Excellent experience - Shanghai Authentic Dinner and Night River Cruise (2024 March 04) - The driver arrived early and picked up us from our hotel at Qiantan (the outskirt of Shanghai). After 20 minutes’ drive into the city, we were greeted with our tour guide, Mason who spoke very good English. Mason gave us an introduction of Shanghai while we were waiting for the cruise boat. There were a lot of internal Chinese tourists, expect crowd everywhere in China. Mason helped us navigating through the over-crowed queues and got onto the cruise boat. Despite the very poor weather with rain and wind, we still managed to see the beautiful Shanghai night sense. It is worth the trip. Manson was really helpful explaining the major landmarks. After the 45 minutes cruise, Mason took us to a real authentic Shanghai Restaurant for dinner, tasty Peking Duck and Shanghai dumplings. No need to worry about the menu if you do not know Chinese, Mason will do all the ordering for you. After dinner, Mason and the driver took us back to the hotel. Very good first day in Shanghai, thanks to Mason. If you are new to Shanghai, definitely recommend you use a tour guide for your trip. Enjoyable tour with Sunny Tour and Mason, being well looked after with a 5-start treatment. Thank you.

Shanghai from an unique different view - Sunny was a great tourguide on our private trip with useful insights and hidden information about Shanghai. She made our little night journey really special with a local Chinese great restaurant which we would have never find out and a bar on top of the city with great DJ music and an amazing view along the river and night skyline. Would always book it again with her.

Great value for money! Outstanding service. - Anne was an excellent guide and companionship throughout the whole experience. I was taken to a traditional Chinese restaurant and had the best possible meal. We had a fantastic time on the cruise by the river and drinks at a rooftop with a view to die for!¡ 100% recommended.

Fantastic Evening in Shanghai - Eight of us enjoyed this tour with Suny as our tour guide. We were met at our hotel on time and transported to the river in a very clean vehicle with a superb driver. The cruise on the river was the highlight. Shanghai has an incredible light show that is best viewed from the river. Even though it was a partly rainy night the boat had covered areas. Then we enjoyed a traditional lazy Susan dinner at a local restaurant with plenty of delicious food choices. This was followed by a trip to the rooftop bar where again we had incredible views of the city. Suny our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. She spoke English very well and gave us a wonderful commentary throughout the whole trip. I would highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny.

Couldn’t have had a better time ! - Sunny and her experience is by far the greatest tour I have been on in China to date. Sunny’s English is great, she is really polite and let’s you enjoy a great night while explaining the important things only a local would know. I only wish more tours in China were this good! Thank you!

A most memorable evening in several respects - Booked this (just dinner and cruise, no bar-hopping) on short notice as we had enjoyed another tour with this operator the day before very much. Our previous guide wasn‘t available though so this time Leo accompanied us on our tour where we had dinner at a local restaurant near to our hotel first so we had to walk there. Contrary to what was announced beforehand, Leo didn‘t help us order our dishes but informed us about a pre-ordered meal and left us as soon as we were seated in order to give us more privacy because we had invited a guest. The restaurant though was a big disappointment - the service was abysmal, bordering on unfriendly (we were largely ignored and had to repeatedly ask for a waiter so that we could get some drinks and rice etc - we were told rather harshly that neither orange juice nor coke were available but weren‘t told what we could order instead, so we were quite astonished when they finally did bring us two glasses of orange juice) , the dishes not to our liking and not even very tasty (about half was left although the portions were rather small and we really don‘t like to waste food) and we even had to pay for our juices as we were about to leave, although dinner was included in the tour. We left not hungry, but not satisfied either, and a little embarrassed to have invited our guest to such a place. The following river cruise part was very nice for my husband and me who got to enjoy the cruise standing on the open upper deck with Leo who immediately led us to the best spot for sightseeing, pointed out and explained the sights to us in fluent German and even added some interesting photos and facts about other aspects of Shanghai. Frankly, we had a blast and my husband still raves about it. My elderly mother though who couldn’t climb the stairs and stand the whole time and our guest were left downstairs to sit at a table which was ok in itself, but they couldn‘t enjoy anything because the interior was brightly lit and the reflections in the windows prevented any sights. Unfortunately, there wasn‘t any staff to ask to dim or better yet switch off the lights (there was no service for drinks or snacks anyway, and no restrooms to visit so people just sat at the tables for the duration of the cruise) so my mother would have appreciated Leo to come and see whether she or our guest needed anything, but even at the end of the cruise when they had to get up and leave the boat, he didn‘t go and check on them. The boat itself was plain but clean - there are perhaps nicer and more comfortable ships doing river cruises, but as the sights on the Bund and Pudong are the main attractions, we found it well worth our money and time IF ONE IS ABLE TO STAND ON THE UPPER DECK AND THE WEATHER IS FINE. As our tour guide was so informative and entertaining, we would do the tour again in a heartbeat (under the condition to find another restaurant and perhaps to have a say in choosing our meal) and recommend the tour to anyone not being disabled under the above conditions as well. The tour operator also seemed genuinely interested in our opinion and when we told her about our restaurant experience I felt she was truly affected so she even very generously offered to give us a free ride to the airport on our way back home which we declined. All in all, we found their service commendable and are very glad we did this tour as we would have missed a wonderful and most enjoyable experience.
