Jade was a very lovely and well-educated who took us to very different places. First stop was a well-known Sichuan style restaurant only some metres from Nanjing East Road, after that we headed to former French Concession and started our Cocktail Journey through Shanghai. The highlight of the tour was sure the Rooftop Bar at the Bund with the "Hidden Treasure" Cocktail. We had some nice hours and very nice chatting with Jade, who was never shy to answer our questions and even picked up some German slang ;)

I booked this tour for a work event. Despite a larger size of the group, everyone absolutely enjoyed themselves. Jim and his colleague are knowledgeable, organized, good with communication, and most importantly, took great care of us. They packed the night with delicious food, bubbly drinks, and stunning views of Shanghai. I cannot recommend this tour more!

We were on a business trip to Shanghai and had a evening to ourselves to explore the local cuisine of China. It was a great luck to find this tour and also our fluent English speaking guide - Jim ! Jim arrived well ahead of time, with a very comfortable private Buick Van for us. He first took us to French concession area and subsequently to different bylanes of Shanghai City, to help us experience a medley of amazing and mouthwatering local/traditional street food/ local spirit. Before dropping us back to hotel, he took us to a rooftop bar in Julu area to finish our trip with a relaxing drink and some terrific conversation. Btw, Jim is a master conversationist and knows a lot about all the provinces of China. Our conversation ranged from economy to local market, panda, spice-level in different province, technical advancement, global political scenario and automobile industry in China etc. I gained a lot of useful insights from him. The food trail covered so much in three and a half hours. It is difficult to have this experience on your own if you don't know the Chinese language and don't get radio taxi so easily without a local sim card. Moreover, some of these eateries don't have a signage or shop name, they are just popular in their neighbourhood : 1. Traditional noodles with spicy pork, soft tofu, shitake mushroom and peanut sauce 2. Tea icecreams with tapioca balls and Oreo 3. Dumplings (3 types - chives, mushroom & pork, only pork), along with small skewers of lamb, chicken, squid, glutinous rice, garlic scapes, potato, shitake mushroom, enokitake mushrooms tied with dry tofu. 4. Pancake-wrap called as Jianping (top dish of all) 5. Local spirit (made of different qualities of rice) called as Baijiu (white spirit, with 45-55% alcohol) and Fenjiu (wine like spirit, like Spanish Sherry). It is matured in traditional clay pots. 6. Local fruits like Pamello grapefruit, Jujubi and pomegranate juice. 7. Desserts - Yang Zhi Gan lu (mango, Pamello, tapioca in coconut milk) and Mang guo Lao Zhu (3 flavours of jelly balls over mango sorbet). Overall, a 5 star rating to the trip, and most importantly to Jim !
