Why Edible Shanghai Culinary and Culture Tours?

Thank you to each of our guests' incredible energy, interest, and most importantly, appetites!  We are proud of our high quality service and glowing guest feedback.  Your feedback says it all:

"It was amazing. The highlight of my trip."

"Just a quick note to say that the time spent with you in Shanghai was Truly a highlight of my week long visit to Shanghai. Luxuriating in the oversized bathtub at the St. Regis was a distant second.

Truth is my husband had been eating banquet style meals with 25 co-workers, 20 dishes a sitting for two nights and he was burned out on Chinese food. It was just the sort of cutting experience that we needed to wake us up.

My time with Jamie was so informative, fun and tasty; just the right combination of knowledge, enthusiasm and interest in people to be an excellent guide. I really appreciate that she took my requests into consideration when she planned our half day together. I’m glad that she suggested choices at each restaurant and was thrilled to eat at places I would not have felt comfortable going to myself. Not only was Jamie great company during the tour but she followed up one of our conversations with an email of suggested restaurants and dishes for the one dinner my husband and I would have together, she made the reservation for us and sent me back the address in Chinese that I could show to the taxi driver!

I worked in group travel for 20 years. I’ve led museum and university alumni groups of mature adults on educational tours to many corners of the world and I’ve worked with lots of local guides. Edible Shanghai and Jamie offer a quality experience! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and insight, not to mention some delicious food. I’m already missing the Nanjing dumplings!

I also want to thank you for all the great tips you gave to me to get to know the city so much better and to congratulate you and your team for this extraordinary idea of the culinary tours. I will recommend you as much as I can and hope to see you in the near future."

"Thank you for taking me through the streets of the city and showing me that I CAN eat so many of the things that I was curious about and wanted to sample. The food was remarkably tasty, and gave me the courage to try more! You enriched my trip to China immensely! I am telling everyone about my experience!"

“My day with Ian in Hangzhou was great fun and educational…especially his explanation of the tea making process and information on some of the Chinese medicinal herbs we encountered while hiking.”
