What our past guests are saying about this UnTour:
“A real gem - saw a part of Shanghai we would otherwise have missed”
We booked the morning "Street Eats" tour and it was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Shanghai. We sampled some truly delicious food at places
we simply wouldn't have known to visit on our own. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the provenance of the
dishes, but also the people that cooked them and the surrounding area.
From the humdrum community of the park, crammed with groups of dancing women, tai chi fanatics and water calligraphers, to the hustle and bustle -
and jumping prawns! - of the water market, we'd highly recommend this delicious tour of the city. Just make sure you bring your camera and a healthy
appetite! - Wozfraggle"
"I had a short stay in Shanghai and wanted to use some of this time experiencing the authentic local cuisine; UnTour Shanghai provided tours to do just that and I went on the Public Steet Eats Breakfast Untour which took place around the (former) French Concession. Beginning at a park to witness some of the morning routines of the local people including tai chi and water calligraphy before setting off on a culinary journey around the streets for a unique breakfast. The food we sampled was authentic and the food that the locals have for breakfast every day; Kyle our guide from UnTours had seeked out a collection of popular street food kitchens that specialised in cooking particular dishes each one very different to the next, from dumlings, noodles, tofu dishes, crepe with a spicy filling, rice cakes, spring onion patties and finishing with a delicious Portuguese custard tart.
Kyle has a great knowledge of the area, the Shanghai culture and the food and I guess their name UnTour gives you a clue; it doesn't feel like a tour, more a morning wandering the streets with friends eating as you go. We also went through a Food Market to see all the wierd and wonderful ingredients laid out for sale, and there was a coffee stop to feed the caffeine addiction too." - Nick R.
