An incredible time. Jim & Jade are fantastic guides; so much knowledge & they’re simply wonderful people. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten an experience close to what I had yesterday without those two.
Great food tour in city...

We had the pleasure of trying a wide variety of local foods, each dish more delicious than the last. One of the highlights was sampling different kinds of tea, which added a unique and refreshing touch to the experience. Overall, it was a memorable journey through the culinary landscape, and we highly recommend Jade for anyone looking to explore the local cuisine.

The food we sampled was delicious ! We had dumplings, shanghai noodles, more dumplings and tea amongst the various offerings. Our guide was also very knowledgeable on the history of the different foods and Chinese culture. A must do if you want to experience the food haunts of the locals !
