Must do if you are in Shanghai - This tour is a must if you like to shop. Shanghai is a marvelous city to shop , and Sunny knows the best places to go. She’s very professional and nice, and has really good tips and recommendations of where to find good quality. I wanted to buy silk fabrics by the meter, so we went to a fabric market and she gave me very good recommendations of which stall to visit.( a market this big is a bit overwhelming) My only regret is I didn’t buy more , the fabrics that I bought look even nicer and special back home.

This is an absolute must in Shanghai - For those looking for an expert guide to Shanghai - look no further than Sunny. Kind, generous, and knowledgeable, your shopping experience cannot be done in Shanghai without Sunny. I did the private car and I’m so glad I did so it was quick and easy to each stop. We started off at the tailor market where I bought some silk fabric and a silk scarf. Then, we headed to Old Town where Sunny showed me all kinds of street snacks and then took me to a wholesale pearl store where you could see hundreds of jewelry designs. We then did two additional stops. Without Sunny I would’ve never been able to have the shopping experience I did. To have someone that knows where they’re going, can communicate and translate for you, and someone who is just really friendly and happy - it makes for a perfect day. This was my first time in Shanghai and I’ll definitely be back. Sunny will be my first call when I am! Don’t miss this tour with her.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour with Sunny! - I was staying in Shanghai for a short period of time and really wanted the opportunity to do some targeted shopping and just get a bit more understanding of the city and local culture. It’s such a huge place I knew I wouldn’t have the same success going on my own without local knowledge and, travelling on my own, it’s nice having someone with you (especially when it comes to dealing with enthusiastic local shopkeepers who can be quite forceful). Sunny’s English is also excellent which is great as she’s able to translate with local people rather than having to resort to an app. I booked a shopping tour with Sunny with private transport included. You can do it using public transport but to be honest it’s so much quicker and more convenient having the car ready to pick you up and drop you wherever you want to go and really maximises use of the time available. After booking the tour Sunny asked what sort of shopping I was interested in doing so I gave her my wish list (which focused on handbags and pearls) before I went. She arranged to pick me up at my hotel and arrived on time. Sunny made the whole experience not only so much easier but much more fun. I bought a fabulous handbag and beautiful pearl necklace in places I would never have found on my own and we had a nice stop for coffee at my request to break up the morning. She also gave me a wonderful insight into local culture and we did a couple of cultural stops during the day in addition to shopping. Things you would never discover as a tourist. I highly recommend booking a tour with Sunny, whatever it is you want to see or buy. I ended up paying for a few extra hours as we had such a great time! Don’t forget to download WeChat before you get there to make it easy to communicate as there’s no gmail or WhatsApp in China.

Go for the tailoring, stay for the history lesson - I had wanted to visit the Tailors market, get some clothes made and see a little of the city. Sunny was an incredible guide and the morning surpassed all my expectations! At the market, she found the right vendors for me who could turnaround what I was looking for quickly, helped with the negotiations and the Alipay process and much more. She suggested a few additional places I might like to see. Best of all, her excellent English, openness, enthusiasm, energy and willingness to talk and share meant I learnt so much about the history of the city about China along the way. I could not have asked for a better guide.
