Shanghai: Night Food Tour with 15+ Tastings & Local BeersYou taste 15+ regional Chinese dishes across a residential neighborhood north of Nanjing Road, paired with local beers or spirits, guided by someone who knows the history and the restaurants. The tour includes a welcome packet with restaurant recommendations and local tips for the rest of your stay. Plan for an evening out — roughly three hours on foot, stopping frequently to eat.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to eat like locals rather than tourists, and who have an evening free to spend walking and tasting across a real Shanghai neighborhood. The pace is steady but unhurried — you're stopping frequently to eat, so it's not a strenuous walk, just a long one.
Shanghai French Concession: 10-Dish Food Tour & Local EatsYou walk through the French Concession with a local guide, eating at four real restaurants and trying 10+ dishes that tourists usually miss — xiaolongbao, pan-fried buns, pork belly, and fresh dessert. All meals and drinks are included, the group stays small, and you finish with craft beer near the subway so you can get back on your own time.Is it for me?Book this if you want to eat what locals actually eat in Shanghai without spending hours researching restaurants or navigating menus alone — the guide takes the planning out of it and the fixed route means you hit four solid spots in one evening instead of wandering and guessing.
Shanghai French Concession: Late Night Food Tour & Street EatsYou’ll wander Shanghai’s French Concession at night with a local guide, tasting over 20 late-night dishes from Uyghur noodles to street barbecue and craft beer. Expect laughter over shared plates, stories about Shanghai’s changing neighborhoods, and enough food for a real dinner — plus small moments you’ll remember long after.
Shanghai: Street Breakfast Food Tour & French Concession WalkYou’ll start your morning shoulder-to-shoulder with locals in Xiangyang Park, tasting Shanghai’s classic street breakfasts—from jianbing crepes to hand-pulled noodles—with a guide who knows every vendor by name. Watch tai chi and water calligraphy, sample hot dumplings straight from the steamer, and leave with a full belly and new stories buzzing in your head.
Shanghai Bike Tour: French Concession, Xintiandi & Street FoodYou’ll pedal through Shanghai’s French Concession and Xintiandi with a local guide who knows every shortcut and snack stand. Expect street food stops, laughter over language mix-ups, photo highlights included—and that feeling of seeing Shanghai up close instead of through a window.
Private Shanghai Evening Street Food Walking and Cruise TourA private evening walking tour in Shanghai that starts with traditional street food tastings in the city center, moves through the Old Town Bazaar toward the Bund with guide commentary on local culture and history, and ends with a 60-minute sightseeing cruise on the Huangpu River. Your English-speaking guide meets you at a designated point, handles the route and timing, and arranges your taxi back to your hotel at the end. The food stalls close early, so same-day arrivals landing after 3 p.m. should not book this tour.Is it for me?Book this if you're arriving with a free evening and want a private guide to lead you through street food stops, walking neighborhoods, and a river cruise—all in one flowing sequence with English-language history commentary.
