Awesome experience, would recommend !

Had such a fun time on this tour during my 18 hour layover! Jim was a great tour guide and all the food and drinks were very well selected :) The tour was very informative and all the food kept me full for a whole day haha. It’s also a great way to meet fellow travellers !

So full I may have to roll home

This was an excellent food tour run by Jade who kept us all laughing, interested and exceptionally filled with delicious snacks. Do not eat anything prior to your tour!! This is Shanghai hospitality at its finest and you will be completely spoilt.

Great authentic Shanghai experience

Fantastic tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and considerate. We had a great array of local foods to try. Really liked walking through all the back streets and seeing the local markets. Would highly recommend if you're looking for authentic a Shanghai experience.

Amazing experience and amazing tour guide. Thank you, Patrick

This was an amazing experience especially as it could be difficult to translate the menu. Patrick was super welcoming and friendly, I felt very comfortable with him during this tour. He was super knowledgeable and I tried some yummy local foods that I would not have known about otherwise. Thank you for a great tour!

Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer cost?

+

Prices start at $35 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 Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer take?

+

Plan for about 3 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 Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer?

+

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 Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer?

+

Around 7 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Secret Noodle and Wonton in Shanghai Alleyways with Local Beer 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, Suzhou Private Day Trip from Shanghai with Bullet Train Option, 4-Hour Flexible Private Shanghai City Tour. 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.
