- Greg_Ward_Speaker0 contributionsExcellent tour of Shanghai Zoo and the historic Water TownI’d like to say a big ‘Thank you very much’ to Sunny Tours for organizing such a fabulous tour. My family and I would also like to say how much we appreciated our guide, Sammi, who was a delight!. She was very personable and friendly, speaks fantastic English, and was very involved with us and interested in giving us the best personalized experience, and she handled everything beautifully. We started from our hotel, Sammi was perfectly on time and we joined her in a spacious luxury vehicle to take us first to the Zoo, then again onto Water Town. On the journey Sammi gave us insights into the various buildings and architecture along the way, until we reached the zoo. Sammi took care of all of the administration and ticketing, and we felt cared for all the way. It was winter in Shanghai while we were there, and the zoo was very late in terms of visitors, so much so, that we felt like we were having a private tour of the zoo. Sammi was always ensuring that we went to the places that we wanted to see rather than it being a set tour, very personalized, which made us feel well looked after. We had an excellent experience there. We then traveled to the historic Water Town area, and Sammi also showed her care here, by ensuring we had access to Western style restrooms prior to us entering the town. A small, but very important point! We were guided extremely well through the town and another point to note was how personalized our tour was. For instance, we shared that we love cats, and later in the day, during our tour of the Watertown, she found us a cat café, so we could indulge ourselves there. Also, our family has various challenges with food, and Sammi was very careful to ensure the restaurant that we stopped at for lunchworked with us and she thenordered the most appropriate dishes and even some that were not on the menu to support us. The food was delicious by the way! Everything about the tour was beautifully handled, and Sammi has a great knowledge of Shanghai and gave us a really good insight into the city and its history. We rate her and Sunny Tours five stars and would absolutely recommend her and the tour company to anyone looking for an excellent experience in Shanghai.Written 6 January 2025

I brought my 11 yo child for a 2-days private tour to Beijing. We took the 1st bullet train from Shanghai in the morning so that we can have ample time for the 1st day tour. Vivie picked us up at the railway station timely and brought us for lunch with a sense of local flavour before heading to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Vivie well explained the history behind the structures as we walked about in the palace. It was unfortunate that the Tiananmen Square was closed for that day at the last minute. But Vivie nicely arranged a make-up tour the following day without much hassle. My 11yo kid loved the 2nd day trip at the Great Wall and climbed with enthusiasm effortlessly through the towers. The trip to Great Wall ended with a slide experience down to foot of the mountain where we had our car parked. Throughout the 2 days tour, Vivie has well narrated the places of visits and helped to take pictures for us. She showed great passion in her work and ended with a surprise video montage sent to us via WeChat in the evening. It was definitely a wonderful experience in Beijing and it wouldn't be any better without Vivie's guidance. I'll chose to come back again with my other family members.

No trip to China is complete without a trip to the spectacular Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders of the world! Booking this awesome 2 day Beijing tour made that possible and includes visits to other world heritage sites such as Tian’an Men Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace and more. Our tour guide Linda, was superb! Very knowledgeable and full of energy. Made traveling and access to these sites over the 2 days super easy and convenient for us. Highly recommend this tour! 💯

The 2-day tour of Beijing was hands down the highlight of our China trip. Linda our tour guide, did an amazing job explaining all the history and significance of the monuments/sights. She personalized the tour around what we wanted to do. Linda was super affable, patient and answered all our questions. I can’t say enough positive things about the tour and our tour guide. The tour was well worth the money and I would advise anyone who has a few days in Beijing to select this tour.

I just did the Beijing day. Wonderful! Very lucky with the weather - sunny and cool. The guide, Jenny, was superb. Not one minute wasted and she planned the route so there was minimal waiting time and less crowds. The Forbidden City did not disappoint! Well worth a visit and Jenny's information enriched the experience. Also went to the Summer Palace. Spacious and relaxing. Pretty gardens, lake and hill/mountain to climb. Even on a sunny December Saturday it was atmospheric, especially with lots of local ladies walking around in traditional Chinese dresses. Great for photos! Including a lunch stop the times were 9- 4.30-5pm approx.
Ps. Jenny booked taxis for travel, -SLIGHTLY more expensive but prompt, reliable, clean, and free bottled water inside. Worth the extra 10rmb (approx) onto the price. 👍Recommend
