I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Jim is friendly and warm and as a local Shanghainese, incredibly knowledgeable about Chinese and Shanghai history and culture. The local, often family-owned businesses that we visited on this tour were interesting, varied and the food was very high quality (special shout-out to the excellent coffee, beautiful fruit shop, the gorgeous tea house and outstanding xiao long bao dumplings on the final stop). Jim provides history and context to the area, the buildings, the history, the food and culture. A fantastic tour - three hours flew by with interesting conversation, a gentle and easy walk and incredible food. Thank you Jim for a wonderful experience.

I’ve done a LOT of food tours - Europe, Anericas and Asia and this is the best I’ve experienced. Jim is a local, perfect English speaker and knows not only the local places to dine but also can talk you thru the history of the French Concessions as well. 3 hours flew - walking is easy & you get to see back streets life you’d otherwise miss in between delicious eating and tea drinking. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to sample and see Shanghai with a knowledgeable guide!

A perfect way to get to know the city and the Chinese food! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Shanghai! My tour guide met me at the agreed spot, we walked around and then he actually assisted me in getting back to my hotel room. We walked around the city. He would talk about the culture, customs and he would make me try different food. This tour is perfect for anyone to who wants to try local food! Make sure you bring your appetite!

Jim was an amazing guide! He personalised the food tour to my request to try authentic food in Shanghai. Even though it rained throughout I was still able to enjoy and ate enough to last me the entire day. 100% recommend when visiting Shanghai as you not only try food but walk around neighbourhoods that aren't on the tourist map!
