    Excellent tour!!!

    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!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Gray Line Shanghai as your travel partner!

    Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.

    How much does Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class cost?

    +

    Prices start at $309 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.

    Is Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Shanghai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Full-Day Private Guided Tour of Shanghai, Shanghai City Guided Walking Tour | China's 1st and Best Rated. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Shanghai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Shanghai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class?

    +

    Included: Air-Conditioned Coach; Lunch; English Speaking Guide; Round Trip Transfer from Hotels within Shanghai´s Middle Ring Freeway; and Self-made food for lunch. Not included: Optional Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 75 listed pickup locations in and around Shanghai. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Infant meals not included. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Shanghai Wet Market Tour and Chinese Cooking Class if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Shanghai. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
