An informative and enjoyable tour. Our guide, Yu, was an amazing person—very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. If you're interested in learning about the history of the Party's formation, the civil war, and the founding of the People's Republic of China, this tour is highly recommended. And if you're lucky enough to have a guide like Yu, the experience will be even better. Highly recommended!

Ricardo told us the story of how communism began in China and took us on a very pleasant tour of the French Concession. It was a very interesting experience, where we learned a lot about the history and culture of Shanghai.

06/01/2026 It was an excellent experience
I participated in the Qibao tour with Chinahora, and it was an excellent experience. Although I had visited Shanghai before, I had never explored this charming old town. I was amazed by its traditional streets, canals, and the local atmosphere it still retains. The guide was very attentive and shared interesting stories about Qibao's culture and history. We also had time to try some typical snacks and enjoy the atmosphere at a leisurely pace. It's a perfect excursion for those who want to discover a different side of Shanghai, away from the skyscrapers and tourist hotspots. I would definitely recommend it to any visitor.

06/01/2026 A highly recommended experience for business travelers
I took advantage of a free afternoon during my business trip to Shanghai to join this tour, and it was an excellent decision. I was with an Italian business delegation for meetings with Chinese state-owned enterprises, so I had very little time for sightseeing. The visit to the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Bund allowed me to see two of the city's most iconic landmarks in just a few hours. The guide, Elfa, was very professional and shared interesting information about Shanghai's history and development. Everything was very well organized and perfect for business travelers who want to discover the city without any hassle. Definitely a highly recommended experience for business travelers like myself.

01/05/2026 The Best Private Tour of Shanghai with a Guide
I am a student at Fudan University in Shanghai. On January 2nd, my parents and relatives came to visit me from Spain, and we booked a private day tour of Shanghai. Our guide, Yu, was truly outstanding. His explanations were very professional, clear, and engaging, and he also showed constant attention and meticulous service, especially to my parents, which we greatly appreciated. Although I have been living in Shanghai for some time, this tour allowed me to rediscover the city from a different perspective, and it was an unforgettable experience for my family as well. Without a doubt, the best tour we have taken in China. Many thanks to Yu and Chinahora for a perfect day!

10/15/2025 Private Tour of Shanghai
We found Chinahora online and booked a private, personalized day tour of Shanghai. From the very first moment, the experience completely exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Yu, accompanied us to the Bund, Yu Garden, Nanjing Road, the Jade Buddha Temple, and the Oriental Pearl Tower, explaining each place with great professionalism and warmth. We are very grateful to Yu for her friendly manner, clear explanations, and attentiveness throughout the tour. It wasn't our first time in China, and we had booked guided tours in other cities, but Chinahora's service was undoubtedly far superior to that of other agencies. This tour was, without a doubt, the most memorable of our entire trip. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience in Shanghai!
