A day in Shnaghai - We have a short trip with limited time, but Sunflower Tours, especially Ms. Li planed, tailor made our trip to suite our expectations. Best part was Acrobatic show and Snacks at Park Hyatt to see shanghai from the top. Our guide Ms Mary was very informative and gave an excellent background to the history of Shanghai. I highly recommend this tour

A day Tour in Shanghai with Sunflower Tours - This was my first ever trip to China and after a tiring work schedule for 4 days in Yantai, we arrived at Shanghai to relieve some stress & pressure.
We had chosen Sunflower Tours based on the previous experience from my friend Ram who was also with us during this trip. It turns out that the service was far beyond our expectations and we really had a good time with Ms. Mary on the first day.
On the day we arrived at Pudong airport from Yantai, our driver Ms. Cao picked us from the airport and dropped us to the hotel. Though we had a language barrier, he seems very polite and reliable.
At the time when we arrived at the hotel, Ms. Mary, I would describe her as the best tour guide i have ever experienced, was waiting at the lobby for us. She then quickly arranged our check in and waited us to get changed for the day tour.
We then went to see the Jade Budda temple, and explained each and tiny details of this temple in a very clear and vivid way which was impressive. Being a local from shanghai, she could easy convey us the history of different dynasties and the Chinese culture in simple way.
We then moved to see the Bund, and to Park Hyatt for a short break and for refreshments. The view was unbelievable and Ms. Mary also have excellent photography skills. We took hundred of photos and then moved to watch Acrobatic show. This show blew my mind and was the best show I have ever seen. Really appreciate Sunflower team to choose the perfect seating location for us to watch and enjoy the show to its full power. Ms. Mary waited for us to finish the shown and then Mr. Cao took us back to our hotel.
I would highly recommend Sunflower Tours and Ms. Mary for those who are looking for a fun and organized tour in a budgetary rate.
Thank you very much to Sunflower Tours and Ms. Mary, hope to see you soon for a family tour.

A day's trip in Shanghai with Sunflower Tours - I came back to China for tourism after 10 years and I had used Sunflower Tours to plan my day's itinerary in Shanghai for sightseeing. During my last visit to China in 2012, Sunflower Tours had organized my tours in Beijing. During both my trips, the customer service I had received was outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone who wish to travel to China. You can have a peace of mind during sightseeing, and they will take care of all the necessary arrangements.
Sunflower Li from Sunflower Tours who plans the itinerary is an experienced professional, who is running this tour agency for more than 10 years now. She has a wealth of experience in this field, and she'll make sure from the moment you arrive in China and picked up from the airport, till the time you are dropped off back to the airport, you are having a wonderful time.
One the day of our trip, my friends and I arrived in Pudong Airport, and we took the Maglev Train to Longyang Road Train Station. Our driver Mr. Cao picked us up from here and was with us full day driving us around Shanghai. He was on time and very reliable. Mr. Cao also dropped us back to the airport during our departure from Shanghai. Our trip to the airport was 4am in the morning and he was at our hotel before time.
Our guide Ms. Mary met us at the hotel lobby, helped us check in to our rooms. After 30 mins we met her back at the lobby, and she briefly explained our day's plan.
Ms. Mary is a full-time professional tour guide with more than 10 years of experience. She is a local from Shanghai and knows all about the city. She is an excellent photographer as well and speaks very good English. She took us a restaurant for traditional Chinese lunch. And after lunch she took us to Jade Buddha temple, the Bund, and to Park Hyatt for an evening tea from where we had an ariel view of the Shanghai's skyline.
In the evening Ms Mary took us to the ERA's acrobatic show, which is the most famous 90-minute entertainment in Shanghai. When you are in China you should always take timeout to see an acrobatic show. They are fantastic performers; you'll enjoy every minute of the show and its worth all the money.
Ms Mary also booked us the best seats in the theatre. We finished our day at 9pm after the acrobatic show and Mr Cao dropped us back to the hotel.
It was a good day trip in Shanghai, their tour prices are standard and always at par with other operators. I'll definitely recommend Sunflower Tours to my friends and colleagues. When I'm back in China again, I'll definitely utilize the services of Sunflower Tours.

Excellent experience - A group of work colleagues from around the globe spent the day touring the highlights of Shanghai with Miki and Apple of Sunflower Tours. We had an excellent experience!! Miki and Apple were excellent speakers who shared insights about the city history and culture and who led us through an entertaining and engaging day. It was very enjoyable to listen to them; they are top notch! Everything was outstanding - the service, the learning, the food, the flow of the activities... You will be very happy with Sunflower Tours!
