    Henry Becker

    This was a good tour overall. I liked the history part in Old Town, but I wish we could have spent more time in the Jade Buddha Temple. The river cruise was stunning but felt a little short. Still worth it for the views.

  2. Yu Garden

    Gerald Anderson

    It was a great tour, but I think we could have spent more time at Yu Garden. Everything else was fine. The Huangpu River Cruise was amazing and the meal was delicious.

  3. Unforgettable Shanghai Experience!
