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.

A very good choice. - The private tour allowed for a very strategic and efficient morning. All requested tasks were completed within the allotted time frame. With a little time left over for visiting local malls.

Sunny has been so supportive! - My Didi app payment did not work but she happily took over and of course I paid her with cash after that. Although the old antiques market is gone, Sunny brought me to a labyrinth of tiny shops in a mall at Yu Garden. We shortly we came across a tiny antique shop owned by a lovely couple. With Sunny’s bargaining skills, I eventually bought 2 gourd vases made of brass, at a relatively good price!! As a sole female traveler, I felt safe and well taken care of!

Highly recommended individual tour of Shanghai - I absolutely enjoyed my shopping experience with Sunny and highly recommended it! Sunny’s communication before the event was excellent so she could prepare me of what to expect and customize the experience for my preferences. In addition to shopping, Sunny is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Shanghai. As we traveled through Shanghai, she pointed out various landmarks and told me the history of each. Sunny is extremely personable, and it was a wonderful day! As a single female traveler, Sunny put me at ease by handling everything. The driver was professional as well. This would be a great tour for families too.

Great tour, good value - Fantastic tour if you are looking for a unique and custom experience in Shanghai. I only had a few days left in Shanghai but had a few things I was specifically shopping for and Sunny helped me get everything efficiently and at a fair price, while sharing facts about the city and generally good conversation along the way. One of the items on my list was a pair of pearl earrings for my wedding, when I wasn’t finding anything I liked Sunny took me to a stall that was able to make what I was looking for while we waited, I am extremely happy with the result. Overall an experience I would recommend
