“Let’s begin with a heartfelt thank you, Chris, for an incredible tour of your hometown. Our first visit to Chongqing was a bit overwhelming, so we decided to book a guide to show us the city’s highlights and provide historical context. Chris picked us up from our hotel and, as a private tour, gave us the freedom to customize the itinerary to suit our interests. The tour was incredibly engaging, and we explored the city using various modes of transportation. We visited all the sights we wanted to see, and Chris shared fascinating insights about each location. To conclude our tour, we savored a delicious and unique Chongqing hotpot. If…”
A 3-hour private night view tour in Chongqing with a guide, metro ride, and secret viewpoints for skyline photos from fresh angles.
“La nostra guida Tian è stata semplicemente strepitosa. Colta, preparata, sempre chiara nelle spiegazioni e con una qualità rara: saper ascoltare davvero. Fin dal primo contatto ha letto con attenzione tutte le nostre richieste, adattando il tour in modo intelligente e sensibile rispetto alla proposta iniziale. Ha capito cosa per noi era essenziale vedere e che tipo di esperienza cercavamo. Il tour serale è stato altrettanto straordinario. Nessun luogo scontato o affollato, nessuna corsa alla “foto iconica”. Al contrario, una sequenza di panorami costruita con grande intelligenza, quasi come uno zoom progressivo sulla città: luci, profondità, contrasti che si rivelavano uno dopo l’altro, perm...”

“The tour was great, as I got to see both the Iconic and popular attractions, as well as a quick peek into what a normal market looks like. I want to thank Guo'er for all his help he provided and I'd especially like to thank my tour guide Percy for everything he did for me. Near the end of the tour I had an accident and got hurt, Percy was amazing and caring. He went above and beyond to get me help, we went to three different hospitals around Chongqing at night even after most doctors were gone. Percy stayed with me even way past my tour time was over…”

“Het was een zeer geslaagde dag met een uitstekende gids Ahan. We werkten het programma vlot af. De gids hield rekening met onze wensen. Voor we aan de wandelingen begonnen aten we lekker in een plaatselijk restaurant. De natuur is prachtig. Bij de drie bruggen wandel je eerst even, dan neem je de glazen lift naar beneden en je wandelt dan in het dal onder de drie bruggen. Vervolgens neem je de shuttle naar Longshui Gorge. Ook daar even wandelen, dan een lift naar het dal en dan een adembenemende wandeling door de kloof. Ahan wandelde met ons mee en gaf onderweg veel info. Vooraf werd er ook duidelijk gecommuniceerd.…”

“Jessie was genuinely the best tour guide I’ve had. It was my first time in China with my partner and she took us to some of the most beautiful and picturesque spots. She spoke perfect English, was super friendly and kind, and without her we would have never been able to see this beautiful city like we did. It didn’t feel like she was just a tour guide. It felt like she was our friend. We had some great conversations and food. And honestly I would recommend every single person visiting Chongqing to book this private tour with Jessie.
