Amazing City adventure

The city was a monster maze with breathtaking views. We were able to navigate with minimal stress because our guide, Jessie, planned the route and maximized our use of limited time. She was most helpful, recommending restaurants and shopping areas for a most authentic experience.

An exciting city with some unique attractions.

An magic city with some unique attractions. Reminds me a larger and more modern version of Hong Kong. Definitely worth spending several days there. Tip - try to avoid the weekend crowds.

Great full day tour

We had a really fun, easygoing day exploring Chongqing. The ancient town was a highlight, with lots of interesting shops and plenty of photo opportunities, and the city park had amazing views over the skyline. The train going through the building was honestly pretty average—but watching all the people trying to get the perfect photo made it way more entertaining. Be prepared though—there’s a lot of walking and plenty of stairs along the way, and the city would be a nightmare to navigate without the right guide. Hotpot was a big win—spicy, social, and exactly what you want when you’re there. When it comes to ordering, it’s definitely a case of “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” We finished the day with the city lights across the river, which looked incredible and was the perfect way to wrap things up. Miki, our guide, really made the day. She was friendly, easy to chat to, and her English was great. You could tell she knew the city well, and she kept everything running smoothly without it ever feeling rushed.

Thank you Miki!

Memorable trip!

Highly recommend Jessie! She was incredibly patient with all my questions leading up to our tour and was so detailed and thoughtful throughout. She truly took care of us. We free roamed on our first day, but doing a 1 day tour with Jessie made such a huge difference. There was so much information, history, and context we never would’ve known without a guide. She also knew all the backend routes that would’ve been really difficult to navigate on our own. One of the kids got sick and Jessie was amazingly flexible with timing and made adjustments throughout the day without any stress. She also shared so many helpful tips for the rest of our trip in Chongqing. I can’t recommend her customer service highly enough. Thank you, Jessie, for making our trip truly memorable!

Thank you Kim! Welcome back to Chongqing in the future!!

An informative and fun trip to all the must-see places in Chongqing

I highly recommend this experience if you don't have much time and would like to visit all the must see places in Chongqing. If you have your own ideas of places to see, I'm sure the guide and driver would be happy to introduce them to you as well. My guide, Miki, provided a very informative experience and I learned a lot while talking with her. I also had a lot of fun and got to eat tasty local cuisine.
