5.00Great experience with lots of different, tasty and interesting food. Li was amazing tour guide, making it fun and interactive. He had lots of knowledge about the good we were eating. Would definitely recommend and would do another food tour with UnTour.

5.00A great way to explore Chinese cuisine. We loved the trip through different regions and flavours. My partner was well accommodated with vegetarian food. Janne was a great guide and we appreciated her insight and tips for the rest of our trip.
Great introduction and feast!

5.00What a fantastic tour through Shanghai and China’s food scene! I learned so much and tried some foods I’d never have dared on my own but the tour also suited the less adventurous eater in our family. Janne was exceptional ambassador and guide. Come hungry and pace yourself because there is so much to try!
Worth every penny!!

5.00This was one of the best food tours I’ve ever experienced. Our tour guide, Li, was incredibly knowledgable about the food we were eating, and did a great job in making sure everyone on the trip was comfortable and having a good time. What I liked best about this tour was that while it was a Shanghai food tour, we still were able to try out cuisines from different regions of China. Whether you’re a solo traveler or with a large group, young or old, this is a food experience to remember for a lifetime!
Great Experience in Shanghai!

5.00This was one of the best food tours I've ever done. Guide Li was a mine of information about the origins of the food - and we sampled an amazing range of cuisine from all around China. It really opened my eyes to a whole new experience of food!
Wonderful and Delicious Experience

5.00We had Janne as our tour guide and she was incredible. Our family of four loved this tour. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had six different stops and each stop included food from a different part of China. The tour also included some alcohol. Our only criticism was that my husband said he would have enjoyed a beer earlier in the tour, rather than at our last two stops when we were already so full. Everything else was perfect and I highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic good tour

5.00Great tour! A fantastic arrsy of local food in unassuming eateries we would never have found ourselves representing several Chinese regional cuisines. Janne was knowledge and lovely company. The perfect way to get stuck in to Shanghai.

4.00Great tour for getting a taste of many of China's cuisines. Restaurants were all very good. Wish there was more sightseeing in between stops, but still a very nice experience. Hope was a great tour guide.

5.00Li was very informative and fun to talk to. I learned a lot about Chinese food from different regions. With big portions of good food at each stop, I was really full at the end of the tour.
