Private Shanghai shopping tour with guide Sunny for tailoring fabrics, pearls, knockoffs, and expert bargaining tips across 3 classic markets.
“Sunny was very nice and knew places to go for bargains. She will also help you negotiate pricing. My major complaint is that I told her ahead of time that I wanted to look for an antique mah-jong set from China. She did not where to go to find an antique set or a nice set of mahjong game. She only knew where to go for very inexpensive sets which are sold in most tourist shops. I wished she had told me that before our tour then I would have set lower expectations for my private shopping trip or allow have more time to search on my own.”

“If you want to experience 'old Shanghai' and go where the locals go - then I highly recommend this tour. Lots to see and taste!
