Maximum sights for anyone w minimal time - Booking was super easy. Communication with Tom and Mary was instant and easy. Pick up right on time and the evening river cruise and sites visited were absolutely incredible. We only had one evening in Shanghai so this allowed us to see the most in a short period. Mary, our tour guide met us right on time and lead us every step of the way with her perfect English. We really appreciated her flexibility, allowing us to window shop, stop for a refreshment, etc. thank you Tom and Mary for a fantastic experience. If you are thinking of booking this tour, please do not hesitate as you will not be disappointed.

5 star river cruise experience, seriously - Tom is outstanding 👏. In addition to providing a great VIP tour, he went above and beyond in arranging to pick me up closer to PVG Airport and helping me retrieve my Tibet visa which went to a different hotel than where I was staying. 1st class experience all the way. The city lights at night along the river is simply spectacular. Don't miss the cruise. Soooo worth it.

Beautiful Shanghai at Night - Our group would like to thank Tom Zhang for making our visit to Shanghai a memorable one. They say that Shanghai is more beautiful in the evening than in the morning because of its dazzling city lights. One can see this beauty from different vantage points by taking Tom's Huangpu River Night Cruise Tour. He also showed us the Yu Garden and French Legation with all its colorful lights and beauty. I highly recommend Tom to every tourist who would want to visit Shanghai someday. He, not only has an excellent knowledge of Shanghai's history and culture but, is also very fluent in the English language. He is also very kind and helpful. That evening he recomended to us a good Chinese restaurant- Tao Tao Ju Xintiandi. And, he helped arrange for our transportation to Shanghai Disneyland the following morning. In the afternoon, he made sure that we got back safely to our hotel. Xiexie, Tom. Xo ai ni China from the Philippines! -George, Jenny, Ivan and Joanne

Amazing way to see so much of Shanghai! - Here only for 2 days/1 night and wanted to see as much as I could. Linda was so great and I loved her immediately! Her English is great, but it’s her passion and energy that really made the night so wonderful. She also takes great pictures. 🥰. I Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
