Highlights
- Shanghai - As the financial capital of China, Shanghai attracts millions of migrants who bring their local culinary traditions and ingredients with them. As the sun sets, join UnTour Food Tours as we explore the best local and regional cuisines the city has to offer, paired with local beers, spirits (or soft drinks) in a centrally-located, authentic residential neighborhood. Taste local dishes from the Shanghai Jiangnan area, as well as southern and northwest China & Sichuan. Explore just how different regional Chinese foods can be on this evening Shanghai food tour!
- Nanjing Lu (Nanjing Road) - Explore the neighborhood just north of the famous Nanjing Road. Known for its colonial history during the Republic of China, this area of Shanghai was home to some of the city’s most famous locals and expats during the 1920s and 1930s.

Experience food from all over China in one tour! - I had so much amazing food on this tour! As a first-timer for both Shanghai and China as a whole, I love that this tour incorporates authentic food from many regions of the country. I felt I got a little taste of everything and was even encouraged to be adventurous with some of the food choices (no spoilers as to what it was 😉). Paul our tour guide was so knowledgable and gave great history on each regional cuisine. He also had a great sense of humor which made the tour all the more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a wholistic and authentic approach to eating in Shanghai!

A great way to see and taste Shanghai. - I lived in Shanghai for a couple years 10 years ago and this was my first trip back. The Night Eats tour was a great way to get to see parts of Shanghai I would not have seen on a quick business trip, eat great food from around China, and hear about what it is like to live in Shanghai and how it has changed over the the years.

A real feast! - We really enjoyed the food tour and spending some time with our excellent guide Paul. The food was amazing, but make sure you go hungry as it's a real feast! It was really interesting to hear about Paul's experience of China as a foreigner living there, and he gave us a real insight into metropolitan Shanghai! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic and authentic experience - The food tour was fantastic - we were guided wonderfully by Paul through the different streets of Shanghai (sad it was raining) but the service and dishes he ordered were phenomenal. We had the
opportunity to try different regional Chinese food through the tour and were stuffed by the end, save space for this before you arrive as there is a lot of good food on the tour.
I only wish that given the heavy rain, we had the opportunity to take the metro or Didi’s around given the price point but the weather was an external factor. That said, Paul did his utmost best and had extra umbrellas on hand which was a saving grace for us. Thank you for a fantastic time!

Night Time is the Right Time - Went on this tour with our amazing tour guide Paul, and it was a DELIGHT. I have family in Shanghai and have visited many times, but this tour still managed to introduce me to new things. There's a great variety of food/drink on this tour, and it's very much a snapshot of both Shanghai food history and what's in vogue in the here and now. And most importantly, it is delicious. We literally went back to some locations the day after the tour, because they were that good.
Also, Paul as a guide was wonderful. Knowledgeable and patient (even in the face of stupid questions lmao), he made this a great experience for the full group. Highly recommended!

Feast through Shanghai and beyond - Paul was an amazing host, guiding us through a culinary journey through China by what seemed like a master of the cuisine. And he did a great job tailoring the experience to fit everyone’s dietary preferences and needs. Highly recommend if you want an adventurous night out without the hassle of learning where to go or what to order beforehand. The icing on the cake was Paul’s knowledge of the city. He came through with some great recommendations for the rest of our trip.
My one tip (and this was given from the jump): come hungry and pace yourself.
