide during the confirmed service window. Yu Garden, the Bund, the ferry and public streets remain shared public places, so other visitors will be present.

Can you collect us from the airport, cruise port or railway station?

Yes, where the timing and route are workable, but these are not priced the same as a central-hotel day because flight, train or ship timing, luggage, traffic and terminal or port access can change the service hours. Hongqiao airport or railway station is quoted from US$68 per group each way, Pudong airport from US$128 per group each way and Wusongkou cruise port from US$138 per group each way, subject to the actual date and timing.

No. The base price stays clear and does not force every guest into a tourist lunch. You can keep independent lunch time, ask your guide for a practical suggestion, or add the pre-arranged curated Shanghainese lunch from US$38 per guest. Drinks are separate unless the written menu says otherwise.

Why does the Huangpu night-cruise upgrade cost US$328 for up to four guests?

The price is for an evening service extension, not just public cruise tickets. It includes standard cruise tickets for up to four guests, private vehicle, guide assistance and up to 2.5 additional service hours. The exact sailing, operator price and timing are confirmed before booking; premium cabin, dinner or private-charter products are not included unless quoted.

Can this tour work for children or older travelers?

Often yes. The vehicle and private guide allow pauses and a shorter walking route, but Yu Garden and historic lanes still have uneven paving, steps, crowds and standing time. Share ages, mobility needs, heat sensitivity, strollers or wheelchairs before booking so we can state what can and cannot be responsibly adapted.

What happens if weather, crowds or venue access changes?

Your guide adjusts the sequence where practical and explains the available alternative. Yu Garden, ferries, Shanghai Tower and cruises can change operation because of weather, capacity, safety, maintenance, reservation rules or public decisions. We do not promise empty lanes, a specific ferry sailing or a venue that has not been confirmed for your date.

How quickly can you confirm my date?

Send your date, group size and Shanghai hotel through the form or WhatsApp. During China business hours, we aim to reply within one hour with an availability check, a practical pickup plan and any relevant supplement. A booking is confirmed only after the written proposal, required payment and supplier arrangements are confirmed in writing.

When is my private China tour booking confirmed?

Your booking becomes binding only after the written travel contract and booking terms are accepted, the required initial payment is received in cleared funds, and AVIORA confirms the booking and relevant supplier arrangements in writing.

What payment and cancellation terms apply?

Your written proposal or booking confirmation states the currency, payment schedule, due dates, change conditions and cancellation schedule before you commit. Some hotels, transport tickets and special experiences may become non-refundable once booked or issued.
