This Shanghai breakfast and French Concession tour was the highlight of our trip. We discovered incredible hidden breakfast spots, feasting on a delicious array of local foods. We loved the crispy, savory sheng jian bao, the delicate xiao long bao, and a refreshing mango dessert for a perfect sweet finish. The tour beautifully transitioned into the charming, tree-lined streets of the French Concession. A spectacular finale was a stop at a hidden rooftop offering a peaceful view over the neighborhood's treetops and historic shikumen architecture. This tour perfectly balanced authentic food, fascinating history, and a beautiful perspective of the city. An absolute must-do.
