  On the positive side- river cruise was beautiful and was private - only me and the guide. Negative - most of the time was in the car getting to the boat and back. Cruise was very crowded and bought VIP ticket onboard tk have a place to sit. Traffic leaving dock was horrible and took so long to get back to the city center tour ended without going to the pedestrian street. Didn’t get that part of the tour all because was so late at this point. So paid for only transportation to and from the boat and the boat ride.

• Ice experience, expected more

  The water town was nice to see but a little disappointed in the tour. It was really a tour but rather a taxi ride to the town with a paid entry into the town and ticket to a very small portion of the great wall. The driver was extremely nice, and prompt for timing.

• Easy way to see Shanghai by night

  Guide was knowledgeable and made getting around very easy. As a time poor solo traveler it delivered what I was looking for. As only person on the tour he tailored discussion to my interests. Definitely possible to sort boat and visit to shopping street without guide but this took all the stress out of it with some bonus history and insights into Shanghai.

• Great Tour Escort/Guide!!

  When we booked our tour via phone for 5/3/2019, we were not told that our booking date was scheduled on a Chinese holiday. Upon our arrival at our hotel in Shanghai we received a call from Viator stating that a major part of the tour was canceled due to the holiday and that all other guests had re-booked to a following day. Because we only had that night in Shanghai we agreed to take the river cruise part of the tour, without the trolley ride in Shanghai. We were very disappointed but our tour guide Tom Yu made up for the missing part of our tour. He was wonderful in so many ways: stayed by our side on the crowded river cruise, was very informative about every sight we saw, answered all of our questions, took us for a walk where we should have had the trolley ride, had us picked up and taken back to our hotel, did all of this and more even tho what would have been his group tour turned out to be a private tour for just my husband and me. His kindness, smiling attitude and amazing knowledge made us feel comfortable and glad that we did not cancel our tour. He deserves at least 5 stars for his excellence as our tour guide! We gave 4 stars only because Viator should have known in advance that only half of the tour would be allowed on this annual holiday in China. Tom was the best!!

  Bad experience. starting with the bad coordination in the schedule for the pick up at the hotel, the tour included a trip by train of tourism in nanjing and the visit to the lobby of the Peace Hotel, really waste of time. We had to wait 40 minutes for our tour on the river, which could have been avoided if we had arrived earlier to the dock or at least bought the tickets in advance. the guide Frank always walked like 5 meters before us very hurried without considering the participants. During the 40 minute wait he could have taken the opportunity to explain something about the city but he left us alone in the waiting room. We were called to get to the line very late and were placed in the middle of the boat, without the option of having a better view unless paying a VIP pass. I do not recommend the tour. It is preferable to take the metro or taxi and get there and take pictures of the lights from The Bund.
