5.00An excellent and relaxing view of a different aspect of Shanghai. My wife and I did the city tour on the 18th and this tour the day after. They compliment each other really well. The fascinating, busy metropolis on one hand and a quiet, more relaxed, older side of Shanghai on the other. We were fortunate enough to have the same guide, May, for both who was knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. Our lunch was also first class. Highlights of the day were the relaxing boat trip and the lunch and of course our conversations with May. Thanks Viator for another first class tour. I would totally recommend doing both tours back to back.
