    A must do
    An easy trip to organise very clear instructions on where to meet , we were greeted by Jade. Her English was perfect very informative and bubbly, just as well we went hungry because by the end of the trip we were very very full. This is the 2nd private food tour we have been on and the thing is you simply wouldn’t find these amazing places without a guide first up scallion noodles absolutely delicious, duck dumplings , fresh fruit even white strawberries which we have never seen before soo sweet! Delicious tea tasting , soup dumpling (yum) it just goes on . Thanks so much Jade you were wonderful, funny and great company.

    A must do in Shanghai! Helen is fantastic
    Highly recommended! Helen is fantastic. As a solo female I was a bit nervous but it worked out wonderfully we were a group of 8 split in 2 groups. The little spots she takes you to is something you could never find on your own, also the perfect walking tour to see more of the city.

    A MUST do in Shanghai!!! (Ask for Jim)
    Where do I start! Our food tour in Shanghai with Jim was absolutely out of this world amazing. This was our very first experience after stepping off the airplane into China, and it set a high standard for the rest of our trip! The tour was incredibly interesting, and Jim went above and beyond to share extra details about the food and culture. The variety and quality of the dishes were exceptional—we enjoyed them so much that we returned to a couple of the restaurants in the following days! This experience truly made our visit to Shanghai unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Went on this trip with my brother and it was fantastic! Jim showed us some authentic hidden gems around Shanghai that we would never have known about or found otherwise.
It was so good to have an informative guide who made sure to share his love of local cuisine and history.
Great food, great beer, great sights, great guide!
We booked for another tour with Jim the following night...

We did the evening tour with Jim - he arrived with some tasty crispy omelettes and it just got better from there. We got to explore parts of Shanghai we wouldn't find by ourselves, and tried some great food and local beers. Jim was a great guide, really knowledgeable and friendly. This tour is a must!!

I did the afternoon tour with Lu. He was a fantastic tour guide. He knows the area and the history of the place. We went to some fantastic local places that you would walk passed if you didn't know what was there. The food was fantastic. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to understand the older parts of Shanghai better.

Tour guide Lu was friendly and informative, and was able to design the tour to my tastes. Some great local food at places I never would have gone on my own. The soup dumplings were amazing! Great option for sampling local Shanghai cuisine!

Today was a fascinating tour. Ostensibly a noodle and dumpling tour, we received a great history lesson on the state of old vs new Shanghai. Our tour was in the old Shanghai neighbourhood network of alleyways called lilongs. In beijing they are called hutongs. This is inside what was once called the French Concession. It is literally right next to multi million dollar apartments and many of the existing lilongs are scheduled for demolition for new high rises. The people living in the lilongs will receive new residences somewhere in the province but will have no say as to the location. This will completely break up some families and friendships when the lilongs are gone! Very interesting.

The food tour was broken up by a seminar on the art of tea and it was actually riveting. The food was plentiful and our guide (JIM WANG) was A+.

As a food lover from San Francisco, I decided a food tour was in order during my extended stay in Shanghai. Jim did an excellent job showing us the famous foods of Shanghai. We also visited an intimate tea shop. I will definitely visit the places again. Thanks again, Jim.

From his warm greeting to the end of the day our tour guide Lu provided a wonderful was to experience a part of the city. The meeting place was easy to find and navigate to and from there we began a journey that included personal stories, history and thoughtful navigation. So many good experiences to share but my top two were the Scallion Noodle stop for the best pork and noodles and then an absolutely magical experience at a small Tea Shop. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour, highly recommended. Thank you Lu!

Booked this tour at the last minute on a Sunday while on business travel in Shanghai. Ended up being a private tour with Jim, who was a great tourguide! Was able to experience different tastes and see parts of the city that are off the beaten path. Highlight was spending time at a local tea house, Also enjoyed the soup dumplings. Heading to Chinatown in Philly this weekend to see if I can find anything that comes close to the tastes experienced in Shanghai.

Had a great tour guide in Lilac, she was very knowledgeable about the food and also gave a lot of insight into the area and Chinese culture. She also sent me a list and information about all the foods we ate and where. Unfortunately she's leaving, but if she's any indication of the other guides I would highly recommend them. Beware, you will eat a lot of food so come hungry!!!
