    Fantastic tour of regional Chinese dishes and drinks
    This was such a fun food tour and a great introduction to various regional cuisines. Li selected dishes from different regions in China and explained how they were cooked, the origins of the dish and other interesting bits of background. He was very good at encouraging me to try all sorts of food and drinks. I loved most of it. Though there are a few Chinese delicacies I will happily never try again. Li and his trainee Holly were great company and I can recommend this tour.

    Totally Excellent
    We had a fabulous tour with Topher. He's lived in Shanghai for years, and is happy to share his knowledge of this fascinating city. The places we went to eat were just what we wanted - nothing too heavy for a morning tour, and we were left feeling full but not too much. 10/10 recommend this tour.

    What an amazing experience. Li was super friendly and informative. Even took us to other interesting sites. Also was very helpful in answering some other unrelated tourist questions for us. The food venues were amazing, the food was super tasty! Worth every cent and every step.

    Good tour, but couldn’t visit the restaurants on our own
    The tour was really good, however one of the recommended restaurants, the Hong Kong cafe, didn’t accept foreign cards when we went back. :(

    Breakfast like a local
    We enjoyed the tour and learning about an area of Shanghai and especially the wet market. The food was good but a little bit of overlap with the food choices because we had already been on the dinner tour in Beijing. Paul our guide was informative and engaging.

    The only way to start your day in Shanghai
    We had an exceptional experience with Christopher. He met us at our hotel and had a luxury car pick us up to start our tour. He shared information about the history and culture of Shanghai, as well as the food culture for breakfast in Shanghai. The food choices were excellent. I could have eaten the Shanghai pancake everyday. He was also very conscious about portion sizes. While he was more than willing to order us lots of food, he allowed us to select portion sizes so we felt full but not stuffed. After the tour he stayed in contact and help us with a few restaurant recomendations and hard to find shopping information.

    Amazing X 4! Amazing tour, amazing experience, amazing food, and an amazing guide
    This was an amazing tour, amazing experience, amazing food, and an amazing guide, Li. Li meet us at our hotel, coordinate a car to take us to where the tour started, and shared with us some amazing food while helping us to understand food, culture, and food culture in Shanghai. This tour was on the day we arrived in Shanghai, which was the perfect way to understand a city through its food. I wish we had more time for more experiences with this company.

This was such a fun escape from Shanghai. Our guides, Silvia and Jooyoung, were so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about Korean food and culture. Their expertise and all of the K-town stops seriously had us feeling like we had gone to Seoul for the night.
We arranged a private tour with 11 friends and it was a really fun way to hang out together. Highly recommended.

Been in Shanghai for a few years and this was my first Untour food tour. This tour was recommended by my foodie friend!

Super fun and informative tour led by Brian! He had a lot of knowledge gems thrown in of interest about all the dishes we tried. Liked how the food was something different to what people generally know about Korean food!

Every place was different and unique and it really felt like we were ‘travelling’ in these unique times.

Highly recommend!

Like visiting Seoul but without leaving Shanghai, you can really tell the tour guides are knowledgable and passionate about what they do. Loads of yummy food, and not just the regular standard Korean Fried Chicken. The best part is that you get to explore a lot of different sides of Korean food- night market, dinner, drinking culture, and late night eats, all in one tour! I highly recommend it!

Jooyoung was very helpful and informative, teaching us not only where to go for delicious food in Koreatown, but also what to order, how to say it, how to eat it, and even how to buy it to take home/ order in! We did this tour hoping to feel a bit of an escape to a neighborhood we didn't know well, and escape we did to the taste and smells of Korea. We tried street food, bar food, snacks, and full dishes and were even recommended specific products to buy at the grocery store. Perfect afternoon/early evening activity for a group or couple without kids.

I'm a huge fan of UnTour and this did not disappoint. As a total newbie to Korean food, I felt I got to try top notch dishes from all different styles of meals, from snacks and bar food to staple dishes and desserts - all were amazing! The kimchi store was a great touch, too - I love that I was able to take some of the tour home with me. Jooyoung did a great job showing us around, as well - her personal experience added a lot to the culinary adventure. This is a microcosm of Shanghai you cannot miss!!
