Jade took me around this morning telling me various bits of information about all things food, French Concession, Shanghai, China and more! It was nice to try some Shsnghainese foods as they are different to what I’d already eaten. Jade’s English was fantastic and it was a lovely morning spent wandering the streets of Shanghai! Thank you Jade and I’m sorry I completely forgot to give you your tip! You deserved it!
Definitely recommend it

This was one of the most delicious, filling and interesting food tours I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken them in 20+ cities). Jim was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable not only about all the food we tasted but also about Shanghai’s history as well. I definitely recommend this tour!
Great Food, Great Guide!

The tour is a great way to see a more local side of Shanghai. The places chosen are family owned or local. The food is delicious, I especially enjoyed the tea tasting. The guide is very friendly with great English and very happy to answer questions.

I booked the Shanghai Breakfast Walking Tour of the Former French Concession, and it was a wonderful experience! My tour guide, Jim, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. He took the time to show me around the city and share fascinating insights about Shanghai’s history and culture. One of the highlights of the tour was trying all the delicious traditional Chinese food. Jim introduced me to so many amazing dishes that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. We also visited a local fruit market, enjoyed the Chinese tea session, and got a glimpse into daily life in China. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting China. The Shanghai food tour is a must-try experience—you won’t want to miss the mouthwatering food and the chance to explore this vibrant city!
