Chongqing City Highlights - CityWalking Tour (local guide and public transpt)

We were a family of four and had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Chongqing City Highlights – City Walking Tour with Changchun. What really made this tour special was Changchun himself. He knows Chongqing incredibly well, not only the famous sights, but also all the great places that you would never find on your own. He knew exactly where to take us and, perhaps just as importantly, the right order in which to see everything. The whole day felt very well planned, with the perfect timing and route, so we got to experience the city at its best without wasting time. Changchun also gave us a fascinating insight into everyday life in China. He told us about Chinese culture, society and what it is actually like to live in China today. We asked lots of questions, and he was incredibly open, knowledgeable and happy to share his own perspective. This made the tour much more than just sightseeing, it gave us a real understanding of Chongqing and China. He was also fantastic with our family and made sure that both the adults and our children enjoyed the day. He was friendly, relaxed and genuinely seemed to enjoy showing us his city. We have travelled quite a lot, and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. If you are visiting Chongqing, we can highly recommend this tour and especially Changchun as your guide. His local knowledge, his sense of timing and his knowledge of all the best places made a huge difference. Thank you, Changchun, for an unforgettable day in Chongqing!

I had a wonderful experience with this guide. They were very kind, punctual, and spoke excellent English, making it easy to communicate throughout the tour. They shared a lot of interesting information and made the experience both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting the area!

I had 48 hours in Chongqing and I was so glad to have Chris as my guide for a day tour from 10:00- 16:00. He communicated efficiently and his English was excellent. We met near my hotel and started the walking tour to Kuixing Building, the famous IG photo spot. Chris explained the elevations of the city. We walked around and enjoyed the informative conversations during our walk. Next stop was Liziba Dangui Chuanlou Train platform, it was so crowded! Chris was my photographer and took shots of me with the train!!! After the hectic experience, it was lovely to enjoy quiet tranquility in E’Ling Park - this is the best place to view Chongqing City, but you will have to climbed up to the top of pagoda. They have street vendors and I enjoyed the fried sticky sesame snack balls on a stick. Next, we Didi to Liberation Monument. Originally built in 1941 to inspire resistance during WWII, it was renamed in 1950 to commemorate the city's liberation by the People's Liberation Army in late 1949. We took Didi to Ciqikou Ancient Town. It was about a 30 minute ride. It was vibrant and I enjoyed tasting little sample food bites and tea shots along the different street alleys! The folks are all so friendly. I invited Chris to join me for lunch and we enjoyed a spicy local dish (not for the faint of heart)and fresh veggie stir fry. Lastly to get a little relaxation, we chilled at Alley House, a cute tea/coffee shop. You must try the sugar cane and silver grass tea, so refreshing. Chris and I parted ways and I explored Ciqikou Ancient Town on my own and discovered many interesting nooks and grannies! The Chongqing 1949 theater was a 10 minute walk from old town. If you are a history buff, you should see the show. The rotating stage, high-tech lighting and the actors performance tells the story of the liberation of Chongqing. Thank you Chris for a most delightful day in Chongqing.

We had only one day to spend in Chongqing and wanted to see all the "must see" places without having to look for them by ourselves. Chris was the perfect guide for our day: he knows the city of Chongqing in and out, he is a nice person ... and flexible too. We can only recommend doing the tour with him.

Our guide Changchun (Chris) is very knowledgeable and friendly. We are very happy with his service and would highly recommend him.

Chris is fluent in english and has an interesting itinerary to offer which lasts approximatelly 5 hours. He gave us a lot of information for the city he is living in. It was a nice tour!
