“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.”
