5.00We had a wonderful tour guide named Sunny who took us shopping to the best places. We told her what we were looking for and she knew exactly where to take us. She was lovely to be with and her English is excellent. We had a great time with her.
A Perfect Shopping Experience with Sunny in Shanghai!

5.00Our shopping trip with Sunny was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The private luxury van made the entire day comfortable and relaxing — it was spotless, spacious with plenty of legroom, had massage seats, and the A/C was a lifesaver in the Shanghai heat. Sunny took us to non-tourist areas where the quality and selection were outstanding. I purchased several designer prescription glasses and sunglasses for an incredible price, and they were ready in just two hours! I also found some beautiful handbags and luggage, all excellent quality and great value. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our shopping tour and even booked a day trip to the Great Wall through Sunny as well. Every detail was handled perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. If you’re heading to Shanghai and want a fun, stress-free, and authentic shopping adventure — book with Sunny! Highly recommended!

5.00Highly recommend. Sunny was so phenomenal! She customized a tour around my interests. She helped me bargain for deals, took me to get custom clothes made, took me to the best soup dumplings at Yu Garden, was honest about when something was not impressive enough to spend time visiting, and chatted with me to learn what I like and found more things that I wanted to see and buy. Could not have selected a better guide. AND - make sure you get the car included. It was so nice to shop and put things in the vehicle to free my hands up to shop some more (especially when things like tea sets are not something you want to keep carrying around). Very personable.
100% recommend

5.00100% recommend this trip. As we were visiting Shanghai for work, we wanted a fun shopping trip in downtown Shanghai with insider tips to get the best buys at the best price. Sunny did not let us down. We were collected at our hotel in a lovely car and shopped all afternoon enjoying a traditional lunch en route. Sunny was excellent company, professional and knowledgable. We would 100% recommend this tour and any further advice she offers! A Gem !! 🤩
Great experience

5.00This was great. It would have been very difficult indeed to find the places that we visited. It was a great experience and having an a/c car in the heat very useful. A good shopping experience.
Great tour excellent guide and driver!

5.00Sunny asked ahead of time what I was interested in and took me where I needed to go for great prices and quality. It was an experience I would highly recommend and we ended with tea in a traditional place above the streets of old Shanghai! Could not have done this without her!
Super fun and efficient shopping trip

5.00Sunny is an experienced guide for overseas visitors wanting to go market shopping but don’t really know where to go. I wanted to get some qipiaos made for me and my daughter and was taken to the South Bund Soft Spinning Market where she introduced me to a tailor. I showed them photos of what I was after, selected the cloth and they took my measurements. I went on Thursday morning and the garments will be delivered to my hotel on Friday night. She also took me to buy bags, sunglasses and shoes at another market. The driver dropped us back at my hotel (to drop off my shopping) and Sunny then helped me to set up DiDi (Chinese Uber) and she brought me to Secret Garden, a Chinese massage spa located in the same building as the Radisson Collection Hyland and showed me how to get back to my hotel using DiDi. Communication was easy and her English is excellent. Most of the vendors we used spoke a bit of English but Sunny definitely helped with bargaining and advising if the price was right. Would def recommend Sunny if you’re looking to do some Shanghainese market- style shopping.
