Amazed - What a beautiful way to capture the city. This night tour is a must. The ever colour changing of the buildings is magnificent! Linda was our guide, and what a great one she was. Her knowledge in the culture ,history and traditions of China haves of a clear understanding about the country and city

Evening Shanghai Tour - Linda was my guide and she was fantastic! I was traveling for business and only have a few days to see Shanghai. My hotel was located far off-site and they coordinated a driver to pick me up and drop me off at the hotel. There was a lot of clear communication and I felt in great hands the entire tour. I was traveling solo and felt at ease the whole trip with Linda. We started off with a night tour of the bund. Linda was very informative and did a great job capturing the best photos. We then travelled to old town and did some tea tasting and walked the zig zag bridge. We wrapped up in the French concession. Linda told me many great facts of Shanghai and was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with. Our driver was very prompt and helped get us to each point seamlessly. I highly recommend this tour and Linda as a guide when you’re in Shanghai!

Not to be missed! - Seeing Shanghai at night was mind blowing. Not only were the lights incredible, but it was much cooler and therefore more pleasant. We had excellent VIP seats on the cruise boat so we could sit and enjoy the unobstructed view as it was not crowded like the rest of the boat. Roy, our guide, spoke perfect English and was quite personable and knowledgeable. All in all an outstanding evening and the highlight of my 5 weeks in China.

Amazing VIP Huangpu River Cruise with Roy - Our Private Evening Tour: VIP Huangpu River Cruise and Shanghai Lights was fantastic, thanks to our guide, Roy. Roy's knowledge and passion for Shanghai's history made the tour special. As we cruised along the Huangpu River, his engaging commentary brought the city's illuminated skyline to life. Roy was great at answering our questions and making everyone feel involved. His friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. The VIP cruise offered stunning views and excellent service. But it was Roy's expert guidance that made it unforgettable. For an amazing tour with breathtaking views and great insights, this is a must-do in Shanghai.

An amazing evening cruise plus a few extras! - This private VIP evening cruise on the Huangpu River in Shanghai was amazing! Thank goodness the weather was clear enough to see that glittering Shanghai skyline during the cruise. Easily one of the best city skylines we’ve ever seen and we loved watching every second of it during the cruise. Mary was our tour guide and she did a great job making sure we were taken care of the whole evening, the seats we had during the evening cruise were indeed VIP. After the boat cruise, Mary took us to see the Yuyuan Garden at night which was amazing to see with all the lights illuminated and also the Former French Concession which had some lively vibes at night. The whole tour lasted about 4 hours or so. Special thanks once again to Mary for being our guide that night and also Mr Tang for being our driver and keeping us safe! Highly recommended tour when you’re in Shanghai! - Nolan

Evening cruise was magical - Tom was prompt and knowledgeable. His English was perfect. We found the nighttime experience worthwhile (having seen many of the sights during the daytime). Highly recommend!

Shanghai at night comes alive with lights and excitement. - Our guide Mǎlì Lin was very informative and engaging. The river cruise was entertaining, both the light displays on the buildings and boats, as well as from our fellow passengers. The tour of Old Town and the French Quarter was spectacular. The evening tour also avoided the heat of the day.
