The best part of our visit to Chongqing was interacting with our guide, Yomi. Not only is she knowledgeable, practical, and flexible, but her personality fills the room. I have bad knees and do not walk very well, but Yomi made everything as easy for me as possible. Chongqing is always hilly, always crowded, and in the summer it can be brutally hot. But having a guide like Yomi makes everything easy and pleasant, and we were excited to begin each day's adventure. If you have any choice in guide selection, you should definitely try to arrange to work with Yomi.
thank you for your review and we hope you all the best!
What an amazing place! Miki was our tour leader and she is honestly fantastic! Not only did she cater the tour to our family with a teen son but it honestly felt like we were touring round with a great friend we had known for along time. We had a great time and laughed all day. The tour was really amazing and covered lots of different and exciting places and spaces, parks, temples, local hangouts, vintage shopping, markets, great views of the city, local foods and delicacies and so so much more. Miki was great at making sure we were comfortable on the tour and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to Chongqing, and would definitely see if Miki was available for our next adventure.
Thank you very much and we are looking forward to meet you and your family again in the future!!!
We had a fantastic experience on this Chongqing tour. The itinerary was very complete and gave us the opportunity to see many of the city’s most iconic landmarks while also learning about its history and culture. It was a great way to explore Chongqing. Our guide, Miki, was absolutely wonderful. She was always attentive, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. She was also very flexible and happily adapted the tour to our requests, which made the experience feel much more personal. We highly recommend this tour, and especially Miki as a guide. She truly made our visit to Chongqing even more enjoyable.
Thank you very much, we are very happy you enjoyed the visit!
Our tour guide, Miki, was wonderful. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My family and I were very appreciative as she made our trip quite memorable.
We are so happy to host you. Wish you all the best!!
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.
Thank you and welcome back to China again!!
The tour was very complete and our guide Miki was excellent, flexible, knowledgeable and super friendly! The vehicle was super comfortable, we had lots of fun and the views were amazing! Definitely recommendable!
So happy to host you guys! Wish you all the best!!
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.
welcome to CQ :)
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 so much for your wonderful 5-star review—we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It means a lot to our small team, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the tour. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
Really enjoyed my trip to Chongqing. The local cuisine was delicious and the people there were super friendly.
