A very talented woman of the sky - Five stars! The night food tour in Shanghai was fantastic, largely thanks to my exceptional guide. She was amazing—incredibly communicative and just genuinely cool to hang out with. She didn't just point out great places to eat; she made the whole experience engaging and fun. If you want a tour with great food and even better conversation, book this one!

Fantastic food tour - very local - This was a fantastic tour and Jamie was a great host. She was very knowledgeable about Shanghai and its local food and we tried a wide variety of local dishes at non-touristy places. All the food was great and there was a lot of it!

This tour was unreal - I’ve done a lot of food tours and this was the best. Kurt took us to so many spots - noodles, dumplings, skewers, bakery. All of the selections were delicious and he is a fantastic host. Highly, highly recommend this tour and Kurt as a guide.

Fun Late Night Foodie Tour - Really fun evening on the Late Night Foodie tour on a Monday night. Our guide Kurt was great, friendly, punctual and informative. Would definitely recommend it if you're solo in Shanghai. I would probably suggest the earlier session though, since the late night session ended around 1130pm (although I liked this since we got our full experience!).

Shanghai Eats - This was a fantastic tour to experience food like a local. Our guide, TJ, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the area well. I especially appreciated how flexible the tour was—unlike others I’ve been on with set stops and strict time limits, TJ was open to adjusting based on our interests. If we wanted to stay longer at one place or move on more quickly, she made it work. That flexibility made the experience feel much more relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A delectable walk through the foods and streets of Shanghaii - The food and the late night walk were equally enjoyable. The guide had plenty of information on the various food offerings and on the history infusing the Shanghai streets.

A glimpse into Shanghai nightlife and foodie treats - With a short transit and travelling solo, I booked this tour on a whim to taste some of Shanghai’s delights and see some of its nightlife. It was well worth it!
Helen was an amazing guide, making me feel very welcome and catering to my no pork dietary needs. Helen showed us so much variety from local sesame noodles to Xinjian BBQ. All with beer, sweets in tow!
Thank you Helen; I loved it! <3
