Bad experience. starting with the bad coordination in the schedule for the pick up at the hotel, the tour included a trip by train of tourism in nanjing and the visit to the lobby of the Peace Hotel, really waste of time. We had to wait 40 minutes for our tour on the river, which could have been avoided if we had arrived earlier to the dock or at least bought the tickets in advance. the guide Frank always walked like 5 meters before us very hurried without considering the participants. During the 40 minute wait he could have taken the opportunity to explain something about the city but he left us alone in the waiting room. We were called to get to the line very late and were placed in the middle of the boat, without the option of having a better view unless paying a VIP pass. I do not recommend the tour. It is preferable to take the metro or taxi and get there and take pictures of the lights from The Bund.

This tour was unfortunately affected by the national public holiday, which meant we missed our first boat and had to wait 40 minutes for the next. This tour was still a highlight of our Shanghai visit.

Tom was a great guide that kept us all together and told us about Shanghai on our way to the boat dock. For those traveling on business that have an evening free, this is a great little trip to see the Bund and Pudong area of Shanghai by boat.

A good tour although not the best. We were not lucky because of the rain pouring down while doing the boat trip. The rain also prevented us from making the stroll alongside the river enjoying the view and the well lit Pudong area. The tram was not fascinating and our guide behaved more like a coordinator than a guide. In the end we were unloaded from the minivan in front of some hotel not ours and we spent good 20-30 min waiting in the cold weather for our guide to find a taxi to bring us back to our hotel which was very disappointing. If I have to do the boat trip I would definitely go with a private option, but the boat ride and night views have to be seen while in Shanghai, just pick a private tour.

My tour guide was fantastic. I received all that was promised and the customer service of this guide was exceptional and I was very fortunate to have this guide for all my tours in Shanghai.

Tour Guide Alina was great.
Review by: Lillian B, September 2017
The lights of Shanghai are fabulous. We found the tour a bit disjointed. On the boat our group dispersed all over the place so the guide was having to find each group to talk to us. We then went to Nanjing Road for a ride on a funny little train - all seemed a bit haphazard and we were not well informed on what was happening next. Our thoughts were that this tour was overpriced for what was provided.

This felt like half a tour, they drop you off at the boat on the Bund and then you do a walk back through the city, that's about it.

The tour guide doesn't ride the boat with you and then takes you on a lil train ride in town (which you can do on your own. Take a cab to Bundi and get your tickets at the pier, cheaper for the same experience.

Our tour guide, a young man, was totally incompetent about Shanghai history and did not pay much attention to us during the boast tour. Although there were only four of us. His English was too hard to understand.

very nice trip, the view of the skyline was amazing. The boat was really crowded, we had to wait on the ferry terminal one hour and when we were able to get on the boat, all seats were taken so we had to be outside which turned out great because we took the best pictures. Our guide was very serious he needs to smile more frequently but he gave us a detailed information of the buildings around us._br/_ I'd recommend this tour

Loved seeing the city from river but really cold and windy. Hard to get good selfie pictures because of all the people on the boat. Spent more time picking and dropping people off. Would have been better to just take taxi there and buy ticket yourself. Tour guide was nice but 100 CAD to do this tour is expensive considering taxis are really cheap. Just remember taxis take cash and you need to have all places you want to visit written in Chinese as they don't speak English. Our hotel doorman gave us a card that had a lot of the tourist places on it already as well as the hotel in Chinese so we could get back.
