    Recently found myself embarking on a journey to Shanghai, a city that can be overwhelming, especially when travelling solo. I was in China for a conference and felt a little lost amidst the hustle and bustle of this vibrant city. That's when I discovered Sunny's tour service. Let me just say, my experience with Sunny turned out to be the highlight of my stay! Sunny is an incredibly friendly guide, boasting a deep knowledge of Shanghai's nooks and crannies. She truly knows her way around, effortlessly guiding me through the city's labyrinthine streets and neon-lit alleyways. In the midst of my travels, I found myself in a bit of a wardrobe pickle - my previous suit had shrunk! Thankfully, Sunny stepped in and saved the day. She whisked me off to the city's best tailor, a true artisan who created a perfect, tailor-made suit for me. Not only did she find the best tailor, she also masterfully bargained on my behalf - a testament to her dedication and resourcefulness. But Sunny's guidance didn't stop there. She also took me to several other stunning sites around Shanghai, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the local culture and history. Each location felt like a hidden gem, discovered and shared by a truly passionate local. What struck me the most about Sunny was her professionalism. She navigated every situation with grace and expertise, making my journey through Shanghai an absolute breeze. So if you're planning a trip to Shanghai and need someone to guide you, I wholeheartedly recommend Sunny. She will turn your trip into a memorable adventure, tailored just for you! You won't just visit Shanghai, you'll truly experience it!

    Friendly and Helpful Person, worth the price! Can only recommend! There is a basic route which we continue, BUT if you have any special needs like “toy shop” or something they can help and take you there!

    I booked a trip and I must say it was fantastic. Everything was organised from collection and the guide Sunny was really good - very knowledgeable and really made my trip a magical experience. I can’t recommend this company enough they go the extra mile especially when you don’t know the language or the area. I got some great treasures for my family .. Sunny really helped get some great deals for me and great advise every step of the way.

    I had an amazing day out in Shanghai with Lilly. At first, I was worried about the expense of hiring a private guide when I usually just consult guide books and make my own way. But Shanghai is such a vast city and I really wanted to make every minute matter. It turned out to be the best money I spent on my entire two week trip to China and Singapore. I went for a tour with our own driver and we covered everything I wanted to see. We went to the fabric market, the spectacles market, had a lovely walk through an older part of the city, a great lunch and went to the jade market. Lilly was happy to haggle for me, but I really wanted to learn. She gave me some great tips, helped when I needed it, and by the end of the day I was bargaining like a professional - it was great fun and it enhanced the rest of my trip. I'm looking forward to coming back to Shanghai and when I do I'll certainly be having another fab shopping day with Sunny Tours.

    I booked a 4 hour shopping trip with Sunny and had an extremely positive experience. It was great to have someone that knew the right places to go, could navigate the bartering process and also lend an unbiased point of view. I was able to buy prescription eye glasses and prescription sunglasses with frames and lenses at a substantially lower price than in the US. I also purchased some pretty natural pearl pieces that were in stunning colors. A trip to the fake market resulted in a great pair of sneakers for my son and a wallet for my husband. There are lots of ladies handbags but none that met my personal bar. Sunny was a great resource because I had limited time. I would highly recommend!

    It was a cloudy and rainy day. However, having Sunny as our professional tour guide our shopping tour couldn't have been sunnier!! We visited all the places we wanted to see and went even beyond our itinerary. Sunny gave us all the information we needed. We commend Sunny for a job excellently done and highly recommend her to everyone planning to go on a shopping tour!!

    I booked this for shopping and to practice my Mandarin in bargaining for Chinese goods to bring back to the States with me; It surely didn't disappoint! She paid for herself within the first hour of clothes shopping in the subway area. Fun to talk to and hang around, and taught me some interesting things about Chinese culture.

    Sunny was truly a great guide on our shopping tour. She knew exactly where to go for what we were looking to buy and was exceptionally helpful in bargaining! Not only that, but she was great company for our four hours! We would gladly have her as a guide on our next visit to Shanghai!

    Have you wanted to go to the South Bund Fabric Market, but did not know where to even start, given its three floors crammed with fabric merchants and tailors? We did, but we needed help - big time! And, Sunny saved the day. She expertly led us through all three floors, with its nooks and crannies, and pointed out specifically where we should get our shirts made, skirts made, suits made, coats made, etc. She has taken her clients there before, and she has had things made there herself, so she knows who does the best job , and for the best price. She will even help negotiate for you, and she drives a hard bargain! We were so grateful t her for her expertise and support through the process. We really liked our clothes and we have subsequently gone back to have other things made. We could not have taken that first step successfully without her. Thanks, Sunny!!!!

    Lily did a great job finding the right stores based on the list I provided. It allowed me to get gifts for everyone on my list. She provided a tour of the local area and walked me through the metro system.
