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.

Excellent experience! - It was just the 2 of us … and a very personal experience ! Our guide Patrick was very warm and friendly … we went to 6 different places to sample all local food in Shanghai downtown. Very nice walk in 2.5 hours to different hidden treasures and we also learned about the local culture and had a relaxed evening … some beers and excellent food!!

Great food tour of Shanghai - I’m so happy I took this tour! The food was phenomenal, and we tried places I wouldn’t have gone to traveling alone. Our guide Jade was so knowledgeable and very welcoming and fun and even took the time to make sure we all had transport to our hotels. Definitely would recommend to anyone that enjoys eating!

♪ Injured Tasting House - Gather in front of Shinjuku Plaza to help 5 to 6 restaurants. The stomach is quite burning, so you should not try to eat all the food from the beginning. Friendly, English-friendly Chinese friend Jade was so comfortable to serve all the food and eat. Highly recommended for Chinese travel beginners!!!

Great food - I really enjoyed this tour - Patrick was great - perfect English and showed us around in places, that i would never find on my own. The group was nice and small, and food super delish in all the places. so much so, for the rest of my trip i ended up going to the same restaurants as they were all walking distance to my hotel and very yummy!
