Great informative guide - I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Shanghai. We were picked up in a very luxurious car and met the guide next to the pier. During the entire tour she shared a lot of interesting facts about different buildings and places that she pointed out to us. She was very accommodating when we requested to visit a store before going to the tower. When we walked to the tower entrance she pointed out photo opportunities and helped us take great pictures to remember the experience. Overall amazing tour with a great guide!!

Great VIP experience - The VIP Cruise on the Huangpu River and visit to Shanghai Tower were truly unforgettable! The cruise offered stunning panoramic views of Shanghai’s skyline, especially the illuminated Bund and Lujiazui at night. The VIP seating was comfortable, with excellent service and a quiet, luxurious atmosphere. It felt like a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz. Later, the Shanghai Tower was just as impressive—ascending to one of the world’s highest observation decks was thrilling. The view was breathtaking, and the experience was smooth and well-organized. Both attractions showcased Shanghai’s modern beauty and charm. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a memorable and high-quality experience in the city! Five stars without hesitation!
Kudos to Lucy our tour guide

Unforgettable Night Tour with Roy – A Must-Do in Shanghai! - From start to finish, our Private Night Tour was an absolute delight, thanks to our exceptional guide, Roy. Roy's deep knowledge of Shanghai's history and culture brought each landmark to life, especially during our visit to the Shanghai Tower. His insights made the experience both educational and engaging.
Roy ensured our journey was smooth and comfortable, navigating the city with ease and providing a safe, relaxing ride throughout the evening. The highlight was the VIP River Cruise—an intimate setting with breathtaking views of Shanghai's illuminated skyline. Roy's commentary during the cruise added depth to the visual spectacle, making it even more memorable.
This tour was the perfect blend of luxury, education, and scenic beauty. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Shanghai!
