Amazing experience!

Absolutely 100% Awesome Experience. Our son celebrated his birthday and loved it (as did the adults). And the best part was Annie. I have been to Shanghai a number of times and learned so much from her. I wish I would have done this a long time ago.

Great time and well organize

Outstanding experience. Our guide Annie was personable, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable — she walked us through Shanghai’s history as she showed us around the city, and her enthusiasm was contagious. The night river cruise delivered stunning skyline views, and the hot pot dinner afterward was a real cultural highlight. Annie encouraged us to try dishes outside our comfort zone, which turned into one of the most memorable parts of the night. Service was quick and efficient throughout. A genuinely well-run, well-curated experience, highly recommend, especially if you can book with Annie.

Good and well organised.

We had a very good tour guide, Kelvin with us. He came to our hotel and fetched us and we went into a mini bus as there were 7 of us. Kelvin did all the necessary and we got the VIP floor . Everything was perfect. The hotpot dinner was so good and held in a popular hotpot shop. Food was so much that we couldn't finish them. Kelvin is a very good and acknowledgeable guide. He spoke both in English and Mandarin very well. Strongly recommend this tour otherwise you can't take good pictures at night . Really worth it !

Great cultural experience 💫

The excursion was prepared in a very short period of time on Saturday evening, which is great)) Extremely friendly guide Jessica gave us so much information about the city and culture. The driver was very polite and was right on time to pick us up and to bring back very comfortably. Sunny was very quick with communication and very clear with all the instruction. Highly recommend this tour and will be happy to take another tours next time I’m in Shanghai 💫
