Shanghai Coffee & Breakfast Tour
Description
Shanghai’s history of migration has made it China’s largest and most diverse city. Long-time locals have called this place home since it was a sleepy fishing village, yet skyscraper-studded business districts have attracted plenty of outsiders who keep Shanghai at the forefront of global trends. What does it all mean? It can be difficult to discern the good from the great in a city with over 8000 coffee shops and a plethora of eateries offering flavors from every corner of China and beyond. But fear not, for we’ve spent decades eating (and sipping) our way through the city, and we’ve got the best lined up for you – all tucked away in the charming streets of old-Shanghai.

Max gave us a true local experience. He was very enthusiastic and took us all unique places which is difficult to know as a tourist. He is a good story teller too. I really enjoyed the food and dog cafe was the best. Max seemed very nice and a humble person. I wish him well
What a fun Shanghai morning you had! We loved reading that the dog cafe stood out for you, and that you enjoyed the food and Max’s stories along the way.
Fantastic experience! Max was an exceptional guide! He allowed us to experience a morning as true Shanghainese, showing us a cross-section of the city through his eyes 🔥
Che fantastica mattina a Shanghai hai vissuto! Ci è piaciuto leggere che Max ti ha fatto vedere la città attraverso i suoi occhi, proprio come hai descritto tu.
We had such a fun time with our fabulous guide Weijia. She was super informative, really lovely and took us to some fantastic spots that we would never have visited. There was plenty of stops (and plenty of food - do not eat the day before your tour!) We tried the best local breakfast food, and some awesome (and different!) coffees, as well as learning a lot about Shanghai and local foods of all sorts. I wish I had of booked the French Concession tour as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
What a fun Shanghai breakfast with Weijia you had! The local breakfast foods and those different coffees made the morning feel so full for you. Your note about wanting the French Concession tour too really made us smile!
