An Unforgettable Culinary Experience!

Bill was an incredible guide for our Shanghai food tour! He did a fantastic job introducing us to the local food scene, guiding us to the best spots, and explaining the history behind every dish. Everything we tasted was delicious, and Bill's passion made the experience truly special. A must-do tour in Shanghai!

Grat tour!

I had an amazing time on this food tour! Due to some last-minute cancellations, I ended up being the only person on the tour, but Bill still went ahead with it and put so much effort into making it a great experience. I really appreciated his dedication and enthusiasm. He took me to several fantastic local food spots that I would never have found on my own, and every stop offered something unique and delicious. Along the way, I learned about the dishes, the local food culture, and the city itself. The tour was fun, well organized, and felt very personal. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai and looking for an authentic food experience!

Great guide, amazing food

Bill took us to four different places. All hidden gems you wouldn’t normally find as a tourist. Everything was really tasty and Bill added to that by giving great insides to food culture and on top of that pointed out some interesting places and facts on the way.
