Delicious Shanghai Cuisine - The selection of restaurants and food were amazing. From a wide variety of dumplings, to bbq, beer, white strawberries and dessert. A Michelin Star restaurant too. We even had a visit from a friendly ginger cat in one of the restaurants as well. Jackie was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the food as well, she was a fantastic tour guide! I highly recommend this tour!

French Concession late night food tour was fantastic. - The tour was really great and exceeded my expectations. Jackie,my guide, spoke english fluently and gave great detail on all the food we tasted. The tour logistics were very good and we move easily between the various restaurants. These were places I never would have found myself and they gave a real sense of the local food and venues.

Shanghai Street Food Tour: A 5-Star Experience! - We had an amazing time on the Shanghai Street Food Tour with Helen and her assistant Jackie! Helen’s warmth and deep knowledge of the city’s food scene made the tour both fun and informative. Jackie was a great help, ensuring everyone was comfortable and engaged. The food was incredible – from dumplings to very special noodles and savory street snacks - every bite was a treat! This small-group tour is a must for anyone wanting an authentic taste of Shanghai. Highly recommend it – 5 stars!

Late Night Food Crawl - Great late night food crawl with the guide, Patrick. Tour ended up being just Patrick and I and it was def way too much food for two people. We made 5/6 stops and by end of the night I was stuffed and had plenty of dessert to take back with me. There was a good variety of foods and would recommend for first time visitors.

Shanghai food is banging! - Great evening spent with Patrick sampling a wide selection of Shanghai specials and delicacies from other Chinese regional restaurants we definitely wouldn’t have found outselves. Can’t think of a better way to learn about local food and culture. Patrick was a great host with amazing English and local knowledge. Thoroughly recommend.

Great food and a lot of fun! - We did a tour with Jade a few weeks ago on an overnight layover in Shanghai. It was a great experience - Jade is a very knowledgeable guide, gave us lots of information, and is very funny too! We ate noodles, pot sticker dumplings, skewers, dim sum, crayfish, and more! Jade was even kind enough to order us a taxi to help us get back to our hotel. Would highly recommend.
