Fun times - Our connecting flight got canceled so decided to take a tour. Saya was our guide and she was excellent. Was a little leary since we seem to be the only foreigners in a very crowded destination full of kids. Kids on summer break. But Saya made us comfortable and also fun. Thank you Saya!

Great experience! - I had a 15 hour layover in Xiamen I wanted to venture out, but was nervous about going by myself. This was a great experience and I am glad I was able to experience a little bit of the city's culture while I was there.

Very customized and comfortable tour - This was a lovely experience! It started with excellent communication in the days before we arrived to finalize plans. The guide, Cathy, met us in our hotel lobby and we were taken to the ferry terminal in a very comfortable van. From there the experience on Gulangyu was very customized to the needs of our family. Would recommend booking as soon as you make plans as they do need to organize ferry tickets. Highly recommend Cathy and Sunny Tours!

Easy way to visit beautiful island - Really great experience, guide was friendly and very educational. Island and garden were beautiful and it was very helpful to have a guide take care of the logistics. One note, the website allows you to select tours starting later in the day but I was encouraged to start the tour in the early afternoon (14.00) as the garden closes at 18.00. Fortunately everything worked out for my visit (we left my hotel at 15.00) and I felt like I had enough time but may not be sufficient for everyone if you start the tour later. Also note that there is a lot of walking on this tour.
