Nice short overview of Shanghai

Everything worked perfectly, pick-up etc. very reliably. Very good guide - very informative. The sales event in the tea house is ok and fun - there is a star deduction for the completely idiotic stop at the so-called "Silk Museum" - pure sales stop, where you should buy duvets and carpets. But well ... you don't have to buy anything and otherwise it was a great morning.

Frank was an amazing guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. He has a wonderful personality and his English is very clear.

Yu yuan garden was closed and was not notified.... and also, one day before the cruise was canceled by the weather but the price was the same. If for each tour, was not completed should be refund a partial payment.
