Incredible tour with Sunny around Shanghai. I booked a four hour experience and had an amazing time. Sunny communicated with me about very step from the driver picking me up at my hotel, to the itinerary, to food and shopping recommendations while on the tour. I learned a lot about the city and its history. I knew what to expect at every stop. I would not hesitate to take this tour again. Sunny was a phenomenal guide.

Linda was a fantastic tour guide. I did not know what I wanted to see, and she had perfect suggestions. I know so much more about Shanghai, and had such a wonderful time with her. I would 100% bring my family back to Shanghai to go on a tour with her. 10/10!
