Amazing Breakfast Tour in Shanghai! - Truly wonderful! And so delicious! Everything we ate was amazing and largely came from small, family-run businesses. We also toured a local market. Our guide Christopher was insightful and knowledgeable, experienced and engaging. I highly recommend this tour, and I encourage you to do it right at the start of your trip -- then you can return to these places before you leave! It was one of the true highlights of our trip.

Best food tour ever - This tour is really fabulous. Not only the most delicious street food we've ever tasted but a wonderfully informative walk around the french concession area as well. Our guide Topher was incredibly well informed about the food we tasted and shared the information in an interesting, timely manner. Come hungry as the food just keeps coming.

Fun for everyone! And a lovely way to enjoy Shanghai. 5⭐️ - Go hungry as the food is absolutely fantastic. My family and I toured with Paul, a knowledgeable host who made our morning both interesting and fun. His Chinese is amazing! We had kids with us, and they loved it as much as us bigger kids! Highly recommended tour … even for a 16 year Shanghai resident. Always something new to learn. 👍👍👍

Great way to discover local food! - I was solo in Shanghai on a business trip and booked this tour as I had a morning free. Turned out to be a great time. Was stuffed by the end and went back fully satisfied! Super selection of local places - and I also returned to one of them by myself later. Highly recommend.

Wonderful breakfast tour around Shanghai - well worth it. - I really will thought about tour. Food was plentiful, enjoyable, and authentic. Chris was a great guide, really knew the area and the culture. You got a sense that they're really researched the stores that they included on this tour and that you're not going to tourist traps. Recommended!

A must do if you are in Shanghai - We had a wonderful morning with Paul exploring some of the food delights that Shanghai has to offer. Great information on cooking techniques, ingredients and traditions and the great variety of breakfast food. The venues were super friendly and we really felt we eat like locals... In addition we experienced some of the historic landmarks of the French concession.

I have studied Chinese for 10 years and still benefited from this tour! - We tasted some really excellent food and there were plenty of options for the vegetarian and the meat eater in our group. Paul was knowledgeable and presented things in a fun way. It was worth it for the “intel” of all these delicious places to get food!
