Best Huangpu trip experience - Amazing experience in Shanghai city. We were in all the points they offered in the booked trip. Cassie told us about China's history and she was super friendly and helpful with us. We are going to do it again if we back one day to Shanghai, thank you!! It was my favorite experience in my trip to China

A must do when you in Shanghai! - This experience was the perfect way to enjoy a night out in Shanghai! From the start, everything was seamless — hotel pickup and drop-off made it completely stress-free. The dinner was delicious and set the tone for a wonderful evening. The Huangpu River cruise was absolutely stunning; gliding past Shanghai’s glittering skyline and iconic landmarks at night was unforgettable.
We really appreciated being able to choose whether to have dinner before or after the cruise, which made the evening feel very flexible and relaxed. We also added the rooftop bar stop, and it was the perfect finale — sipping a complimentary drink while looking out over the city lights was magical.
Overall, our tour guide Sunny took great care of us! This tour combines great food, breathtaking views, and a smooth, well-organized experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai!

Excellent experience; very personalized! - We booked the tour on the day-of, and the operator was able to accommodate us for that evening. At first, we were not able to select our hotel, so we contacted the operator, who got back to us very quickly on all the logistics. They allow you to pick what to do first (cruise first or dinner first); otherwise, they would arrange what works best.
The car that picked us up arrived very early, and the vehicle was huge for 3 people (included comfortable chairs with massage options and provided us free water bottles). Our guide Roy (spoke fluent English) met us at the cruise terminal, and the night view was stunning. Having grown up in Shanghai, Roy provided us a lot of local and historical details about the city and its evolution, and he pointed out the different buildings as we passed by. He also recommended us a few eating spots and rooftop bars.
After the cruise, we went to a Shanghainese restaurant and ordered a lot of local dishes. The guide recommended the popular dishes, but ultimately you pick whatever you want. Although we missed the kitchen cutoff time for dessert, Roy then ordered us bubble/fruit tea that was right inside the mall location we were in.
Overall, the experience felt so nice! Seamless and well worth it!

A must do - A fantastic experience from start to finish. Sunny was on the ball and added a personal touch. Our guide, Roy was knowledgeable and pleasant and was fluent in English. The cruise was a little crowded but the scenery and sites were amazing and since we did this in the night, the lights and energy were very vibrant and beautiful. The dinner too was great. An authentic Shanghai dinner with every meat you could ask for, on the menu. Very tasty and a clean and lovely place. The bar too was nice and the view from the rooftop was breathtaking. All in all, I can highly recommend this tour.
