- vickic790 contributionsGreat taste of ShanghaiA great view of Shanghai! We were notified in advance of our pick up time. The car was very comfortable & luxurious. We then made our first stop to pick up our guide, Sammi. She was amazing. Discussed the itinerary & asked if they were any changes we wanted to make. Sammi was very knowledgeable & gave us lots of information, but nothing too boring. Our stops included, the bund, Yuyuan gardens, Nanjing road, shanghai tower. The trip also included a meal at a local restaurant. The food was plentiful & a great way to sample local dishes. Sammi was really helpful throughout the day taking photographs & helping us to barter for souvenirs. Would definitely recommend if you are busting Shanghai. We covered so much in just one dayWritten December 10, 2024
- M1229FAkathleens0 contributionsPerfect tour experience tailored to your preferences and interests !My experience with Sunny was amazing! The pre-tour communication was seamless and from the moment I met Sunny at my hotel for pickup everything was wonderful. I was in Shanghai for business but had a day for tourism/fun and am so glad I booked with Sunny. I am from a large US city but could not have navigated my way around Shanghai in an efficient way without her. She taught me so much about Shanghai, tailored the tour and afternoon to my tastes and preferences, and was so lovely!! Highly recommend booking with Sunny!!Written December 10, 2024

- kovacsrekaa0 contributionsBest Tour Ever with Sammi – 100% Recommend!We spent the day with Sammi, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. She showed up right on time, super friendly, and her English was perfect, so communication was completely effortless. The car? A super comfy, modern 7-seater—clean, spacious, and perfect for the 2 of us. We had the option to pick where we wanted to go, but we decided to just roll with Sammi’s suggestions, and wow, she nailed it! She took us to the coolest places, each one better than the last. Sammi knows so much about the city’s history, and the stories she told were honestly fascinating. She’s such a great storyteller, and we could’ve listened to her all day. She also made sure the whole day was exactly what we wanted. For lunch, she picked the perfect spot—exactly the vibe we were looking for. Great food, great atmosphere, and just a super fun time hanging out with her. Honestly, this was the best tour I’ve ever done. If you’re looking for a guide who’s fun, knowledgeable, and just really easy to be around, Sammi is your girl. Don’t even think twice—book her and thank me later!Written December 7, 2024

- CloudLatte0 contributionsAmazing Shanghai day tourWe had an amazing day tour with Kalvin. There were 4 of us & we got a 7 seater van. Kalvin was very knowledgeable about Shanghai history, patient (restroom breaks, etc), and spoke English very well. learned a lot about the places we visited. For lunch, he checked for any dietary restrictions, which was none. We wanted to try local cuisine, he took us to a nice restaurant and ordered different local authentic food and we love every single item. We will definitely go with Kalvin again when we return to Shanghai.Written December 4, 2024

Our layover tour of Shanghai was incredible, my daughter and I were picked up from the airport and driven an hour to the city to meet Lily who would be our tour guide for the day. Lily is young, educated, has perfect English and a delightful personality. We had two requests, one was to visit the Jewish Museum and the other to have Peking Duck for lunch, we left the rest of the plans to her. Lily had our driver take us to a beautiful garden and explained all of the symbolism and history to us, from there we went for a tea ceremony which is awesome and from there we headed to the Jewish Museum where Lily was very knowledgeable and was able to show us the museum and explain the history of it to us. She took us to an incredible restaurant for lunch where we had the most amazing Peking Duck! After lunch she brought us to another older section of Shanghai where we walked around with Lily explaining everything to us. It was a perfect day and you would be thrilled to have the experience that we did-I hope you do!

I’ve traveled the world and have had many private guides but this was by far the best! It was so organized and our guide FeiFei was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and was able to squeeze everything we wanted to see into 6 short hours. This is the only company to use when in Shanghai!

The personnel at this travel agency are highly proficient in communication. Furthermore, the team displays excellent customer service, despite the driver's limited English proficiency. The pickup service is exceptional. The vehicle was also clean and well-equipped with massage chairs. Jessica, the tour guide, is highly proficient in English and demonstrated excellent communication skills. This tour is recommended for those with additional time in Shanghai. The travel team provided comprehensive updates from the initial arrival in Shanghai until the group's safe return to their hotel or airport. Their knowledge and professionalism contributed to a highly satisfactory experience. Thank you, Sunny, Jessica, and Mr. Driver.

We had a long stopover in Shanghai and decided on an 8-hour tour with a German-speaking guide.
Our driver was at the airport on time and took us to the old town, where our guide Leo was waiting for us. With his perfect German, Leo was a wonderful guide through the various districts of the city. He showed us the sights such as the Zig-Zag Bridge, surrounding buildings and Yu Garden. He was able to wonderfully combine and convey cultural peculiarities with historical context. We continued from the Former French Concession, the Jade Buddha Temple across Pudong Island for a view of the impressive skyscrapers to The Bund.
We also strolled through a few alleys of the artists' quarter and made a photo stop at the Expo China Pavilion.
Because we wanted to spend some time in the city after the tour, he got us not only a city map but also metro maps and, before saying goodbye on Nanjing Road, explained to us in a memorable and detailed way how we could find our way back using the maglev train.
Leo garnished the tour with a quick look at certain shops, such as those for Chinese medicine, a small market with not only vegetables and fruit, but also all kinds of meat, (live) fish, etc., where people from the neighborhood shop, and a fast food restaurant with a variety of different dishes.
For lunch we went to a small restaurant with a Michelin star, where we ate excellent noodles (with a sesame sauce).
Leo knew how to show us special perspectives by taking us to publicly accessible buildings. From these there were great views over the rooftops or a special perspective between the high-rise buildings, sometimes also combined with very beautiful interior design. He spoke about his hometown with great knowledge and humorous love. He packaged the large amount of data so cleverly that it remained interesting the whole time and also memorable.
We came away with a wide range of impressions and know that the few hours could only whet our appetite for more.

The arrangements of the tour was super convenient, picking up us up from the airport and dropping us off after the tour. The tour guide was excellent. She took us to the places that we want to see. She also showed us other interesting off the beaten path streets and food vendors. She kept my 8 year old son stayed fully engaged throughout a day.
We enjoyed it fully and highly recommend this awesome company!

Our tour through Shanghai with Ruby was awesome. We were collected at the airport by our driver - the car was very comfortable (with massage seats in the back - very impressive to my teenage boys) and dropped back with enough time to check in for our next flight. We visited all of the sights listed (except for the commercial section - due to the rain) and enjoyed a really good Chinese lunch. Ruby was knowledgeable and great company for the day. I’d highly recommend her and this tour experience.

I had a one day layover and booked a tour with Sunny Tours. I’m so glad I did! Lily was my guide and I highly recommend her! This day was one of the highlights on a three week tour of Asia! Lily organized a great day with visits to some of the major tourist attractions as well as opportunities to visit some of the neighborhoods to get a better feel for the city and its people. Her English was excellent and she was highly knowledgeable. She also took some great pictures! Lily chose a delicious spot for lunch...in fact, I’m still dreaming about the dumplings! Additionally, the booking process was exceptionally smooth.

I never thought that waiting 12 hours for the next flight could be so special as the time we had with Annie, our tour guide. Was pleasantly and very informative giving us a good “flavour” of the city and making us wanted to come back for a real tourist visit.

We had a delicious meal in the gardens and saw wvwery sight. She rimed everything for sunset views and lights. We learned so much about China's past and present. We really got a whole extra trip just on a layover!!!!! Loved it!

I arrive in Shanghai 4/27@625p and flight leaves back out 4/28@550p. What are my options for a tour? Would it be better to do a tour that evening when I arrive or the morning and afternoon before we leave
