Excellent way to spend an afternoon in Shanghai, I warmly recommend!!
Excellent choice for an afternoon in Shanghai and I couldn't have spent it in better company;-) Not only are the desserts nice, but the guide, Jim, shares all his knowledge and provides explanations that make the tour worthwhile. In addition, a very nice tea tasting at the end. I highly recommend!
Do not hesitate to also look at the other tours organized by Shanghai Foodie, I had a wonderful evening with their "food tour in the French concession".

Absolutely fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic! We have travelled all over the globe and have done many tours, including food-related ones, and I can tell you that this is one of the best we have done! We had a fantastic time - the afternoon was so relaxing and with the perfect company. Lots of food and tea with explanations about the Chinese culture and traditions but also coupled with history and delivered in such a fun and engaging way. You will get to visit places that you would never be able to if you were travelling by yourself or in a large group tour. I would recommend to everyone: better than all food (and other) tours out there!

Authentic food tour
Highly recommended tour to all those who want to see and experience a more authentic Shanghai and outside the tourist circuit. Jim is very knowledgeable and a very pleasant and nice Guide. In addition to trying so many foods and drinks, he gave us much appreciated advice. He also gave us several pills of local history and culture that are hardly found online. Price adapted to experience

Recommended for both those who are new to Shanghai and those who visit often.
I think this is a good tour for people who find the obvious tourist attractions boring. It was better because it wasn’t a tour with many people rushing around! I can comfortably ask questions and I think I will have very good memories of taking a leisurely walk from downtown to a quiet neighborhood. The guide was also very friendly.

A must try if you are a foodie
We went on this tour in March with my friend and I wholeheartedly recommend it. First we tried some local Shanghai dessert shops and bakeries with Jim and finished with tea tasting. All the while we talked about Chinese history and life in general, Jim really helped us bridge the gap between Chinese culture and ours.

Amazing treats and tea in Shanghai
We had an amazing time on our tour! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us all over, tasting delicious snacks along the way and educating us about the food, culture and history of Shanghai. We tried many desserts; fig tart, savory moon cake, Jewish cookies, cinnamon rolls, smoothies and more. We sampled a variety of wonderful fresh fruits from a neighborhood fruit vendor, including fresh squeezed pomegranate juice. And we sat for a lovely tea session at a local tea shop. We tried a wide variety of Chinese teas. We’ve always wanted to enjoy the tea at one of these iconic neighborhood tea shops! Overall, we had a wonderful time. We had a great chat and learned a lot about the city. And we tried a wide variety of home town favorites that we might have missed otherwise. Our guide also gave us great recommendations on what to check out during our stay in Shanghai. Definitely recommend!

One of our best tours!
We tried so many foods, bubble teas, new pastries, and a variety of teas in many different locations. Wish we did this tour first so that we could go to these places again and again. Jim was a great tour guide. He kept us excited and filled us with alot of wonderful tasting foods!

A fascinating afternoon ....
Thank you for this tour. Perfect. Our 12-year-old daughter, who wanted this tour, was overjoyed. Also suitable for us everything. A reason for us to book tours with Tripadvisor again and again. Very well tuned, not boring at all, extremely interesting for all participants ...

Learned so much!
My guide told me that this tour doesn't get much attention which is a shame because it was great! Visited several bakeries, My Tea Pink for a yummy bobo drink made with tea, walked around the Xintiandi area and also thru the old neighborhoods. In the old neighborhood stopped by a small traditional tea shop where I learned all about the various kinds of tea, how tea is fast becoming obsolete. Would definitely recommend this tour you will love it!
