Napoli Turista · Yuyuan Old Street

Two hours of Old Street snacks

A small group meets at Yuyuan Garden metro and eats its way along Shanghai Old Street and Yuyuan Old Street, with tea or coffee on the way. Pick it if you'd rather taste the bazaar than shop it, with a guide to point out the right stalls.

2-Hour Shanghai Street Food Tour in the Old City

About this experience

The listing is short on words, so here is only what it shows. The walk meets in front of Exit 1 of Yuyuan Garden station (121 Henan South Road), spends about 20 minutes on Shanghai Old Street (Fangbang Middle Road) and about 100 minutes on Yuyuan Old Street, and lasts 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 20. Tastings and snacks are included, with coffee and/or tea. The group is capped at 15, and the operator named on the listing is Napoli Turista.

It stays in the free bazaar and never enters Yu Garden. The garden gate is a short walk away if you want to go in before or after: 30 to 40 RMB, last entry 16:00, closed on Mondays except public holidays. The listing is new, with six reviews and a 5.0 average, and one reviewer suggests going in the evening, when the lights are on.

The $65 is a per-person price for a shared group, not a private tier. The listing marks it wheelchair and stroller accessible. Gratuities are extra.
