Awesome Guide - What a great experience! Our cheerful guide, Freya, spoke English beautifully. We chose a tour with a car and lunch included, and we had the most delicious, non-touristy dim sum meal with far more food than we could’ve possibly eaten. Freya was very good at giving us just enough detail and information without overwhelming us. The driver was professional and the car clean and modern. We were delayed arriving in Shanghai but the company told us not to worry. (Thanks, Sunny!) Freya dropped us at our hotel and even came inside to make sure our check-in process went smoothly. I will use them again the next time we are in Shanghai.

Wonderful tour - It was a great trip. Sunny and Annie were great - Sunny recommended what we go see and what metro to get to start the trip. Sunny was easy to contact and makes sure she was contactable on the day. Annie showed us some wonderful sights and was great fun to talk too - we loved our time in Shanghai and despite only having a 12 hour layover felt we got a great experience. Thanks both for a great day!

Fantastic option for a layover tour! - We had a long stopover in Shanghai we didn’t want to waste. Annie was incredible! We had a tailor made tour based on what we wanted to see, and it had to change a couple of times due to our tired children not coping with a red eye flight. Annie was so accommodating and there was no question she couldn’t answer. Sunny tours watched our flight status so we didn’t have to be strict with a pick up time. Highly recommend!

Business group tour - Sunny was a lovely guide. - We were a bunch of office colleagues in Shanghai and Sunny's group tour turned out to be good choice for us. She spoke and understood English clearly and took us around to key spots in the city and to a nice lunch place that was appropriate for the group. Thanks Sunny for a lovely experience!

Excellent experience - Absolutely the best way to see Shanghai. I learned so much and saw things I would never have seen if I tried to manage alone. Annie was a wonderful, knowledgeable and friendly guide who went out of her way to tailor the experience to my interests. I particularly appreciate the care she put into finding vegetarian food for me. An excellent experience.

Memorable experience - We took half the day trip organised by Sunny on a Sunday morning. It was a wonderful trip and she made it memorable for me and my colleagues.She is punctual and quite dedicated towards her work.She is so much fun which made all of us very comfortable. She gave lot of information about the city, it's culture, and landscapes. She knows her subject very well which kept us engrossed in the tour. She took us to a nice place for lunch. I highly recommend going with Sunny if you are planning to see Shanghai.
