    It was wonderful to see Shanghai from the river, and we were especially lucky to experience a spectacular drone show that made the tour even more memorable. Afterward, we enjoyed a delicious dinner and captured some great photos of the city’s three iconic towers. All of this was made even better thanks to the exceptional guidance and warm hospitality of Lucy. She was fantastic and truly made the tour unforgettable. We highly recommend her—she ensures a successful and memorable experience every time! 👍🏻

    This tour was excellent! We had a very tasty meal, at a restaurant that was lovely. Shirley, our guide, was incredible! She answered all of our questions and gave us great information about the culture of Shanghai. She was thoughtful, kind, and a great guide. The boat ride gave us the amazing opportunity to see the Shanghai skyline at night, in all its glory! Don’t miss this tour!!
