An unforgettable experience! The VIP River Cruise offered stunning panoramic views of the Bund skyline lit up at night—absolutely magical. The private tour was smooth and well-organized, with a knowledgeable guide who made the experience even more enjoyable. The optional visit to the Shanghai Tower was totally worth it

This was an excellent tour. Cassie was an especially accommodating and patient tour guide: she helped me practice my Chinese, and she found us a place to eat. The river cruise was amazing - Pudong is gorgeous from the river. And the top of the Shanghai tower - wow! Special thanks to Cassie for a great tour!

The river cruise and the Shanghai tower are an absolute must for all visitors to Shanghai. Roy, our tour guide, is from Shanghai and very knowledgeable of the city. His English language skills are excellent and he gave us lot of interesting facts of the city, it’s development in the last 30 years. The Shanghai skyline with illuminations is absolutely spectacular and the views from the Shanghai Tower obervation deck on 118th floor stunning. The entire tour was very well organised. We were picked up at the hotel and driven to the bund to catch the cruise. After the cruise, we were driven to Shanghai tower and finally dropped off at the hotel. We had a lovely evening and the river cruise is the best way to view Shanghai skyline along.
