We booked this last minute and were so pleased we did! A small group meant we were not able to taste some amazing food, but also have lots of great conversations and learn lots about the food and culture of Shanghai. Would definitely recommend!

The food tour was great. The variety of food was lovely, but the loveliest part of the tour was our guide JADE. She explained the food and the areas it came from, the seasons, together with the history of Shanghai and many other parts of the city. If you want to book this tour, the food is excellent, but also ask for Jade as she is a first class guide.
Yummy food tour with Jade!

The food tour was great! We went to six different local restaurants. Our guide Jade was fabulous! She was very engaging and had a wonderful sense of humor. Her English was very good. She shared interesting information about old Shanghai. I would recommend her to our friends.
