The arrangements of the tour was super convenient, picking up us up from the airport and dropping us off after the tour. The tour guide was excellent. She took us to the places that we want to see. She also showed us other interesting off the beaten path streets and food vendors. She kept my 8 year old son stayed fully engaged throughout a day.
We enjoyed it fully and highly recommend this awesome company!

Incredible Tour of Shanghai

elliem1969, 19-01-2020

Our layover tour of Shanghai was incredible, my daughter and I were picked up from the airport and driven an hour to the city to meet Lily who would be our tour guide for the day. Lily is young, educated, has perfect English and a delightful personality. We had two requests, one was to visit the Jewish Museum and the other to have Peking Duck for lunch, we left the rest of the plans to her. Lily had our driver take us to a beautiful garden and explained all of the symbolism and history to us, from there we went for a tea ceremony which is awesome and from there we headed to the Jewish Museum where Lily was very knowledgeable and was able to show us the museum and explain the history of it to us. She took us to an incredible restaurant for lunch where we had the most amazing Peking Duck! After lunch she brought us to another older section of Shanghai where we walked around with Lily explaining everything to us. It was a perfect day and you would be thrilled to have the experience that we did-I hope you do!

Great stopover tour in Shanghai!

We had a long layover in Shanghai and decided to try and do a tour while we were there. After reading all of the great reviews on TripAdvisor and Viator we ended up booking with Sunny. On the day of the tour we were so disappointed to find out that the Chinese officials would not give out transit Visas for the day and were going to make everyone stay in the airport for their layover. Thankfully I was in constant communication with Sunny vis WhatsApp as we stood in line at immigration. With her help we were able to secure our 24 hour tourist visa and exit the airport. All of the other people trying to leave were harshly turned away. We're lucky we did leave because we were able to meet Feifei and have an amazing day touring around Shanghai. We spent the day learning all about the history of the city, ate a lot of good food, tasted wonderful teas, heard personal accounts of life in China, and saw all of the main sights. Feifei spoke perfect English and was able to answer all of our questions about Shanghai and life in China in general. Our driver was curious, safe, and drove a new clean vehicle. We had no problem leaving our carry-on luggage in the car with him as we saw the sights. The mag lev train ride back to the airport was definitely the way to go! An hour long drive was accomplished in less than 10 minutes by train. If you have a layover in Shanghai you need to book with Sunny! It was a flawless experience all around (despite Chinese immigration--but Sunny helped with that!).

Best Private Tour

I’ve traveled the world and have had many private guides but this was by far the best! It was so organized and our guide FeiFei was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and was able to squeeze everything we wanted to see into 6 short hours. This is the only company to use when in Shanghai!
