Chongqing

Several hours cruising the Yangtze River and Jialing River, enjoying the beautiful night view of Chongqing city with its lights.

my flights were cancelled. the tourguide is really nice and responsive... will come back to chongqing and rebook this ❤️

The local tour operator provides contact information in advance and sends detailed meeting information the day before, which is clear and easy to understand. They are also very quick to respond to any questions. Our tour guide, Ahao, was very patient, providing information about the scenic spots in the vehicle, making it easy to explore with a map. However, because it was the off-season, some walking paths were closed, so we had to adapt to the situation on the ground. The Tibetan Mystery Show was inexpensive and the performance was excellent, making it worth attending. Group meals are served family-style, and many group members don't have the concept of using serving chopsticks or spoons. It is recommended to proactively ask everyone to cooperate before eating, otherwise everyone's chopsticks will be stirring in the hot pot. Also, there are many Chinese group members, and there is a high probability that they will forcibly instill unified ideology during meals, so be prepared.

Interesting tour for those interested in history. There are steps/stairs involved, therefore wear layers (light clothing) and comfortable shoes. No English spoken on the standard tour, but you can search information beforehand or read the plaques.

The unified meeting point is convenient, and the tour company will communicate with the tourist group in advance to establish communication channels. The tour guide will also inquire about the meeting point and travel matters in advance. When boarding the bus, the attractions and optional activities will be introduced, but there is no strong pressure to purchase them. This time, our guide, Mr. Shen, was very responsible and sent text messages to tourists regarding attractions, precautions, and photography tips. The meals were typical group meals and were acceptable. The accommodation platform upgraded our stay to a large resort room with electric heating beds, which was great value. The only slight shortcoming was that the transportation bus was relatively old and the seats were small, but the driver was very stable. The attractions were well-arranged, but the Tian Sheng San Qiao (Three Natural Bridges) and Longshui Gorge Crevice scenic areas are similar, both requiring continuous walking down stairs, so those who are not physically fit should consider this. The Wujiang River boat trip was comfortable and the scenery was beautiful, like a landscape painting.

Joining the trip was seamless, even though I was the only foreigner participating. The guide made an effort to communicate using WeChat, making communication possible. The tour program was good, and the timing of visiting different locations was well-organized, such as the morning boat trip to see the sunrise. The other tour members were also kind and helpful, even though communication was a bit challenging... I was impressed with this tour.

I had a wonderful time on my Chongqing tour! The scenery was breathtaking, and our guide, Xiao Qin, was outstanding—responsible, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared fascinating stories and insights about every attraction we visited. My only minor feedback is that the pace felt a bit rushed, especially during meal times. In Chiyou City, I wish she could have arranged for my parents to explore the shopping and food street while we joined the guided tour (which involved more walking), instead of waiting on the bus. Overall, I highly recommend Xiao Qin for her professionalism, thoughtfulness, and excellent service! This Chongqing trip left a deep impression on me! The scenery was very beautiful, and our guide, Xiao Qin, was also great—responsible, attentive, and knowledgeable. She told many interesting stories that made the trip even more exciting. The only thing is that the itinerary felt a bit rushed, especially at mealtimes. On the day we visited Chiyou Jiuli City, it would have been better if she could have arranged for my parents to browse the pedestrian street, eat snacks, and buy souvenirs instead of waiting on the bus while we participated in the walking tour. In general, I recommend Xiao Qin as a tour guide. She is professional and considerate, making this trip unforgettable!

The Wujiangzhai is surprisingly nice especially during night time, there is so many good foods in the village to our surprise. The day trip to the cave is superb though is tiring. worth the effort climbing up and down throughout the rocky paths. fully recommended.

Hassle free tour, picked up by our driver, 徐 at our hotel doorstep. Throughout the tour, he is helpful and drove safely. Even though he is not a guide, he gave us a brief info on the Chongqing city and the places that we visited. A hassle free and comfortable tour! Really enjoyed our 2 Days 1 Night. The scenery is really beautiful!
