Such a fun tour!
You walk around 3 different restaurants in the French Concession eating different local dishes. Then finish with the most yummy mango dessert followed by local beer.
Emma, our guide was so bubbly and chatted away about architecture, food, Shanghai life that it was like being out with a friend.
Highly recommend the tour.

I want to firstly say a massive thank you to our wonderful tour guide Sam! She was amazing and looked after our every need, from answering our questions to sorting vegetarian friendly meals, she was amazing. She also took the time to make sure that we got back to our hotel safely, helping to arrange taxis for us. For this and the whole night she organised, we are very grateful. We had a wonderful night, thank you Sam, you’re amazing!

Had a wonderful stroll and savor through Shanghai’s French Concession with Cloris as our guide. We enjoyed stops at several restaurants which had tables set for our small group and the delicious food was served promptly. You will definitely get a variety of dishes throughout the night, topped off with a nice dessert and a stop at a local tap house. Very enjoyable evening.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

What a fun way to get to see the French Comcession area of Shanghai! We are sooooo much food and each dish was absolutely delicious. Our guide, Cloris, was friendly and very knowledgeable - we had no idea it was her first tour as she was very confident and knew so much about each local restaurant.
Make sure you arrive hungry!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for the trust, Nellie! Cloris will be so happy to hear from you. We love taking our guests to hidden eateries! You are welcome
back to Shanghai anytime!

Excellent tour. Learned so much about local food, which was delicious! Our tour guide, Cora, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like she was a long lost friend! I love the places she introduced us to and felt like we ate like the locals did. Thank you!

Loved this tour, you got to taste a bit of everything and I even had the chance to make a couple soup dumplings myself. I would highly recommend his tour if you had the chance.

Anis our guide was friendly, fun and a good host! Eat good food I wouldn’t have found myself in some cool Shanghai local places!

We had a blast! Right from the get go Tingyu, our guide was bubbly, fun and full of energy and interesting information. The five venues we visited were all different and amazing in their own way, some traditional and some, like the craft beer bar, more modern. All of them stunning food and beverage options. Tingyu ordered ahead so that our meals were ready when we arrived. We were lucky to have only four other people on the tour with us which made it loads of fun. We would highly recommend lost plate tours and if you get Tingyu as your guide your in for a treat!
