I appreciated the balance of learning about the history of the area and the foods we tried. I particularly enjoyed that the food covered a wide range of options and I tried food I haven’t had before. I come from a part of the USA that has a large Chinese diasporic population, so I’ve had a lot of Chinese food, but this tour found foods I’ve not seen back home! I will surely miss these items when I depart Shanghai.

Jim and Jade were absolutely fantastic. They were both extremely knowledgeably and we had a great time on the tour. We ate and drank at places we would never have found as a tourist. The food and drink was delicious. Jim and Jade spoke good English and the tour was better than we could have imagined. For someone who has never visited China this was the perfect tour to introduce us to the culture and food of Shanghai.

It was a little difficult for us to find the meetup spot since we couldn’t find the subway stop name online (google and other not banned web browsers). But the description of the meetup spot is accurate. We ended up mapping the address provided to find the tour. We went to a number of different restaurants and tried a variety of really good food. And our tour guide gave us some Shanghai history as we walked between spots. I definitely recommend this tour for a great small group food tour experience.

Was top notch experience. The eaterys were very unassuming but the food was A+++. Even better was the host who was extremely well spoken, very knowledgeable to the history of Shanghai. I learnt so much in just a short period. Also the food was more than you can eat!

Jade was a fantastic tour guide! Her English was great and she was able to offer really cool insights into the area, aspects of Chinese culture, history of buildings, and food. The food was delicious, I really enjoyed trying new things and I had a really great evening - would definitely recommend to anyone traveling whether solo or in a group!
