Delightful Shanghai tour with the perfect guide

5.00This tour gave so much more than expected. After a pick up in a luxury vehicle ( seats gave us a back massage) from our airport hotel, we met our very knowledgeable tour guide Linda. She was very flexible and adjusted the tour to our preferences. She was a fountain of knowledge and a pleasure to meet. She took us for a delightful authentic lunch and we learnt a lot about history and life in old and in modern Shanghai. We highly recommend this experience
Great tour with Feifei!

5.00Feifei was really knowledgeable and friendly! It felt like visiting a new city with a friend. We got to see all the sites I wanted and she made sure I was comfortable the whole trip. Highly recommend this tour for both those who have short stays in Shanghai and even people who just want to visit the city as part of a larger trip!

The tour was adjusted to meet my timetable and wish list. It was an amazing day I will treasure forever. Thank you Sunny Tours and Claire. I was picked up and returned to the airport in style. I recommend this tour for anyone with a long layover, and/or visitors to Shanghai.

5.00Such an amazing experience. Sammi was an incredible host / tour guide, who went out of her way to show the best of Shanghai. Her in-depth knowledge of her home city proved very valuable as she knew the best places to visit. I only had 8 hours in my layover and feel every minute on this tour was well spent. The relaxing onsen at the end of the tour was great, as I had another 9 hour flight. A special mention should also go to the driver, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. Thank you Sammi for a great and memorable experience.
