For us, this was less about eating a huge meal than paying attention to several small ones. That rhythm worked for 3 hours.

Jin T.🇦🇪 UAE★★★★★2025-09

Practically speaking, the Shanghai meeting point was simple to find, and the food stops came at a sensible pace. There was time to ask what we were eating rather than just moving to the next plate.

Ben G.🇮🇳 India★★★★★2024-12

The useful part in Shanghai was not just trying food, but knowing what to order again later. I saved two dish names in my phone before the tour ended.

Pierre V.🇯🇵 Japan★★★★★2024-07

Honestly, this felt like travelling with someone who knew the area, not following a person holding a flag. That difference showed most at Shanghai.
