Family with kids Shanghai night cruise + tower+ Dinner - There is no better way to see the beautiful Bund and Pudong lit up than by cruise on the Huangpu river and there is no guide better than Sunny who was phenomenal. She was very efficient and knew all the ins and outs of how to get us through the crowds and was a fount of knowledge about the area and the sights we were seeing. The dinner was probably the most delicious we’ve had in China so far at an authentic Shanghainese restaurant after the cruise. My 3 boys enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you Sunny!

Shanghai at its best - The evening was very enjoyable and Freya, our guide, is a great guide to work with. She was thoughtful of my husband’s limited mobility and made a great effort to support him. Freya is very much dedicated to introducing and showing her Shanghai to foreigners and this is highly appreciated.

Ask for Sunny to be your guide in Shanghai - Sunny was absolutely fantastic with her knowledge and overall genuine friendliness. She wasn’t like a guide on “autopilot”, she could read the room and made us feel very welcome.

Fantastic night in Shanghai! - Wow! If you’re going to do a tour in Shanghai, do this one. We took loads of photos of the night-time Shanghai waterfront from our guided river cruise. Sunny was our expert guide revealing the history and background of the stunning architecture and Shanghai’s illuminations that are second to none. We gained so much more from Sunny’s understanding and knowledge about all the great views and architecture we saw before us and their historical and current significance. Sunny also brought us to a great restaurant where we had one of the best meals during our Time in China, and we could even bring our own wine. Thanks Sunny, a truly memorable tour and great fun!

Best Views of Shanghai at Night - Shanghai is can be a beautiful but tricky city to visit and a guide like Sunny makes it all the more fun. Everything went smoothly from hotel pickup to the tower visit, dinner, and the bund river cruise. The evening started at Shanghai tower which gives a fantastic view of the bund, pudong, and puxi. The entire way around the tower you can learn more about the history of Shanghai and interesting tidbits about the city. We grabbed a bite to eat before heading to the cruise. Thankfully we had a quiet spot at the strewn and could see the falling lights off the bund and pudong. The lights were turned off at 10pm which was really cool to see, all the decorations and lightshows gone all at once. Sunny was fun, knowledgeable, and flexible given the last minute reservation. Anyone looking for a really great experience of the Shanghai skyline, look no further. I can highly recommend Sunny and any tour she may offer!

Can’t miss this tour - It was one of the best tours I’ve ever been in. If you want to know about Shanghai, this is definitely the tour to book. They were so flexible with us and they accommodated our every need. Definitely 10/10 and when I go back to Shanghai I’ll be booking with the same company.
