I took this tour first thing after arriving at Chengdu and it did not disappoint! We went to try various local delicacies and Li shared some history and fun facts about the city as we walked along. It was a great introduction to Chengdu.

Had an awesome time exploring Chengdu together with Siri! Tried some local food in a cozy street market, had fun riding the bike in the city and saw some of Chengdu’s most famous landmarks. 10/10 would recommend taking this tour.

Where to begin. I consider myself lucky: due to last-minute cancellations, this tour became a private one. That suits me well, as it makes it easier to engage directly with the guide, and it seemed to suit Yuan too. Yuan is a professional and knowledgeable guide, and her friendly, relaxed manner was a good fit for this kind of tour. She communicated well beforehand, letting me know the tour would be private and making sure we could find each other at the meeting point. The tour itself was fascinating, and she showed me many spots I would surely have missed as a tourist, such as the Tang-Song dynasty street ruins beneath IFS. She wove Chengdu's history together with anecdotes from her own life, which made it feel personal rather than like information lifted from a Wikipedia article. I also enjoyed the route and timing, which blended the city's history with its contemporary side and nightlife. The best part was that Yuan was clearly passionate about the city and wanted me to share that passion, without ever being pushy. She helped me interact with other locals and showed genuine interest in my story and where I come from. This gave me a wonderful impression of Chengdu and its people. Afterwards she followed up to make sure I felt settled in the city and offered to help with any questions. As you can probably tell, I give this tour and Yuan the highest rating possible. It became a memorable moment not just of my time in Chengdu, but of my whole trip to China. The only negative is entirely my own doing: my visit was too short to join Yuan's other tours, which I'm sure are just as good. I'm definitely excited to come back, and next time I promise I'll sing karaoke by the riverside!

The tour with Yuan was excellent. The route was interesting and included a mix of historic and modern sites, with some excellent photo opportunities such as the giant panda climbing the IFS building roof. Yuan has a wide knowledge of Chengdu and included all kinds of facts that I simply wouldn't have known if I'd walked the area on my own. She even included a stop for some sticky sesame rice balls - a delicious Chengdu favourite!

We absolutely loved our tour in Chengdu. We love food and this tour allowed us to discover a typical neighborhood market and try out different varieties of food, all delicious and then Haoqi our tour guide introduced us to a temple and a tea ceremony, where we got to discover the cultural and spiritual side of the town. Haoqi was also very knowledgeable about the city and ready to answer all our questions. Truly recommended!

Really enjoyed this tour! Jade was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the walk feel relaxed and easy to follow. I especially liked how she mixed the history of Chengdu with little local stories and details that made the city feel much more alive. The route was well planned and covered some of the most interesting parts of the old city without feeling rushed. It was a great introduction to Chengdu and helped me understand the city beyond just the food and pandas. And a funny coincidence — my name is Jade too, so meeting another Jade in Chengdu made the experience even more memorable. 😄 Definitely recommend this tour if you want to get a good feel for Chengdu’s history, culture, and local atmosphere.

Yuan es una guía muy preparada y con un trato cálido. Nos explicó la cultura de Chengdu, su ritmo de vida y por qué es tan distinta al resto de China. Muy puntual en el punto de encuentro y muy clara en sus explicaciones. Un tour que te deja con ganas de quedarte más días en la ciudad. Nos compartió, de igual manera, muchos datos curiosos y nos enseñó a ver la vida común local. Amé este tour. Puedo decir que fue uno de mis favoritos de todo el viaje.

Jade is an amazing guide. She was the perfect choice to know more about Chengdu and China! She is completely open to different questions and knows a lot about the history of both the city and the country! She is an amazing guide and stayed with us for way longer that the expected time. Covering geography, food, religion, ancient dynasties, romance, recent history and fashion, this tour is a must go for anyone looking for the best in Chengdu and China!

I booked this tour because I wanted to learn more about everyday life in Chengdu, especially the local food and culture, and I had such a fantastic experience! Chang was an amazing guide she was so friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely excited to share Chengdu with me. She took me through a very local market, introduced me to so many different foods, and explained how they’re traditionally eaten and some of the customs behind them. We also visited a Taoist temple and she shared so much about the history, traditions, and culture, which made the experience feel much more meaningful than simply sightseeing. Chang went above and beyond to make the tour enjoyable and informative. I would absolutely recommend this tour and Chang as your guide, especially for anyone interested in experiencing Chengdu’s food, history, and culture.

Such an awesome way to see Chengdu at night! We had great views around the city and saw so many of the best sights all lit up. It was lovely to meet Yuan and the other people on the tour. The small group made it feel really personal and easy to chat. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to explore Chengdu's night sights!

Ci siamo trovati benissimo con Siri! Ho apprezzato molto sia il fatto che abbia confermato il tour anche se eravamo gli unici due partecipanti sia il fatto che ci abbia lasciato totale possibilità di scelta se fare il tour o meno visto che il tempo non era bello. Siri parla un ottimo inglese ed è stato molto gentile e professionale. Il tour si è svolto assolutamente come da descrizione. Consigliatissimo!
