See Shanghai’s glowing skyline from a VIP Huangpu River cruise, with private hotel transfers, an expert guide, and an optional local dinner.
“We did the cruise with two families and it was fantastic. The dinner was at a restaurant and not the boat but it wasn’t a problem as it allowed us to eat before cruise. The restaurant was really good and probably some of the best food we had in Shanghai. Afterwards the company organised VIP tickets on the boat and we got really great views of all the buildings. Our host was Sammy and she was very good company, informative and friendly and looked after us really well. Lastly the whole process of booking and communication was really good , the company were very easy to deal with and even…”

See Beijing after dark on a private four-hour tour with hutong dinner, Tiananmen Square, Houhai, Olympic Park, and hotel pickup.
“With all due respect with the tour guide, she's a nice lady. But it's really not worth of money! You'll start at rush hour time so expect traffic everywhere, also you only spend like 5 minutes to all location because everything has to be in hurry. I would suggest to just take a taxi and go on your own so you have more time to explore Beijing in a relax way.”
Hong Kong tour review covering Victoria Peak, Aberdeen, Star Ferry, markets, and a harbour buffet cruise with Symphony of Lights.
“The Victoria Peak/Sky Terrace and Dinner Cruise were good but the rest of the tour is not that great, esp the visit to Aberdeen Fishing Village. When none of us agreed to the sampan ride, we just stood there and waited for the bus to come back for us. May be better to just include the sampan ride to the tour price. Our tour guide Marco was nice and took care of the PWD that joined the tour.”
