China Food Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Food China tours
Phillip | Traveled in September
Excellent tour with Cindy, precisely what I wanted: see a few authentic places without feeling like a tourist, and being taken care of wonderfully by a local. Also, even after the tour, I could ask Cindy for advice and recommendations and she was very helpful. I highly recommend this tour.
Dana | Traveled in September
Lynn, the tour guide, was amazing! Felt like a relaxing morning walking around and talking to a friend. The insect market was very interesting, but the highlight for me was Confucius Temple and the Tea ceremony - its a must try while in Shanghai. Definitely recommend the tour!
Julian | Traveled in September
In Shanghai, you will see skyscrapers and the Bund, but Shanghai has more to offer. Try Cindy's tour and immerse yourself in cultural quirks like stories about cricket fighting, common people's housings that contrast the skyscrapers, and a tour through the cultural rich Confucius-Temple. While at it, you will eat tremendous, delicious food and receive a memorable tea ceremony. Highly recommended if you want to experience a different Shanghai. Thank you Cindy!
Lisa Marie | Traveled in August
I loved my tour with Lynn. Doing this tour with her was like exploring on foot with a good friend. Lynn was so informative and accommodating. Seeing the old Shanghai was pretty special and I loved all the food we tasted along the way. Thank you so much! I was in Shanghai on business and I would highly recommend this tour, I'd love to do it again with my husband and kids.
Antonio F | Traveled in August
Walking through the old streets in Shanghai with a few foods tasting across the way, and a visit to the traditional markets, as well as tea ceremony on Confucius temple, we learnt about its philosophy. The guide was an excellent communicator and was very understanding.
Napha Hehir | Traveled in May
This was such an amazing tour. Our guide was really lovely, spoke good English, was knowledgeable about the area, and kept it at our pace. First piece of advice, start hungry, and by the end of the day you will be full. Highlight was sitting on a little non-tourist street having breakfast with the locals. The twisted bread and the soup dumpling are just to die for! The pecking duck and the peanut noodles were also AMAZING!
