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!

BOOK THIS TOUR!! - The Shanghai food tour was the highlight of our weeklong trip to China! Jamie (the owner) was super accommodating and helped us secure a reservation on a day that was not originally on the calendar, so we could not be more thankful that she went out of her way to make this experience happen. She was also very responsive and helpfully shared details of her favorite resultants and shops in Shanghai, all of which were spot on. Our guide Paul was OUT OF THIS WORLD. He was super knowledgeable about the history of Shanghai, the food that we were tasting and the local area in the French Concession. He was also wonderful with our children and accommodating to the vegetarian gentleman who was on the tour with us. Every single thing we had tasted was delicious and was something new, and this is coming from someone that has lived in Asia for the last 7 years! The stalls that he took us to were all clean and very hygienic so that shouldn't even be a concern. Unfortunately it had rained during part of the tour but Paul saved the morning by renting a bike and buying us all umbrellas! He truly went above and beyond and the 3 hours with him just flew by.

Excellent tour – Topher rules! - Such a fantastic tour, with Topher an excellent guide! The food was amazing, and while we walked Topher treated us to fascinating bits of history. I didn't find the amount of walking to be too much at all; given how much food there was, I thoroughly appreciated the many chances to "walk it off." A great way to experience Shanghai. Enjoy the jianbing – it's pretty life-changing, and I miss it already.
