          Great service
          Great experience! Company was very efficient in arrangement for a transfer at a last minute notice. The driver was early and even helped us with the luggage. The car looked new and was very clean. The ride was smooth and comfortable. Thank you!

          Beautiful Tour to Venice of China
          Sunny was a superb guide. She helped us tremendously during our guided visit to Suzhou. She is very professional and knows a lot about the place. I totally recommend their service and will also help spread the good words for those we know are going to visit Shanghai!

          Amazing shopping experience
          This shopping experience was the best part of my trip to Shanghai. Not knowing the city well enough to go off on my own I booked this shopping day with Sunny and it was so worth it. I highly recommend this shopping experience! Thank you Sunny and I hope to see you on my next trip to Shanghai ❤️😘

          I booked the service very last minute but everything went extremely smoothly. The organiser was great, and even though my driver was only Chinese-speaking, I had no problem whatsoever. The car was amazing. I enjoyed my time exploring the water towns with no rush.

          Water Tour a flawless day of culture and sites
          Water Town tour was only possible with capable guide Shirley. She flawlessly provided transportation, explained culture and history in outstanding English, answered our numerous questions, and brought us through a historic garden, boat tour and village. Delightful afternoon of learning and site seeing. Guide Shirley also arranged a delicious lunch at a restaurant on the water.

          Our dream of Great Wall came true
          It was a long day including the round trip bullet train travel. Despite the tight schedule , Sunny was able to organize the tour seamless from the pick up at hotel till drop off back to our hotel. Our guide Ms. Fiona was great showing us the Wall and we really appreciate the efforts they made, the tour was so efficient and enjoyable! Definately a go if you want to see the Great Wall in one day!!

          Amazing - highly recommend!
          We did a private night foodie tour with Melinda (4 ppl) - it was fantastic! there was so much food we had to start asking for less! A real range of foods and places and definitely off the beaten track of the touristy stuff which was amazing. Melinda was the perfect host. Highly recommend!

        We had an enjoyable tour with Mason from Sunny Tours discovering culture and history of Shanghai. Our tour covered the Song Qingling museum, the leafy environs of the French Concession, the Shanghai Propaganda Art Posters Museum and the M50 Art district. Sunny Tours was accommodating and flexible in adapting to our requirements. Beyond guiding us through the various places, Mason shared his perspective as a Shanghai resident and this allowed us to have a better feel of the city. We will definitely recommend Sunny Tours for your tour in Shanghai!

        This was a wonderful tour, giving us a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and architecture. We especially loved the Propaganda poster collection and Soong Ching-Ling’s residence, and our tour guide Sunny was very friendly and knowledgeable. A great tour to do during the holiday period, when there are so many tourists.

        This is an excellent tour if you have already seen the main highlights of Shanghai and want a more in-depth feel for the history and dynamic arts scene of the city. Our guide Mason picked us up promptly at our hotel. He was friendly, knowledgeable and spoke English very well. This tour was fully customizable, and we asked if we could include a stop at the Chinese Printed Blue Nankeen Exhibition Hall (a wonderful blue-and-white fabric museum and shop) in the French Concession. Mason took us there first, then off by taxi to the M-50 area which has a wonderful range of art showrooms and shops by leading Shanghai artists. We spent about an hour popping in and out of art spaces with a fun range of paintings, high-tech art installations, ceramics and other works. Great to look at and some great shopping. We proceeded to the fascinating Propaganda Poster Art Centre, a private museum in the basement of a residential apartment building showing the history of art posters throughout China's communist era. A fascinating display, and our guide gave us additional background on the development and changes in the art through the years. We finished the tour in the fun shopping and eating area (and crowded!) Tianzifang. The tour was not rushed, the guide gave us lots of interesting commentary, and when we were ready, Mason put us into a taxi and sent us back to the hotel. A super way to spend a half-day learning more about the art and history of Shanghai. We felt the price was reasonable. It included all taxis (except the return to our hotel which was less than 30 Yuan), and they were so easy to use since Mason called them with an app on his phone and knew exactly when and where they would pick us up. Having a guide also helped us in finding a couple of the locations, which would have been challenging without a local accompanying us. We covered a lot of the city in a short time. A first-rate tour we highly recommend.
