The tour guide Shirley is very kind and professional. She explained very well all necessary details to make the dinner and the trip nice. The only thing is that they should have seats upstairs to appreciate the view during all the tour because being up is not pleasant. You can take very nice pictures of the buildings and city.
Amazing experience....

Shirley was exceptional!! She has a wealth of knowledge and educated us on the history of Shanghai. Being picked up at our hotel was great. There were six of us who attended and we had substancial room in the van. The boat was nice. I had a flashback to the Titantic as the stair cases were classic. Facilities were clean. The ONLY draw back was the "buffet". The food was lack luster but edible. Overall, our team would do it again on our annual trip to Shanghai! Shout out to Shirley!!!!
