An Outstanding Tour in Shanghai – Michael Made All the Difference

An Outstanding Tour in Shanghai – Michael Made All the Difference This tour was absolutely fantastic. Shanghai is an incredible city, and the experience exceeded our expectations. A special highlight was the VIP area on the river cruise. It really makes a difference: you have a privileged view of Shanghai’s spectacular skyline while enjoying the cruise in a completely peaceful, quiet and comfortable environment, away from the crowds. It was definitely worth it and made the boat trip even more special. But what truly made this tour exceptional was Michael, our guide. We have been travelling around China for 16 days and have had at least seven different guides during our trip, some of whom spent entire days with us. We only spent two or three hours with Michael, and yet I can say without any hesitation that he was the best guide we had during our entire 16-day trip in China. Michael was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely engaging. In such a short amount of time, he managed to make our experience in Shanghai truly memorable. A fantastic tour, an excellent VIP cruise experience and, above all, an outstanding guide. Congratulations to Michael — he truly made all the difference. Highly recommended!

Last night in Shanghai

What a great way to spend our last night in Shanghai. Roy was very personable and knowledgeable. He had great suggestions for food, including those delicious soup dumplings. In between food and sights , he gave us some insight into Shanghai and history of the city. Would highly recommend and ask for Roy, you won't regret it.

A wonderful evening in Shanghai

This was a wonderful experience and I can’t recommend it enough. From pick up to drop off it could not be faulted. One of our party is mobility impaired and they were accommodated for without fuss. What really made the night special was the excellence of our guide Michael, if I could give more than 5 stars for him alone if I would.

A perfect evening in Shanghai.

What a fabulous evening we had in Shanghai with Michael. We chose the VIP Huangpu River cruise - worth every yuan. We even had a private limo with massage chairs. The dinner and ride to the top of the Shanghai Tower were highlights of our life. Michael was so knowledgeable with outstanding English. He did everything to make our tour perfect in every way, even explaining about our food and Chinese table manners and customs. Michael was absolutely superlative in every way. We cannot thank and recommend him enough.
