Best. Food tour. In China. - We did four food tours while we were in China and this was by far the best. Jim was an amazing guide and we went to the best restaurants and had plenty of food. If you have any doubts, just book yourself for this tour. You’ll see Shanghai from a great perspective and Jim will make your day wonderful.

Don’t hesitate. Book now! - We were a family of 4 including 2 boys (teenager and a tween). The breakfast tour with Jim was informative, educational, enlightening and DELICIOUS! He was extremely patient, food was divine, coffee was excellent and the experience was like walking through Shanghai with an old friend. One downside was that it was raining hence we were unable to walk off the awesome food we had. Was sad that the tour ended - we would have gladly had a full day eating tour if we could!
Excellent tour and highly recommend!

Delicious and authentic! - We had such a wonderful morning exploring wonderful Shanghai with Jing. Highly recommend! Each food experience was absolutely delicious and i loved the additional experiences that Jing blended into the tour, like the wander through Funxing Park and a brief visit to one of the city's famous museums. I felt that the experience was incredibly authentic and I would definitely recommend. Thanks Jing!

Too good to be a once in a lifetime experience — already went for a second tour ❤️🤣 - I found the tour by accident and it was the best I could have done on a Monday morning!
Jim was an excellent guide, he kind of knows everything, no matter the topic. We had some really nice chats.
The food was very different from what I am used to eat for breakfast but also very filling and delicious. We walked through some streets I never would have walked through when alone. Thanks to Jim, I may have started to see the "real" Shanghai 🫰🏼😊
Thank you again!!

You need to book that tour! - The tour was excellent! I was the only one who attended the tour on that day, so I had a private walk with Jim. He was funny yet informative about local food and the city of Shanghai in general. We had some very funny conversations and he never lacked of an answer to my questions.
So it's not only a walking and eating tour, but more a tour through a quarter of Shanghai through the eyes of a local. Recommend absolutely!

Great food and sightseeing tour - I really loved the tour. Is is combined with a bit of sightseeing. We walked through different neighbourhoods/streets and a lovely park that I would not have found on my own. That was really great. The food was also delicious. I really recommend this tour.

Great tour and food - We had a great tour with Jim. He was so kind to let us join his tour even though we showed up on the wrong day. All the food was really good and it was interesting to learn about culture and the city from a native Shanghainese.

Must do experience if you’re looking for local food - An amazing experience. We got to eat so much food during the tour. Every spot we stopped at was unique and there’s no way we would’ve found them without the Jim and Helen. The highlight for us was having tea in the back of a small tea shop.
