5.00Booking was super easy. Communication with Tom and Mary was instant and easy. Pick up right on time and the evening river cruise and sites visited were absolutely incredible. We only had one evening in Shanghai so this allowed us to see the most in a short period. Mary, our tour guide met us right on time and lead us every step of the way with her perfect English. We really appreciated her flexibility, allowing us to window shop, stop for a refreshment, etc. thank you Tom and Mary for a fantastic experience. If you are thinking of booking this tour, please do not hesitate as you will not be disappointed.

5.00Tom is outstanding 👏. In addition to providing a great VIP tour, he went above and beyond in arranging to pick me up closer to PVG Airport and helping me retrieve my Tibet visa which went to a different hotel than where I was staying. 1st class experience all the way. The city lights at night along the river is simply spectacular. Don't miss the cruise. Soooo worth it.
