Loved the lively energy of Chongqing and its bold, spicy hotpot! The quiet Taoist temple inside a cave was a beautiful spiritual escape. Jessie made it a genuine local experience.
Our guide Lesley wasn’t just knowledgeable—she was emotionally connected to the city. She told us childhood stories, taught us local slang, and even showed us how she orders hotpot with friends. The route itself was beautifully planned. The Taoist cave temple felt secretive and sacred. The walk was gentle and scenic. And dinner was the grand finale. This tour didn’t just show us the sites, it brought us into them.
Such a good trip, We just stayed two days in Chongqing and booked this trip for first day. The itinerary is good and we all love our guide Lesley! And enjoyed the dinner a lot! Best for those travelers who don't want any other fees like me.
We booked several tours in different cities across China, and every service was truly excellent. In Chongqing, we had the pleasure of meeting Lesley—she was so attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly with our entire family. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between sightseeing, cultural discovery, and tasty local hotpot. The kids loved exploring hidden temples and my parents still talks about the views! Thank you, CET, for a lovely trip and wonderful memories in China. Highly recommended for families!
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your tours across China, and that Chongqing became a special stop for your whole family. Lesley will be delighted to know her care and knowledge made the trip memorable—from hidden temples to hotpot and those amazing city views. We’re truly honored to be part of your journey. Hope to welcome your family back for more China adventures!
It’s a long day, but well worth it. You get to see and taste the real Chongqing—especially with a local guide. And it's great for solo travelers like me! I made new friends over dinner and learned a few phrases in Chongqing dialect.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed a full, flavor-packed day in Chongqing. It’s always wonderful to hear when solo travelers feel connected — sharing hotpot, picking up a bit of local dialect, and discovering the city like a true local. Happy you made new friends along the way! Hope to explore more of China with you next time.
I did this tour with two of my college friends while traveling through southwest China, and we’re still talking about it weeks later. The temple visit and trail walk were beautiful, but what made this day unforgettable was the hotpot at the end. It wasn’t just a meal—it was an experience. Our guide explained the ingredients, showed us how to mix our sauces like locals, and made sure everyone had a spice level they could handle (or test their limits, in my case 😅). We laughed so much over dinner—it was the kind of bonding moment you just can’t get in a fast-paced, generic tour. This one had soul.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad your day with friends left such great memories — from the scenic trail and temple to the unforgettable hotpot at the end. Your guide loved seeing you enjoy the local flavors, laughs, and spice. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back for more fun and immersive experiences in China!
My girlfriend and I booked this Chongqing day tour as part of our China honeymoon—and it turned out to be one of our favorite days. The Taoist cave temple was peaceful and otherworldly, and we loved how our guide explained the symbolism behind the rituals without overwhelming us. The ancient trail walk gave us some beautiful views (and time to just talk quietly). Then came the hotpot dinner—what an unforgettable experience! We got to try different spice levels, and the guide even showed us how to mix sauces like locals! We came for sightseeing, but left with so much more—stories, flavors, and a new appreciation for Chinese culture.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled that your Chongqing day tour became such a special part of your honeymoon — from the serene cave temple to the scenic trail and that unforgettable hotpot. It’s wonderful to hear you left with stories, flavors, and memories that go beyond sightseeing. We’d love to welcome you back for more magical moments in China!
