Getting to know Chinese food
ingelingel, October 2026
We took the tour the first night of our Shanghai visit, which made us so much more brave to go on and order food for the rest of our trip. The guide was sociable and knowledgeable with information and stories about the food and the beverages. During the night we learnt a lot about different regions' foods. We made five and a half stops (the half was more of a snack). Nice to try food together in a group. With a smile on our faces we said goodbye for the night.

Awesome curated eclectic food tour
593avrahamg, September 2026
Our food tour through Shanghai with Yanny was absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious, and memorable culinary adventure, you will love it. We sampled an incredible variety of dishes, including the delicious pineapple bun, classic soup dumplings and spicy mapo tofu. Our guide flawlessly navigated us from classics like savory Cantonese-style roast meats to bold street food - including crickets. The juicy lamb skewers were a crowd-pleaser, paired perfectly with soft and warm scallion pancakes. Awesome experience. Highly recommended!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A food tour of China without leaving Shanghai
chrismU1989OA, September 2026
Our food tour with Yanny was the highlight of my first visit to Shanghai. From start to finish, she showed a genuine passion for Chinese provincial food culture. The standout moments for me were the lamb kebabs, combined with a great local beer. Not to be outdone by trying spiced Locusts for the first time. Places and dishes I would never have been brave enough to try solo. While I am sincerely full after the trip, I would definitely go again! And 1000% recommend to anyone.
Response from the operator · Jamie B
Hi Chris, thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled the tour was a highlight of your first visit to Shanghai. We love helping guests discover dishes and places they might not venture into on their own. And well done on trying locusts – hopefully it won’t by your only time!

I did this tour this evening, and LOVED it! Yanny was amazing - so knowledgeable and fun, and made the tour interesting and relaxed, whilst making sure we had a great time. I was so full by the end, and we left so much food behind!! Would recommend this to anyone, such a great way to explore Shanghai.

Hi Duncan, thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you had such a fun evening exploring Shanghai with Yanny. Ending the tour completely full is always our aim! Thanks for the recommendation.

Great food tour for more unique foods
linhtF4785PV, September 2026
My friend and I had a wonderful night exploring food with Janne! We wanted foods more off the beaten path, especially since we're fans of Chinese cuisine, and this definitely satisfied that want. Janne was a really kind and knowledgable guide.
Response from the operator · Jamie B
Hi Linh, thank you for the great review! We’re especially glad the tour delivered the more off-the-beaten-path food experience you and your friend were looking for.
