We are a group of Ex-pats who have been in Shanghai an average of 7 years. We can honestly share that this experience will be one of the high lights of our time here. It is one thing to view the Bund from either side looking over to the other. It exceeds your expectations to see it from the middle of the river. Alana was an outstanding host from start to finish. She checked in during the entire process making sure we had what we needed and even thought of extra ways to make this celebration better. The Champaign was Moet and the View was priceless. Thank you again for making our time in your beautiful city even more memorable. Cheers!!!!!

Have some issues in deciding on our itinerary for the trip initially. But we decided to book our tour with China Private Tours although their price was slightly higher than another tour agent as they have very patiently & professionally attended to all our enquiries. And they did not disappoint. There was just a slight hiccup with the first driver, Mr Cheng, who picked us up from Shanghai to Hangzhou as he most probably had missed the turn to the side lane to drive in to the parking area of the hotel. The second driver, Mr Lu, who drove us around on the tour in Suzhou is extremely patient, thoughtful & helpful. Along the way when we urgently require a local mobile SIM card, he very nicely attended to our request to drive us to the shop. When we had some problem finding our accommodation for the night due to the restricted area, despite the late hours & rain, he patiently assisted us by communicating with the owner of the lodge & drove us to another location where we didn't need to walk to far. Anita, our tour guide in Suzhou, was wonderful. She was patient, caring, funny and helpful throughout the tour. She was very informative & could provide answers to many of our questions. As it was raining during the tour and we didn't have enough umbrella, she constantly ensure that we are shielded by sharing hers. This is definitely highly recommended tour agent to book your tour with!

The whole experience was easy and enjoyable. We made a last minute booking for an evening tour in Shanghai and Terry met our requests where other companies couldn't. He provided a wonderful guide, Harris, who was polite and fun and knowledgeable. The tour included a night cruise on the river. It was winter, so Terry made it work that we could take the 5pm cruise, which still enabled us to see the lights and attend an acrobatics show after. Other companies simply told us it wasn't possible to do the cruise and show on the same night because of the conflicting start times. Both things are definitely worth doing in Shanghai. The downside of squeezing both activities in was we couldn't eat dinner until after the show. Harris recommended some restaurants near our hotel and even called them to check the kitchen and opening times for us. Between the cruise and the show, he pulled in to buy us a treat that has apparently been an overnight sensation in Shanghai - I can't remember what it was called, but it tasted like a sushi doughnut! It was actually nice. Booking was quick and easy. Deposit and payment was seamless. The tour was great. Highly recommended.
