Sunny Time in Shanghai - Sunny is well-named, very bright, warm and full of life. She really knows her way around the unique shops in Shanghai. We scored some beautiful items that will remind us of Shanghai. We had a wonderful day.

A very good choice. - The private tour allowed for a very strategic and efficient morning. All requested tasks were completed within the allotted time frame. With a little time left over for visiting local malls.

Sunny has been so supportive! - My Didi app payment did not work but she happily took over and of course I paid her with cash after that. Although the old antiques market is gone, Sunny brought me to a labyrinth of tiny shops in a mall at Yu Garden. We shortly we came across a tiny antique shop owned by a lovely couple. With Sunny’s bargaining skills, I eventually bought 2 gourd vases made of brass, at a relatively good price!! As a sole female traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of!

Highly recommended individual tour of Shanghai - I absolutely enjoyed my shopping experience with Sunny and highly recommended it! Sunny’s communication before the event was excellent so she could prepare me of what to expect and customize the experience for my preferences. In addition to shopping, Sunny is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Shanghai. As we traveled through Shanghai, she pointed out various landmarks and told me the history of each. Sunny is extremely personable, and it was a wonderful day! As a single female traveler, Sunny put me at ease by handling everything. The driver was professional as well. This would be a great tour for families too.

Great tour, good value - Fantastic tour if you are looking for a unique and custom experience in Shanghai. I only had a few days left in Shanghai but had a few things I was specifically shopping for and Sunny helped me get everything efficiently and at a fair price, while sharing facts about the city and generally good conversation along the way. One of the items on my list was a pair of pearl earrings for my wedding, when I wasn’t finding anything I liked Sunny took me to a stall that was able to make what I was looking for while we waited, I am extremely happy with the result. Overall an experience I would recommend

Shopping trip - Sunny was very prompt with communication and met me on time at my hotel. She tailored the tour to my needs. However where she really excelled was helping me to resolve some issues with the tailor making my clothes, going over and above to make sure that my clothes turned out ok. I’m most grateful for her persistence and patience.

The best way to experience Shanghai! - I had the best time!! Sunny immediately understood exactly what I was after and planned our time accordingly. In just 4 hours I got to experience parts of Shanghai I never would have found or dared to try on my own due to my poor Chinese skills. The creative art place and back alleys with handicraft shops and authentic silk and jewelry boutiques, the Old Town of Shanghai, their famous soup dumplings as street food, fresh dragon juice, negotiating prices with locals, and then a sweet send-off with guidance on how and where to go next on my own. She even checked in later to make sure I was ok 💛 I had such a great day, highly recommend!!
