Free walking tours in Chongqing

Andrew was a wonderful tour guide, who accommodated our short 2 hour window to see as much of Chongqing as we could. Andrew met us right on time, and we immediately hit it off. We visited a number of historical places and he spoke confidently about the history and culture of Chongqing, happily answering our questions. Considering the time crunch, we saw a lot and we're so glad we decided to do this tour with Andrew. He was knowledgable, kind, approachable and was even nice enough to escort us to our next destination to ensure we made it on time (which was tricky to find). Highly recommend Andrew!

I've done many free tours from Guruwalk and other companies and this was by far the best free tour I've ever experienced. Lisa and Gaga were very enthusiastic and patient and happy to take photos of us along the way. The route we walked was very beautiful and we wouldn't have found it if we weren't with locals. We went up a mountain and entered a temple where we did a taoist fortune telling ritual. So I can really recommend this or another tour from Lisa and Gaga!

We had a fantastic tour with Andrew! I was with my elderly parents, and Andrew tailored it to please us all. He is so kind, nice, entertaining and professionnal, also very fluent in Cantonese and English, that made the communication comfortable and fluid. He was also very caring towards my old parents, specially my mum appreciated this attention a lot because for once, someone explained everything to her and she could talk for hours 😅. The tour was full of little surprises, gems and interesting stories of this exciting and so beautiful city! We fell in love with this vibrant city and Andrew was one of the reason. I was happy to not let myself be influenced by the last negative comment on him, because this person complained about the prices fixed by Andrew, but hey, do you really think someone has several hours to spend for free and you could just tip like Little pennies? And i couldnt find this low price anywhere. The average price is at least 150 USD just for 1 person for 5 hours, not 650 yuans (89usd) for the whole Group. So i highly recommend Andrew, you will not be disappointed!! 👍✨👌

Andrew fue un gran anfitrión en el tour de Chongqing, nos llevó a los lugares más relevantes y nos explicó anécdotas e historia de los sitios que visitamos. Sin duda lo recomiendo al 100%

Andrews tour was informative, interesting and fun. He took us to some of the more popular spots and also some "off the beaten track" places which he tailored for the benefit of the group. Highly recommended.

Thank you Chris! Great Experience visiting The City with you!!!

Changchun is a chonqching lover that will tour you around for some nice places and will share with you interesting facts about the city

Excelente

We had a wonderful time exploring Chongqing with our guide, Andrew. He shared with us the rich history of the city while also taking us to some hidden gems we would have never found on our own. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable, but also very fun and easy-going, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him if you want to discover Chongqing in a unique and memorable way!

Chris is very professional, knows very well the city and speaks english perfectly, he is always on time, he is friendly and helpful, you definitely should choose him as your guide!

Andrew was very nice. He even met us in the hotel lobby since we were the only ones on that day. It is not a free walking tour though. That being said. you can choose if you want to have a 3hr, 5hr or 7hr tour. we opted for a 5hr tour. we started at 3.5 PM and ended almost at 11PM. quite longer than we have anticipated. we ate in a traditional hotpot restaurant though. we paid also for the guide. we let us guide how to eat the hotpot in a traditional way. that was a really nice experience. I guess that is only fair to pay the guides food if the guide also extended the tour. Information-wise... i mean we went to few interesting spots. unfortunately, i couldnt remember a thing about the history.

Andrew is professional n punctual. He gave information to the sights we visited. We recommend him to other visitors coming to Chongqing.

Andrew was a a great guide! He showed o lot of history, interesting spots and shared food recommendations. If you want to know more about Chongqing dont miss this chance!

Lee Andrew is the kindest guide my husband and I have met during all our travels. He showed us the entire central part of Chongqing, sharing fascinating stories about the city’s history and how different places looked in the past. He even brought photos to help us imagine it all. We talked about the language, modern life in Chongqing, and much more. Andrew took us to unique city attractions like the famous train that passes through buildings, authentic hot pot restaurants, and hidden tunnels that preserve local traditions (I won’t spoil everything, but trust me — the tour is absolutely worth it!). He also gave us excellent tips on how to deepen our cultural experience with museums and helped us navigate both the complex metro system and the digital world in China. Chongqing is a truly impressive city, but it's far too complex for a self-guided walk if you don't understand Chinese — Andrew’s guidance made all the difference. We highly recommend his tours. If you’re visiting Chongqing, start with his walking tour!

We were glad we connected with Andrew on our short, two-day visit to Chonqing. We would have never been able to navigate the winding and vast streets of the city without his local knowledge. We learned a great deal about the city and its residents and were happy to see the local life with Andrew. A good experience overall

Chris ist einfach nur top. Der beste Guide, den wir uns für Chongqing wünschen konnten. Es war der chinesische Feiertag an dem der Toten gedacht wird. Ferien mit Massen von Menschen überall. Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe von fünf Teilnehmern und wollten authentisches China abseits der Touristenpfade. Und das bekamen wir. An verschiedenen Orten vermittelte uns Chris interessante Einblicke in Geschichte, Kultur und Politik. Zum krönenden Abschluss einigten wir uns auf ein gemeinsames Essen. Ein großartiger, unvergesslicher Tag. Vielen Dank an Chris, wir empfehlen ihn unbedingt weiter.

The tour was great as an introduction for the city. Very helpful to learn how to get around in the city by metro and visit iconic places in the city. He took us to the touristic and also the traditional places that are not touristic which I think is a great balance in a tour. It was fun and entertaining.

Andrew was chatty and informative but maybe more about the history

Andrew is a great guide, we enjoyed the walk with him. We took the 5 hours tour, but realistically you will probably only need 3. The first half of the tour was the quieter residential area which was nice, but without a story behind it, they were just buildings and we didn't get many specific stories, just the description of some places. The rest of the time was spent on the way to or in the busier, newer part, which was great and we would have loved to spend more time there. So we really loved the new Chongqing. As for Andrew, he understands English very well and knows a lot about the city, but a lot of it is general information that you might be able to find it online or in museums. Comparing this with tours we took in other countries, I believe this tour lacked a bit of personality, so there were not many stories about the life of regular people in the city or many information on why certain places were shown. I would still recommend taking the tour, as Andrew knows the city and it's easier for guidance, but it might not be needed to go over the 3 hours and maybe ask just for the newer city where the skyscrapers are.

Andrew is a really nice tour leader, he know a lot of things about Chongqing (wonderful city) we meet in liziba metro station and then start our tour. Was a really nice tour ✌🏻 I suggest to this tour for everyone that want to understand better this beautiful, unknown for foreigners people, city! Good Luck!

Chang was wonderful. Even before the tour began, he communicated effectively and gave us guidance about the airport, including where and when to reach according to our convenience. He took us around at a pace that all of us were comfortable with. He speaks very good English and is a local, so he knows a lot about the city and even has international knowledge. It was a pleasure meeting him, and thank you for showing us around.

I had a tour yesterday with Andrew, had a great time, a lot of information, nice conversations over all had a great time would always recommend 😄👌if I would come again o would do the tour again😊😄🙏

We had an enjoyable walking tour with Andrew - we saw many authentic places in Chongqing that we would have otherwise not been able to find, which was great. His English was sufficient but the quality and depth of historical information could have been deeper. Nonetheless, we had a good time seeing the authentic Chongqing.

I had a really good time during my tour. Andrew shared many very interesting insights about the history of Chongqing. He is really kind and we had a good conversation for the whole tour. Would highly recommend him for your visit to Chongqing.

A nice tour and nice insights through the old Chongqing, which we definetly would not have seen through our other plannings.
