Absolutely fantastic!

Published on Oct, 2024

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!

A must try if you are a foodie

Published on Mar, 2024

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

Published on Nov, 2023

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!

Nice afternoon tour

Published on Oct, 2023

Really good your, guide was super friendly and got to try lots of sweet treats and do some tea tasting.

One of our best tours!

Published on Aug, 2019

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!
