First of all be prepared for crowds and queues, this is popular even mid-week. We went on the evening cruise and had to go off for dinner as we couldn't get on for a while. When the gates do open there is a mad rush to the boat as everyone wants a good spot to view. When we got onboard it was very crowded with the bottom and top floors filled up, the middle floor was nearly empty as they charge you extra to sit here (worth it in my opinion for the peace and space). The views are stunning of the modern side and the Bund side, both very different but the best lit up city I've been to. Don't miss this.
Good directions and pickup from hotel. Good guide and a cruise that was just under 1 hr-no dinner selected- doing the BUND area -both sides. WE upgraded to top deck to see views, ess crowds and seats on edge. Worth $25 AUD PP. Recommended by our experienced travel agent. He booked it all and t was seamless.
Beautiful views we had an amazing time.
Family of 4, we booked the cruise. Our wonderful guide Sean came to pick us up at the hotel. He was on time, kind, he knows the history well, and answered our questions. He even recommended a restaurant for dinner. Very pleasant evening. It's worth paying to have access to the upper deck on the boat. I recommend this company and ask for Sean :)
We have had several really great experiences during our time in China, but this is perhaps the most remarkable level of care and service we have received. The tour itself was breathtaking - such a colourful reflection of Shanghai’s place as a world centre of commerce and recent growth. However it was Jenny’s service that made this a stand out experience. There were fewer cruise boats on the day due to unusually high tides. This made the crowds larger than normal. Jenny anticipated this and steered us to a prime spot on the boat. She explained exactly what we were seeing in a way that only a local can do in perfect English. She even gave us a small gift. Finally she topped all of this by finding us a local snack bar when most places were closed, walking us to it and helping us order a local favourite before waking on to her subway station. This is a really exceptional experience that will be hard to top.
Jenny was thorough , quick to respond to our needs. She made the process easy. A great tour, do not hesitate to book.
The Shanghai night river cruise was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Bund from both sides. Our tour guide, Jenny, was incredibly professional, providing detailed and flexible information. Her knowledge and expertise made the experience truly worthwhile. I highly recommend it!
Jenny was an amazing guide. Her English is on point and her wealth of knowledge was so interesting. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and after the 45 minute boat ride to see the amazing lights Jenny took us to the Shanghai Tower for a delicious dinner. I highly recommend this tour and if you can ask for Jenny!
We only had a few hours in Shanghai, and Jenny organised everything seamlessly — a return driver from the airport, a restaurant reservation, and our wonderful tour guide, Jessie. She was informative, engaging, and made the evening truly memorable. Would give 10 stars!! Highly recommended!
This was a great night. We organised a trip to Shanghai Tower as well and so got to see the lights from above and then from the river. Jenny was a great guide with lots of tips and information. Dinner was very good with some special Shanghai food. Transport links works well. Strongly recommend
