    I joined the Chongqing city tour today, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The day already started poorly. I was asked to be ready at my hotel at 7:40 a.m., but the driver only arrived at 8:00 a.m. Then I was told that the second guest would not be picked up until 8:45 a.m., even though the drive between our hotels was only about 10 minutes. As a result, I spent almost an hour waiting and sitting in the car before the tour had even properly started. A third participant never showed up. The biggest disappointment, however, was the guide. Her English skills were extremely limited, and she was unable to explain the sights or answer even basic questions. Throughout the entire day there was almost no interaction and virtually no information about Chongqing, its history, culture, or the places we visited. No matter what I asked, she could not provide an answer. I understand that not every guide can speak perfect English, but if an English-speaking tour is offered, the guide should at least be able to communicate and provide meaningful information. Whether the issue was a lack of English skills or insufficient knowledge, the result was the same: I learned almost nothing during the tour. Considering the price of 670 RMB (around CHF 80), I feel that the experience offered very poor value for money. Compared with many other tours I have taken, this was by far one of the weakest. I strongly recommend better training and qualification of guides to ensure that future guests receive the experience they are paying for.

    Thank you for choosing us. We are sincerely sorry for all the unpleasant experiences. We will verify all the issues you mentioned with the tour guide and take appropriate action. We will continue to improve our service.

    Chongqing city tour

    We had an excellent experience on this Chongqing city tour. The itinerary was very well designed and covered all of the city’s iconic highlights, including Hongya Cave, Liziba Station, the Yangtze River Cableway, Longmenhao, Kuixinglou, and several fascinating viewpoints that truly showcase Chongqing’s unique “8D” urban landscape. What made the experience exceptional was our guide, Eunice. She was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly well organized throughout the day. Her English was excellent, and she provided interesting historical and cultural insights that helped us better understand Chongqing’s history, architecture, and local lifestyle. Eunice was also very attentive to the needs of the group, ensuring that everyone was comfortable, knew where to meet, and had enough time to enjoy each stop. She was happy to answer questions, offer local recommendations, and share personal insights about the city, which made the tour feel much more authentic and engaging. Chongqing can be an overwhelming city for first-time visitors due to its size, geography, and complexity, but Eunice made everything easy and enjoyable. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to appreciate both the famous landmarks and the unique character of the city. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chongqing, and especially recommend requesting Eunice as your guide if possible. She was a major reason why our experience was so memorable.

    Best Chongqing tour guide ever

    Junhwa_K, May 2026
    Lily was our tour guide who is fluent in English. Lily and her driver took care of our trip in chongqing. The city is impossible to navigate as a foreign tourist. Lily organized our stops efficiently and made her best effort to accommodate our trip. Many thanks to Lily and the driver!

    Tracy is a wonderful tour...

    Monica_H, May 2026
    Tracy is a wonderful tour guide! She was informative and patient. We saw the most iconic places in one day! Absolutely amazing!

    Awesome trip

    julia_H, May 2026
    Very great tour we get much enjoyed it! Tracy was our guide! We will for sure recommend it to friends

    No english

    Kelci_M, May 2026
    Guide didn’t speak English. Had to use translation apps to communicate. Therefore no facts or history about the city were learned and made for a less interesting experience with little to no communication to the guide. However we did get to see the sights.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you had and deeply regret the situation. Could you please provide your travel dates? This will allow us to identify the tour guide on duty and verify the situation, which will help us take appropriate action. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

    Great tour!!

    It was an interesting day tour around Chongqing. We would not have covered even half of the activities had we done this on our own. Well worth the money spent. Jay was a great guide. He shared information about the city and the history, gave us enough time to explore on our own without feeling rushed.

    Tour guide was great!

    Saish_J, Apr 2026
    Lovely tour - guide was super knowledgeable and took us to all of the best spots. She answered all of our questions and took us to a great lunch in between. Would definitely recommend!

    Amazing tour with Julia

    Tsegaw_H, Apr 2026
    We had the pleasure of having Julia as our tour guide during our recent trip to Chongqing, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she is a true expert and passionate about sharing the wonders of this incredible city. Julia's knowledge of Chongqing's history, culture, and landmarks was exceptional. She was able to weave fascinating stories and interesting facts into every stop on the tour, making each location come alive. Whether it was the bustling streets of the city center, the tranquil beauty of the hot springs, or the awe-inspiring views of the Yangtze River, Julia ensured we never missed any of the highlights and hidden gems. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and she made sure we were comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. . If you're planning a trip to Chongqing, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Julia. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine care for her guests made our visit one of the best parts of our trip. We left with a deeper appreciation for the city's rich culture and history, all thanks to Julia's excellent guidance. Thank you, Julia, for making our time in Chongqing so memorable!

    Good City Overview...

    Heather_N, Apr 2026
    This was a good way to get to know the city. A lot of information was shared, and we covered areas that may have been intimidating for a tourist to reach on their own. William was very attentive and checked in frequently with the group to make sure everyone was doing ok, and his English was easy to understand.

    Great tour when short on time

    Charlene_R, Apr 2026

Every detail was well taken care of, and I felt safe and respected throughout the tour. Thanks to the guide’s excellent work, I had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed the beauty of the destination. I highly recommend this guide to all visitors and look forward to traveling with them again!

    We had a fantastic experience with Jay today in Chongqing. He showed us all the key sights and gave us excellent advice throughout the day. His recommendations for nightlife, the best viewpoints, and where to watch the drone shows were especially helpful. Jay was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept a great sense of humour throughout, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to him, we saw far more of the city than we ever would have managed on our own. We’re really grateful for such a well-organised and insightful tour - thank you very much, Jay!

    Had a great day tour of this mind boggling city. Our local guide John ensured we visited all the places of interest. Would definitely recommend him.

    Amazing day!

    Jamylle_A, Feb 2026
    I had such a blast of a day getting to know Chongqing and its hidden, beautiful scenery spots! From the very interesting Liziba Station train entering into what it looks like a residential building, to the boom of lights that you find when the night arrives in this frenetic city! I could not forget to mention that all of this amazing experience was also thanks to my amazing tour guide, who was very kind, patient (took me a thousand photos in every spot haha) and knowledgeable, teaching me about the city, local Chinese culture, habits, and some Sichuan dialect as well. He made my dream daytour in Chongqing come true! Thanks as well to the driver, who took us to all of the spots very efficiently, even facing the tough traffic during the Chinese Lunar New Year. I could not recommend this daytrip more! 🤩🇨🇳

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Apesar dos desníveis há razões para sorrir!

    Margarida_P, Aug 2026
    Ficámos a perceber porque Chongqing se chama a Cidade das Montanhas, sempre acompanhadas pela Nancy, uma guia extraordinária pela sua atitude de trabalho e pela sua simpatia. Inexcedível pela sua vontade de fazer o que era melhor para nós, com um sorriso sempre no rosto! Merece muito a pena!
