Savoring Shanghai - Last Sunday afternoon, we had a delightful experience on a Shanghai food tour led by our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Patrick. He expertly introduced us to local flavors, beginning with casual street food and noodles paired with popular condiments in a bustling, authentic eatery. We also enjoyed a traditional tea tasting that highlighted unique flavors and aromas, adding a calming element to our adventure. Patrick took us through a vibrant fruit market, where we sampled fresh, exotic fruits, learning more about local produce. The tour ended with an impressive fine dining experience, featuring a variety of artfully crafted appetizers that provided a refined taste of Shanghai’s culinary scene. Thank you for a great afternoon, Patrick!

So much delicious food in Shanghai - I had such a great time on this tour. Patrick was an awesome guide and we had a great evening talking and eating. Come hungry! This tour is packed with so much delicious food and I was not prepared for the quantity I was about to consume. My favorite snack of the night was the noodles we got to eat they were so good that I might go back on my own.

Don’t think twice - just book it! - Taking an authentic food tour with a local guide is just the best experience! Walk away from the busy streets of Shanghai, away from the tourists and taste Shanghai’s local cuisine on the less travelled streets. Patrick our guide was superb, engaging, knowledgeable and friendly would highly recommend. Bring your appetite as there is no shortage of food on this tour!

Best decision - booking this trip - Amazing experience! I recommend it to everyone, don’t hesitate. It took us 3 hours and few amazing restaurants to experience the magic of Shanghai food. The atmosphere was great. Really enjoyed it 😊

Highly Recommend! - This was an excellent way to start our trip in Shanghai. Our tour guide, Jian, was excellent! He not only gave us a wide array of delicious Shanghai cuisine, but he also shared history and the culture of Shaghai. Truly an enjoyable experience.

Good tour guide + good local food - Our guide Patrick is really nice and thoughtful, he took good care of us and attended to our needs patiently. We enjoyed the walking lunch tour (approximately 4 hours) with good weather and good local food, and of course good tour members!
