Very bad experience

Matt_W, Aug 2023

We could not reach our tour operator by phone or email or WhatsApp up until 30 minutes before the tour was supposed to start. Then we were told that the tour could not be done. So we missed our chance for this during our once in a lifetime visit to Shanghai. Viator said we will get a full refund but it has not come through yet…

Excellent private tour and cooking class in Shanghai

Caroline_A, Nov 2019

I just returned from a trip to China. While visiting Shanghai, my friend and I arranged a private half day tour of Shanghai’s wet markets and a private cooking class. I am a self-proclaimed “foodie” and love to learn more about a country’s culture through its food. Our tour guide, Kenny, did not disappoint. She was very thorough and did a fantastic job taking us through the wet markets and teaching us more about Chinese and Shanghai culture. After the tour, our driver took us on a short ride to a chef’s home where we prepared several fantastic dishes. I loved this experience and hope to try making a few of the recipes at home! If you’re looking for a unique experience while visiting Shanghai, I recommend this tour!!
