Excellent private tour and cooking class in Shanghai - I just returned from a trip to China. While visiting Shanghai, my friend and I arranged a private half day tour of Shanghai’s wet markets and a private cooking class. I am a self-proclaimed “foodie” and love to learn more about a country’s culture through its food. Our tour guide, Kenny, did not disappoint. She was very thorough and did a fantastic job taking us through the wet markets and teaching us more about Chinese and Shanghai culture.
After the tour, our driver took us on a short ride to a chef’s home where we prepared several fantastic dishes. I loved this experience and hope to try making a few of the recipes at home!
If you’re looking for a unique experience while visiting Shanghai, I recommend this tour!!

Wonderful Cooking Class w Chef in Private Home - This was one of my best experiences in Shanghai. Patrick, my guide and interpreter, picked me up promptly at my hotel. Our driver took us first to a "wet" market, a local market selling live seafood in tanks (hence the wet), local vegetables and produce, etc. A great way to experience real life in Shanghai. Our chef had already purchased ingredients, so we did not make any purchases. We then drove to the chef's home on the 4th floor of an apartment building. Chef Hong let me choose the menu ahead of time-Kung Pao Chicken, pork wontons and potstickers (dumplings), green beans and an additional dish she chose--Chinese eggplant! Chef had done all the prep work, but the class was hands on as she would cook first, then I would cook the same dish after her. And of course, we feasted when all was done! What a great way to experience Shanghai cuisine and culture. Highly recommend! I hired Patrick to tour Water Town as well.

Paid, showed up and there was no cooking class - I made a booking, paid and travelled to meeting spot in the morning, but the provider did not show up.
We were trying to contact them for an hour, finally got through. They said they did not received our booking at all.
Please organise refund asap and reimbursement of travel costs

Very bad experience - We could not reach our tour operator by phone or email or WhatsApp up until 30 minutes before the tour was supposed to start. Then we were told that the tour could not be done. So we missed our chance for this during our once in a lifetime visit to Shanghai. Viator said we will get a full refund but it has not come through yet…
