Fun, Immersive and Informative Tour of Shanghai with Annie! - I had an amazing 4-hour sightseeing tour of Shanghai led by Annie, who was absolutely fantastic. She was an excellent communicator in English, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. From the start, Annie was punctual and professional, and she helped tailor the experience to match exactly what I was hoping for: fun, informative, and immersive. The tour covered a perfect mix of highlights including Yu Garden, the atmospheric Old City, the stunning Shanghai Tower, a decadent tea tasting experience, a leisurely stroll along the Bund, and a scenic drive through the historic French Concession. Annie’s knowledge of the city's culture and history brought each location to life, and her enthusiasm made the tour feel both relaxed and engaging. I really loved how Annie regaled in narratives comparing Old and New Shanghai to give breath to the history of the city. If you're looking for a short but rich introduction to Shanghai with a guide who truly cares about creating a memorable experience, I would highly recommend this tour and especially Annie!

Guided walking tour through Shanghai - Eric, was very kind and open. He picked me up and we walked along his tour. I booked the tour in English but we realized that hw speaks very good German, so we had the tour in my mother tongue. The explanaition he gave have been ver intersting.

Happy times with top guides - This tour was truly amazing. While it's only a half day tour, Sunny and Cassie made sure that as much as possible was included. The visit to the French Concession and a really authentic tea making experience in a tea shop in old Shanghai were real highlights. Sunny and Cassie have excellent English and we're able to provide a wealth of background information. The tour is expensive if you are located far away from the CBD of Shanghai but we'll worth it. Sunny Tours is a great choice!

Great service! - We had only half a day in Shanghai in between business meetings and were searching for a customized tour with pick-up from airport. And we were lucky to find Sunny tours. Everything was done perfectly and we saw way more than expected. Highly recommend.
