Fantastic tour, highly recommend Sunny - My Husband and I visited Shanghai from Australia (my first time in Shanghai) and had Sunny as our guide for this tour. From the first contact Sunny was friendly, helpful, accomodating and quick to respond. Sunny met us in our hotel lobby as promised and we were driven in the most comfortable transport I've ever had on a tour, it was luxury! Sunny was flexible with the itinerary and her English is impeccable. In the four hours we ticked off all of the places I wanted to see as well as some of Sunny's recommendations. Our tour also included a tea ceremony and a delicious lunch. An added bonus are some fantastic photos of my Husband and I that Sunny took for us. I was very glad that I had also booked with Sunny for a shopping tour the next day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunny as a tour guide. Thank you for a memorable time!

Shanghai Tour Experience - I really enjoyed this tour! This was my first trip into Shanghai and my tour guide Kalvin was really informative and fun to chat with. We were only here for a day and he showed us around all of the popular spots around the city and explained the history in each area. He was lovely to take pictures for us and the food he recommended during lunch was amazing. It was really nerve-wracking going somewhere different from where I'm used to since this is my first international trip but Kalvin made it easy and because of him, I'm definitely going back to Shanghai soon. The driver was on time and efficient, and made going from stop to stop easy. My favorite part of the tour was the tea ceremony; Trying different types of teas has made me a tea believer, and I brought back some home with me as a nice souvenir. All in all I will highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a comprehensive guide of the city center with a personalized experience from a local!

Great flexi tour & company as a solo traveller - Shelley my guide was fantastic- very knowledgeable and great company to have along as a solo traveller. When you have an afternoon to see this city I can’t recommend this tour enough. Super flexible to see what you want to and the restaurant we went to for dinner was delicious. I would definitely recommend and go on another tour further out/for longer with these guys if I ever return to Shanghai

Very helpful - Sunny tours was really helpful in preparing for our “layover tour” in Shanghai. Timing is very important here, and they put a lot of effort into making sure we were realistic (between customs etc.) unfortunately, 2 days before tour, one of my daughters got sick, so we had to cancel. The tour guide was very understanding and accommodating.

A warm welcome to Shanghai! - For our first day in Shanghai we booked this 4 hour private experience - it was worth every penny. Sammi was our guide and she was excellent. We were able to customize the itinerary to suit the weather and our preferences. Lunch was delicious and we learned so much. Don’t hesitate - book this tour!

Personalised tour of Shanghai with Sammy - Our guide Sammy was fantastic. We saw so much of the city on our 4 hour tour. Lunch was amazing as was the tea tasting. Would definitely recommend if you have a short stop over in Shanghai. It was really nice having this private tour and Sammy made it so special!
