Hello,
I am a solo traveller so I am looking for the cheapest trip. My flight arrives at 7:00am and then departs at 20:20pm.
I would like to see the modern Shanghai city, but also some traditional old streets. What tour do you think is best?
Thanks!

Hello! We will be arriving in Shanghai March the 10th with a 16 hour layover. We will get there from Cambodia at 4:25 AM and we will be leaving at 9:20 PM. We will probably be done by 6:30 AM. We are interested in tour Tour Code: BTG-SLT-002, we were wondering if its possible to do two tours, One the Tour Code: BTG-SLT-002 and one of the water towns tours like Tour Code: BTG-SLT-009 or Tour Code: BTG-SLT-018.
Thank you!
