    We had the most incredible Shanghai night tour with our guide, Cassie. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and she made the evening truly unforgettable. The night began with a relaxing Huangpu River cruise, where we were able to take in the dazzling skyline of Shanghai lit up against the night sky. Cassie knew all the best spots on the boat for photos and explained the history and significance of the buildings we were seeing, which made the experience so much more meaningful. After the cruise, we visited the Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world. Cassie timed everything perfectly so that we were able to enjoy the stunning city views without feeling rushed. She shared fascinating insights about the architecture, the city’s rapid development, and even pointed out hidden gems from above that most tourists would never notice. What really stood out about Cassie was her warmth, professionalism, and passion for her city. She made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and engaged, and she answered every question with so much knowledge. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she went above and beyond to make the night special. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Shanghai, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Cassie. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city—you’ll walk away with breathtaking views, fascinating knowledge, and memories to last a lifetime.

    Our tour guide, Lea, was terrific. She would receive 5 stars. She and the driver arrived on time, was communicative and informative. I would recommend Lea to anyone as a tour guide. Our Shanghai Tower Option was cancelled due to bad weather (which was honest of the company and much appreciated because it would have been a waste of time). However, we were not impressed with the Private Night Tour-VIP River Cruise. While we were a small party of 3 on the tour, it was hardly private with the large crowds with which we had to contend. There were far too many people on the tour; hardly intimate or romantic, or amazing. People were loud, pushy, and jostling for a space in line. A fight actually broke out in front of us. On board, it was the same, except people were fighting for chairs on the boat. However, sailing around the river with all the lights at night was astounding but I would opt for a more private and intimate vessel if possible.

  • Excellent tour
