Great introduction to Shanghai - Arrived Shanghai early on a cruise ship. Chose this tour as we weren't able to check into our hotel until 4pm. Great introduction to the city and a way to orientate. Michael was very informative with lots of background information and stories and we especially apprecaited his great driver who was there to dop us off and collect us from each stop. We would recommend this as a short tour when you arrive.

Beautiful Shanghai - Our half-day Shanghai tour with Robert was exceptional. From the start, his professionalism and warm personality shone through. Robert is incredibly knowledgeable, sharing captivating stories about the Bund’s history and the Old City’s hidden gems that brought the city to life. Despite the short timeframe, the itinerary was perfectly paced and never felt rushed. Robert’s English is flawless, and he navigated the city with ease, avoiding crowds while finding the best photo spots. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and tailored the experience to our interests. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!.

My tour guide Lea... - My tour guide Lea provided me a personal and informative 4 hour introduction to Shanghai with the perfect mix of the old and new city. The tour was not rushed which I really appreciated after the long flight from Australia the night before.

Best Tour we have ever had - Anywhere - This tour was amazing, I made a mistake on the date of booking and they changed it trouble free. Sunnyerday stayed in contact up until the tour started and arranged pick up from an airport hotel. Michael the tour guide was brilliant, showed us the best sights of Shanghai and couldn’t have been more accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour - as it was genuinely the best we have been on anywhere

A great introduction to Shanghai - We had a highlight tour for active people in early 80’s. A wonderful overview of Shanghai. Clair was our exceptional guide. Energetic and enthusiastic, she revealed history and accomplishments of her China. At the conclusion, she situated us in a restaurant and bar area of the Bund, perfect for us.
