This was a wonderful way to experience Shanghai. I really recommend it to get to know Shanghai and try some authentic local food. Jade is a great tour guide, friendly, informative and very flexible adapting the tour to suit our family. Jade took us into little independent eateries and restaurants that we would not have found otherwise. Thanks for a great day Jade.

We have experienced many different food tours around the world and this one definitely stands out for the amount of dishes you get to try, the quality of the food, and how tasty everything was! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is looking to try many of the specialties in Shanghai catered to tourists. Thank you to Jim for a memorable experience!

This tour is fantastic. TJ's passion for both Shanghai and its food are obvious, this is what makes her such a great guide. Her knowledge of the city, its history, the food and its origins are incredible, there wasn't a single question she couldn't answer. Oh, and by the way, the food we tasted was incredible too. I couldn't recommend a food tour more highly.

Really great tour done by Jim. We visited many local places and tried multiple amazing dishes. Jim was sharing details about how they are prepared, where they originate from, what are the differences between them and similar dishes from neighboring countries. Additionally he talked about Chinese culture and habits. I'd go again - fully recommend!

Had a great day exploring local eateries on this tour. There were only 5 of us and it was a great tour, everything was delicious and places I would not have gone to. Especially having a great guide really adds to it! Thanks for the great day

Meeting point was easy to find. Kurt was a great guide, informative with a sense of humour. The food was really nice, good quality and lots of it, about 5 stops, some with 2 courses. Very enjoyable.
