Very Friendly, knowledgable guide and memorable tour. - We had a great tour. Our tour guide, Sunny, was very friendly and had a good knoweldge of the history of the area which made for a delightful and informative tour. Recommend the early evening as the best time to go as we saw the city both by day and cruised the river by night.

Could not have done without Sunny and Yu - Sunny, btw. a very trustworthy person, as our tour operator and Yu, our guide arranged a beautiful night tour. Every Yuan spent was worth while. Yu (in German spelling “ü“) was a very friendly and helpful guide, without him we would have never managed to find the right way in time. His German helped us to understand more of Chinese vs. German ways of thinking. We‘ve learnt that he‘s an English speaking guide as well! The VIP option was perfect, especially for that busy busy Sunday! We were also guided around in the top of the tower. Seeing the big „damper“ was another highlight. We like taking pictures and videos and Yu helped us with everything. That‘s why we did not go for dinner on the boat. Chaqu‘un à son goût! It may take some time for us to visit East Asia, i.e. China again, but in any case, we will always remind this delightful evening! Frank and Elke

Amazing lightshow cruise with Sammi! - Reminded me of New York, it was a very special boat ride with Sammi!! The lightshow is incredible and when we finished, Sammi had booked a restaurant for us with food coming as soon as we entered. Really efficient! It was the second time we had her as a tour guide and we were so happy we could spend more time with her! I learnt so much as well, she knows everything 🤩.

Awesome Experience - It was an awesome experience. My tour guide Linda was very knowledgeable, aside from sharing cool facts with Shanghai. She gave me some tips on how to navigate the city and provided me some locations to visit. Her professionalism exceeded my expectations. The cruise was fantastic, the vip seating provided me unobstructed views of shanghai skyline. Everything was at ease 📸
