What better way is there to experience a city like Shanghai than to enjoy its authentic traditional cuisine? Steamed buns of different varieties, traditional pancakes, fish ball soup and the list goes on. I was smart enough to have skipped breakfast so I had ample space to enjoy these culinary delights. Lea was an awesome guide and took time to arrange an authentic culinary experience. Then great views from the Shanghai observatory tower ( don’t miss this) followed by traditional Chinese tea tasting in the old city. Five star experience with Lea. Highly recommended!

Sunny was great and she took us to try lots of different foods. We started off with some crab pastries, stopped by a restaurant where we had noodles and dumplings, and then had lamb skewers and some scallion pancakes. By this point we were really full so we skipped the next stop (soup dumplings) and had some egg tarts and milk tea to go. Sunny also showed us around Nanjing road. We had a great time and I'd highly recommend booking with her for any of your tours!

We had a great time with Sammi. She met us at our hotel and from the beginning gave us some extra help communicating an issue to our hotel's front desk. She gave us plenty of information about Shanghai and selected food options that we really enjoyed. We would absolutely recommend her as a tour guide.
