5.00We highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Mary, was excellent and gave us wonderful insight into the area and the culture. Her English was excellent and she's a very well traveled guide. The river cruise was truly spectacular and afterwards we were taken, by a luxury van to other locations including Yu Garden, French Concession and walked through these areas to see them beautifully lit. It is definitely worth taking this evening tour as the city really lights up! Also the seeing Shanghai from the river cruise is spectacular!

5.00My tour with Autumn was simply amazing. She guided me through Chinatown, took me on a beautiful cruise along the Huangpu River, and then we explored Xintiandi and the French Concession. Autumn was very accommodating, professional, and spoke excellent English, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The highlight of the evening was definitely the Huangpu River cruise. Seeing the Shanghai skyline lit up at night is breathtaking and truly a must-do for anyone visiting the city. I highly recommend this tour and Autumn as a guide — it’s an absolute must for every traveler in Shanghai.
We had a very enjoyable...
