Shopping tour in Shanghai - We spent a rainy day in Shanghai with Sunnyerday on a shopping tour by private car. She was amazing and helped us bargain and understand the quality of the jade and pearls that interested us.

This was not my first... - This was not my first time in Shanghai, so I already had a very clear idea of what I wanted to see and what I was hoping to buy. We booked a private shopping tour with Feifei — and it exceeded all expectations.
Feifei was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly flexible and fully adjusted the day to our specific needs and preferences. Since I already knew the city fairly well, I didn’t want a standard tourist route — and she completely understood that. She curated the day around exactly what we were looking for, making everything seamless, efficient, and enjoyable.
Beyond being knowledgeable and organized, she was simply a delight to spend time with — warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience.
I actually took a similar shopping tour in Shanghai about eight years ago, and I didn’t feel nearly as impressed as I did this time. The difference was remarkable.
We enjoyed our first day with Feifei so much that we booked a second day tour for out-of-town sightseeing — and that was absolutely terrific as well. Everything was smooth, well planned, and tailored to us.
If you’re looking for a personalized, high-quality experience in Shanghai — especially if you’ve been before and want something more curated — I highly recommend Feifei.

Lots of fun. We saved money. - Sunny was so helpful. She took us straight to the shopping centre for glasses and we had a great experience. We then went to a vintage market we would never have found by ourselves.

Very Accommodating - Sunny was an absolute delight and very flexible in helping us customize our tour. She arranged pickup for us after our cruise with a vehicle that could accommodate all of our luggage, and allowed us to pick the places we wanted to visit before having us dropped off at the airport. We definitely recommend Sunny.

Best shopping experience with Sunny our shopping guru. - We had a wonderful tour guide named Sunny who took us shopping to the best places. We told her what we were looking for and she knew exactly where to take us. She was lovely to be with and her English is excellent. We had a great time with her.

A Perfect Shopping Experience with Sunny in Shanghai! - Our shopping trip with Sunny was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The private luxury van made the entire day comfortable and relaxing — it was spotless, spacious with plenty of legroom, had massage seats, and the A/C was a lifesaver in the Shanghai heat.
Sunny took us to non-tourist areas where the quality and selection were outstanding. I purchased several designer prescription glasses and sunglasses for an incredible price, and they were ready in just two hours! I also found some beautiful handbags and luggage, all excellent quality and great value.
We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our shopping tour and even booked a day trip to the Great Wall through Sunny as well. Every detail was handled perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience.
If you’re heading to Shanghai and want a fun, stress-free, and authentic shopping adventure — book with Sunny! Highly recommended!

Best tour guide! - Highly recommend. Sunny was so phenomenal! She customized a tour around my interests. She helped me bargain for deals, took me to get custom clothes made, took me to the best soup dumplings at Yu Garden, was honest about when something was not impressive enough to spend time visiting, and chatted with me to learn what I like and found more things that I wanted to see and buy. Could not have selected a better guide. AND - make sure you get the car included. It was so nice to shop and put things in the vehicle to free my hands up to shop some more (especially when things like tea sets are not something you want to keep carrying around). Very personable.

100% recommend - 100% recommend this trip. As we were visiting Shanghai for work, we wanted a fun shopping trip in downtown Shanghai with insider tips to get the best buys at the best price. Sunny did not let us down. We were collected at our hotel in a lovely car and shopped all afternoon enjoying a traditional lunch en route.
Sunny was excellent company, professional and knowledgable. We would 100% recommend this tour and any further advice she offers! A Gem !! 🤩
