Xin was our tour guide and we were so lucky to have her. She is awesome. Her communication in English is master class. She is kind and extremely knowledgeable about Chinese history and culture. I recommend her without any reservations. Ask for her to be your tour and thank me later.
With Guide Lin and Alana’s support we had a great evening doing the Shanghai river cruise and dinner. Alana connected with us couple of days before to confirm all the plans. It was a perfect experience
We had such an amazing time on the Shanghai river night cruise. It went way beyond what we were expecting, how can you ask for more than that. From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully organized by Alana, which made the whole experience feel easy and completely stress-free. She is very good at what she does. Zhou, our driver, was waiting on us at every point of the adventure he was super friendly and very accommodating making our transportation for the evening a breeze. And Lin, our guide, was just wonderful, so warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. You could tell she really cared about making the experience special, and the insights she shared made the evening even more memorable. Seeing Shanghai illuminated at night from the river was absolutely breathtaking, one of those moments you won’t forget. So grateful we got to experience it. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai. It deserves more than 5 stars.
We had an excellent experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting China. Our guide, Kalvin, was outstanding. His English was fantastic, his knowledge was extensive, and he was professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. We genuinely could not have asked for a better guide. Our driver was also excellent—always punctual, courteous, and ensured we travelled comfortably and safely. A special thank you to Alana, who organised everything. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was incredibly helpful and accommodating with all our requests. Overall, this was a 5/5-star experience. Everything was seamless, well organised, and exceeded our expectations. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others.
WOW Exceptional Service. Thanks Lin Our experience with our guide Lin and driver service was phenomenal! I want to rate Lin's service as a perfect 5 out of 5. Lin is professional and went the extra mile for us. Her knowledge of Shanghai and it's history is remarkable. Lin has a heart of gold and we really enjoyed our time with her. Everything about our tour today with this dynamic young lady was exceptional! I will definitely recommend her to others and on our next visit to Shanghai, I will request for Lin to be our guide again. May your company grow from strength to strength and may you and your dynamic team be blessed with continued success. Mohammed & Bibi Aysha Lorgat
The night time river boat cruise on the Huangpu with Queena was absolutely amazing. She did a fantastic job with making this cruise unforgettable. Queena is very knowledgeable and has a terrific personality which made this cruise a must when your come to Shanghai. Queena was right on time for pickup at the hotel and truly made this trip something that I will never forget. If you have a chance you should request Queena as your tour guide.
This tour was fantastic. Everything about it was premium from the car, to the VIP section on the cruise, the taste of the food to my guide Queena. I felt this particular guide was a natural. She provided interesting facts but I did not feel overloaded with info like on some other tours. The focus was on pleasure.
Excellent tour! The guide and the driver were very polite and nice!! It offers a beautiful view of Shanghai West and East side.
We had a perfect evening. Kalvin was the nicest person and shared so much interesting information. Everything was well organised and on time. The company kindly accommodated our request to do an earlier dinner before the cruise since we had kids. The dinner was delicious and something we would have never found or experienced on our own. We will definitely request Kalvin for any future tours in and around Shanghai. He is the most reliable and trustworthy. We are so happy to have found a wonderful tour guide, Kalvin’
