Excellent introduction to the French concession - An excellent and very knowledgeable host who really took us on a cool adventure. He had a great touch of history and current affairs in China too.

The perfect tour - I would highly recommend this tour it’s a fantastic way to see and learn about the city and to try local food in an easy way whilst finding the best there is! Brilliant guide, warm and friendly and really knowledgeable - it is the perfect tour to do.

Incredible food and tour guide! A must in Shanghai - My friend and I absolutely loved this breakfast food tour! We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour and were able to ask Jim all sorts of questions about the food and history of Shanghai and the French Concession. Jim was an absolutely fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable guide and as a Shanghainese native it was wonderful to have his perspective on Shanghai has grown and changed. And all the food was too good! We would have never been able to find those kinds of local little establishments ourselves and everything tasted incredible. As lover of xiao long bao, this was the best I’ve ever had and I’ll be thinking about it and all the other food for a long time to come. I also loved the experience of having tea at a local tea shop. The tour was also really well spaced so that although we ate a lot, we walked a good amount which meant we didn’t leave the tour feeling painfully full.

What a treat! - In this walking tour you will duck and dive between traditional tea houses, historic communist party offices, soup kitchens, fruit stores, wet markets, noodle kitchens and much more. All while discussing life in China back in the day as well as today. An enriching - and filling- experience!!!

Excellent Cultural and Food Excursion - Jim is a supremely articulate, knowledgable, and warm guide, happy to field any variety of inquiry about Shanghai with keen insight and an objective depth of understanding about the city and its history. He's just straight up good company. The food stops are a great insight into the less-trodden pockets of Shanghai for visiting foreigners, and quite enjoyable. I'd highly recommend this tour to any curious person.

A delicious way to experience a diverse and vibrant city. - My husband and I had an amazing time on this breakfast tour. Jim is a Shanghai native and he was an excellent guide to the former French Concession neighborhood. We sipped fancy coffee with young hipsters, ate fried dough and soy milk with construction workers, sampled local fruits, toured a farmer's market, drank traditionally-prepared tea, and learned the proper way to eat soup dumplings, among many other things!! This was such a wonderful introduction to beautiful, vibrant city. I 100% recommend this tour!!

More than just a food tour! - Jim was a great guide. I was the only person on the tour but we still had a great time. We ate many local food and Jim also explained about the history of the area, local lifestyles and well as many other interesting topics. We went to places I would not have been able to find on my own, all the customers were locals and it was a refreshing experience! Totally recommended!

BEST TOUR EVER - Stop scrolling! This is the tour that you must take in Shanghai! This is not just breakfast tour. This is food / history / culture of Shanghai tour! The guide is a native Shanghainese, and he presented food and Shanghai's history in a very interesting and easy ways. I was captivated the whole trip! He took me too places where I would have never found myself - a regular American dude who doesn't speak Mandarin. All the foods were very delicious. Also, he took me to some trendy places where young Shanghai generation frequents like boba and yogurt places as deserts. If you don't take this tour, you are missing out.

An amazing experience! - I highly recommend this incredible tour! I loved hearing perspectives from Jim, a local Shanghainese person, while trying some amazing food at places I wouldn't have known to try.

A great experience - I had such a great time with our tour guide Jim, who was super patient with me as I got 15 minutes late due to taking a wrong subway exit. Thank you again!!! He also speaks fluent english and is very knowledgeable and explains everything very clearly. He picked places I would not have gone on my own and I did enjoy them thoroughly. It was also very well organised and believe we had a blast as group!!! Thank you, Jim!
