We enjoyed a fantastic morning with Jin experiencing Shanghai foods and learning more about culture and traditions. Jin was knowledgeable and fun to be with. We were able to try many things that we would not have had the opportunity to do otherwise. Our morning included several types of dumplings, pancake, seasonal fruits from a fruit stand, coffee, noodles and Peking duck. It was such a good time and a great value. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Shanghai!

A huge thank you to our guides Jade and Jim for a wonderful food tour. We were taken to some amazing places to try traditional Shanghai dishes including noodles, dumplings and dim sum. We loved our tea room experience as well. We ended a great evening by enjoying a drink together at a brewery in the French Concession area. Would highly recommend this tour.

Jade guided us, my son and I, for our first day in Shanghai in an amazing discovery tour. Great food in authentic places, tea tasting, local market, a perfect blend. We were just the 2 of us with Jade and she really made it lively, bringing lot of information on the city and the way of life. Definitely recommend to start your stay with this tour !

I was lucky enough to be solo on this tour, and guided by the wonderful Jade who showed me places I never would have attempted to go on my own. Jade was so knowledgeable, explaining some of the history of the Former French Concession, while we tried amazing dishes such as soup noodles, Xiaolongbao, and the greatest crispy pork soup dumpling I've ever tried in my life! I loved visiting local places where the residents go and seeing first hand how it's all made. Jade is a fantastic guide - so charming, funny and spontaneous. Renting and riding a bicycle through the streets of Shanghai was awesome, and she helped me set up my Alipay so that I can pretty much do anything from the app! The pace of the tour was great, and she was good enough to warn me not to fill up too fast on food because of the places we were visiting. I absolutely loved the tour, and highly recommend it. 👌

Jim has a great vibe and made the tour super enjoyable. Good stories of traditions and culture. Nice combination of foods; a little noodles, a lil dum sum, kebabs, bao, and desserts and a few beverages in between including a treat. Was not hungry by the end :) Great night indeed, would recommend!

Amazing Jade - my daughter and I did the foodie tour yesterday with Jade who was a super host and we had a lot of fun. Tasted some great local cuisine , looked round a local Market and even had a little cycle experience which was a lovely bonus . Jade was so kind and accommodating with my daughter’s dietary needs couldn’t of been more helpful. She also helped us do a little food shopping to get some wheat free products . I will definitely do this tour again (in approx two weeks time ) this time with my vegetarian friend. Don’t hesitate book this tour you will definitely enjoy it and not leave hungry

We took a breakfast tour; there were about 7 dishes we tasted from local streets, fruit shops, tea shops in a drug store, a wet market to old/legendary Xiao Long Bao restaurants. Learning and absorbing yourself into Shanghai's way of life through food and good conversation.

The food was amazing and the tour guide did a great job hosting us. My favourite dish was the great times noodles and the Chinese pancakes. Our drinks consisted of different varieties of local coffee and tea which tasted superb.

Definitely the highlight of our visit to Shanghai. We did the afternoon exploration and host Jade was our guiding angel, taking us to wonderful, hidden places to eat where the locals were and the tourists were not. So much food: noodles, a tea specialist, mucho dumplings and time left over for the city’s calming gardens and local laneways. Highly recommended, just don’t plan on eating much for the rest of the day!

There is no better way to spend 24 hours in Shanghai than with a walking food tour. Our guide was amazing, we ate so well and off the beaten track. We would go back to Shanghai just for this experience! Jim is a delight.

Jim has exceptional knowledge about Chinese culture and history. Without this tour we would have never known or tried the authentic Shanghai cuisine and the real Chinese teas. Cheers Jim !

Exploring Shanghai's food scene with Jim and Jade was an absolute highlight. He expertly blended fun, food, and culture, introducing us to amazing local spots and sharing deep insights into some Chinese traditions. Jim's enthusiasm for answering questions and sharing stories made the tour feel personal and informative. It was more than just a food tour; it was a deep dive into the local way of life, offering great value. Highly recommended for a genuine taste of Shanghai!

Our family had a truly great evening with Jim as a guide. We went local places that we would not have found on our own, and had delicious food. The tour in itself was well worth the money, and as such highly recommendable, but the unexpected addon was our guide, Jim. Not only is his English truly excellent (which made an actual difference to my daughters' understanding and experience) but his friendly attitude and willingness to share views and experiences of life in Shanghai, made the night just as much a cultural experience and gave us valueable insights into Shanghai and Chinese culture and life. If possible, I would rate it 6 stars. Thanks so much, Jim - from all of us in Denmark!

We were a small group of 4 and had a tour with a fun girl named Jade. She took us out to 3-4 restaurants to try some local dishes and some has Michelin stars. As we ate, we discussed and talked about the Chinese culture. During our walk to the next restaurant which were all close by, we'd stop and look at some historical site and learn more about it. It was a great overall experience to connect with others and locals to discuss culture and eat great food!

The food tour with Jimmy and Jade was so fun. They took you through the French Concession area and we tried so many local foods. Jimmy would always make sure you had plenty and was willing to order more and different items if you wanted them. 8 people were in the tour and we had great fun socializing craft beer with people from all over the world. Jimmy is a nice young man who goes out of his way to make sure you have a great night. Would highly recommend.

We had one of the best food tours ever here in Shanghai. Our guide Jim was fun, informative, and helpful. Not only did we visit several restaurants with excellent variety of food and drink, but we also saw where the locals hang! We also learned so much from Jim about Chinese culture, history, and traditions. He answered all questions happily and shared his own experiences living and working in Shanghai. We really loved this tour and recommend it wholeheartedly. Great value for the money too!
