Wonderful Shanghai Food Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an amazing time on the food tour with Patrick! We got to experience a lot of different food, and the dumplings were probably our favorite! Definitely recommend when in Shanghai!

Patrick was a great guide on our authentic food tour! Very knowledgeable in the different cuisines and allowed us to learn about the various options in Shanghai!

Excellent Food Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an excellent food tour with Jade and Rebekah, including amazing noodles in a tiny shop, a lesson in tea drinking with four different types of traditional tea, some fantastic seasonal fruit including white strawberries and finishing with 7 different types of dumplings in two restaurants. Our group was interesting and friendly and the walk took us through the old French quarter of Shanghai. Our guides took great care of us, procuring extras like barbecued lamb and roasted duck, beers and soft drinks and bathroom stops when needed. It was a great way to get to know Shanghai, visit some restaurants I would never have found myself, and make some new friends. Highly recommended.

Excellent Evening Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Very enjoyable, food was authentic and very tasty. Not something we’d have tried normally. Jade was informative and friendly. Highly recommended.

Our guide Helen was...

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide Helen was amazing. Born and raised in Shanghai so she was very knowledgeable about the city and its food scene. She speaks English and French in addition to Mandarin so very easy to communicate with. We visited a noodle shop, had a tea tasting, stopped at a fresh fruit shop (had white strawberries for the first time!), then potstickers and beef curry soup, then the finale: soup dumplings!
