Not for adventurous food people

Lea was an excellent, informative guide for our group of three active adults. She deserves the four stars. However having done a separate food tour earlier that day this one did not meet our expectations. We felt the path the tour goes on was very mainstream and it (not the guide) did not allow for adventurous food people. The river Cruise was good.
A must do when arrive in Shanghai!

This was an amazing tour and we highly recommend Annie as a tour guide! We wish we would have done this tour at the beginning of our trip because you learn the city and how to order food in addition to learning so many delicious foods that are available here. Annie spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable of food, its history and origin, and all areas of China. Her kind and friendly fly demeanor makes it comfortable asking questions… and again, the food we tried during this tour was the best food of our entire trip. We highly recommend!!!
Wonderful Tour

This experience was excellent! The food was very good and ranged from more casual local vendors to nicer sit down places. I was very full by the third stop and the boat tour was a memorable way to end the experience. Our tour guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. She answered all of our questions and helped us navigate the city and the menus at each place.

The tour was amazing, we were meet by Sonny and Micheal who was training to do the tour. They were very welcoming and walked us around the streets of Shanghai trying different food that are traditional to Shanghai’s diverse cultures while sharing the history of the foods origins. We must say Micheal was outstanding and knowledgeable sharing the Chinese culture and history with us. The cruise was superb along with Micheal sharing the history of the building and the lights reflected the grandeur of the city. The food was great but the soup dumplings were next level. After the cruise we were so full we rolled to our hotel. This tour is a must and if your lucky enough to have Micheal for your guide you won‘t be disappointed.
Fast food tour in Shanghai

As first time visitors to the city of Shanghai, we were very impressed with the food tour led by Lea. She was able to help us navigate the busy streets of Shanghai while exposing us to the unique cultures and foods of this beautiful country. We were traveling with a group of nine family members from Austin, Texas, and She insured that each and every one of us had a great experience. She lived a significant amount of time in the United States and understands the nuances of different cultures, we really appreciated her candor, her humor and her genuine hospitality. We highly recommend this food tour with Lea and would definitely do it all over again.
Fantastic and delicious food tour
