- TMLee20140 contributionsLovely trip!Lovely cruise & walkabout with Mary. Couldn’t have made it through d cruise throngs of people without her. Nice night lights of City Temple 城隍庙 & exploration of the happening night life at Xintiandi 新天地。Written October 24, 2024
- mikefA5520MI0 contributionsA must do in ShanghaiI was blown away by this tour. My guide, Roy, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He made this one of the best tours I’ve ever been on.Written October 15, 2024
- Terri G0 contributionsVIP is the way to go!VIP is the way to go! This experience is a beautiful view of Shanghai at night. The boat was extremely crowded, but since we booked a private VIP experience with Tom, our guide, it seemed like we almost had the boat to ourselves. It was a little rainy, but Tom was prepared with umbrellas. Great experience - the skyline of Shanghai at night is one of a kind.Written October 13, 2024
- virginiepY6265QZ0 contributionsGreat experience for first timersThis was such a great experience - Mary was my guide and since it was just me on the tour, it felt like I was hanging with a friend who was showing me around yet sharing great historical references. Mary was super nice and very helpful, it was extremely hot that day but she made it very enjoyable - highly recommendWritten July 5, 2024
- Abventures0 contributionsExcellent tour!This tour was excellent! Our driver, Tom, was prompt, spoke excellent English, and shared a wealth of information. The gardens in Suzhou were beautiful, lunch was delicious, and the water town was amazing! Highly recommend!Written July 3, 2024
- Npk920 contributionsAn amazing evening cruise plus a few extras!This private VIP evening cruise on the Huangpu River in Shanghai was amazing! Thank goodness the weather was clear enough to see that glittering Shanghai skyline during the cruise. Easily one of the best city skylines we’ve ever seen and we loved watching every second of it during the cruise. Mary was our tour guide and she did a great job making sure we were taken care of the whole evening, the seats we had during the evening cruise were indeed VIP. After the boat cruise, Mary took us to see the Yuyuan Garden at night which was amazing to see with all the lights illuminated and also the Former French Concession which had some lively vibes at night. The whole tour lasted about 4 hours or so. Special thanks once again to Mary for being our guide that night and also Mr Tang for being our driver and keeping us safe! Highly recommended tour when you’re in Shanghai! - NolanWritten June 16, 2024
- Stanojm00 contributionsEnjoyable eveningThe tour was well organize and evening Shanghai lights were amazing. This is must see and would recommend this evening show of lights. Our tour guide Roy was fantastic in explaining all details about the city and happy to answer all our question.Written May 31, 2024
- dinosaurt0 contributionsBadly organisedBadly planned. And no offer of a partial refund. Tom or his employee made us wait for over an hour for boat tickets. WHY DID HE NOT GET TICKETS EARLIER? Why make us wait with 10000s of people in the parking lot ??? We offered to go to the other place first and come back later for the boat cruise. He refused. And then we went to the Chinese market when the lights switched off. Do not recommend.Written May 24, 2024
- coconutugly0 contributionsAll of china was at the dock. So we wasted 1 hour.We were collected on time, no problem here. The only hitch was that no tickets were bought for the cruise so we had to wait a whole hour (or close to it) in an ugly parking lot. By the time we finished the late cruise we had exactly 3 mins to drive to some temple to see the lights. I think we got there at 21:57 and the lights went off at 22:00. This was an expensive evening to just basically see one thing. The cruise though was wonderful, and they do buy a VIP ticket so that you don’t sit with trillions of people. However , the sailing times of the cruises should be taken into consideration and tickets bought earlier, so that you can board immediately.Written April 29, 2024
- mariagV2915YX0 contributionsWonderful cruise !Excellent tour ! Our tour guide, Tom, was great and very informative. We had a wonderful evening. The cruise gives you a unique view of the modern and old Shanghai. Don’t miss it!Written April 5, 2024
- Freedom142090717710 contributionsMust visit while in Shanghai!The place is so beautiful and after 45mins you feel transported back to history in in modern Shanghai. Worth a trip definitely! Our guide Roy added played a huge part to the overall positive experience. Effectively bilingual, he very patiently explained the history and context of the place and even helped us to bargain for a better price when shopping. It was a seamless and safe ride in the car with him. No hiccups whatsoever. I will recommend doing this and if Roy is your guide, 6 out of 5 stars!Written February 25, 2024
- NorthStar627733282520 contributionsGreat experience in SuzhouThe tour guide Roy is very nice, responsible and on time, he explained all the history story of different sightseeing spots for us and made us understand the city more. We went during CNY and everywhere was crowded. Our guide tried his very best to make all our itinerary on time and we had a great experience in Suzhou.Written February 17, 2024
- johnwH3156WR0 contributionsPerfect Shanghai EveningEverything was perfect, from scheduling to being picked up at our hotel. Not only does Tom know his stuff, he curated a perfect evening. It gave us an overview of what to check out latter with more time. It was also nice to have someone readily available to take pictures that were not selfies.Written December 24, 2023

My daughter and I booked this trip in December. We received confirmation several days before the trip from our tour guide about our pick up time in our hotel lobby, along with advice to wear warm clothing since the weather at Wuxi was very cold. Our guide, Tom, was on time and very personable. Tom's English was exceptional and we had a great discussion about current events on the drive to Wuxi. Our guide customized our tour to make sure we saw all the best of the monastery without having long waits. There is a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes!!! The monastery is absolutely breathtaking, and seeing the Grand Buddha is a 'bucket-list' worthy attraction. Our guide was very knowledgeable and open to questions about the monastery and Buddhism; the trip was as informative as it was beautiful. After the tour of the monastery we stopped at Taihu Lake and chatted with some locals buying fish from a local fisherman. Then we were taken back to our hotel lobby. The driver was very skillful and safe. This tour is a full day event and includes lunch - well worth the price of the tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to China. If you have a day available in your visit to Shanghai, I highly recommend this tour and our guide, Tom.
