Wonderful breakfast tour with Jim! - I had a fantastic breakfast food tour with Jim. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed my conversations with him about Shanghai, the people, the food, and the culture. We had great conversations about the work culture in China. And the parks along the tour are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you, Jim!!

Really interesting tour with great food - A really interesting experience, getting to see a different side to Shanghai that as a tourist it might not be as easy to encounter. The variety of dishes we tried was huge and so many of them were really delicious. Jade was a great guide, full of useful information and tips and she selected the best food for us to try. It really is a lot of food, make sure you are hungry!

Excellent food and history - This was an excellent tour and I highly recommend everyone to try it. The food was delicious, our tour guide Jim did an excellent job and I felt very well taken care of. We went as a family of 7, 4 adults with 3 kids. My youngest child became fussy because it was hot and Jim took us on a small detour just to get him some ice cream. That speaks volumes about the excellent service we received. If you visit Shanghai, this is the best way to get introduced to the city, it’s culture and it’s history!

A filling Breakfast with plenty of knowledge - I previously went to the dinner tour hosted by the same company and I am so glad I made time to do the breakfast one! We visited some museums and other impactful/important places to learn more about the history and culture in Shanghai. The food was delicious and varied. My favourite section was the tea. We were served tea by the store owner while our guide explained the different teas and the culture of sharing tea. Jim (王坚) was very knowledgeable and helped us find the teas that would be suitable for gifts. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in learning more about Shanghai while having delicious food!

Informative and Delicious - The tour is an intimate look into a few traditional Shanghai neighborhoods, a visit to a small history museum, and a taste of some delicious, long-established staples of the area. My tour guide Yu was sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend adding this experience to your journey!
