Free Tours en Chongqing

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.

Chris created an itinerary that suited our needs. He was very helpful in answering any questions we had and showed us Chongqing from a local perspective.

He is a friendly and very helpful guide, we really appreciate that he was helping us through messages before, and even after the tour. I would recommend him to anyone who is coming to Chongqing, its a great way to start your China trip with a local guide who knows whats going on. :)

Andrew is flexible to start the tour at our hotel due to the low season. We like the heartland places we visited to experience local life. It will be better if we know more about Chongqing history and background.

He is so kind and good listener so he followed my requests and arranged the tour. His understanding and explanation of ChongQin city made me curious and know more about it. I will book him again to visit another place with him again.

If anyone is planning to visit Chongqing China I would highly recommend Andrew! He is professional, knowledgeable and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Andrew. He took us to see lots of entertaining and interesting sites in the city planning the perfect day for us. I must say he took very good care of us and gave us a very comprehensive and enjoyable overview of Chongqing!

Best way to see the crazy city of Chongquin!

Andrew was very-informed, personable guide. His English is impeccable and so much easier to understand than most Chinese guides. He comes from a wealth of experience with tourists on the cruise ships and lives locally with his extended family. We learned so much about China. He was very flexible, too, on when we actually started the tour since we needed a little bit of a delay due to sickness. After the tour, we took him to a perfect local hotpot restaurant to savor its wonders and then he took us to a quieter non-tourist spot in the city to see the night lights. Great guy !!!

We booked a private tour with Andrew as we only had a very short time in Chongqing. We couldn’t have made a better decision- Andrew went above and beyond showing us both local secrets like the markets and guiding us around the famous attractions such as the crown escalator and the incredible monorail. He is extremely friendly, chatty and open minded and he tailored the tour to what we wanted to see, providing historical context for each sight and adding in little detours he thought we would enjoy. The city is so dense and it would have been impossible for us to see half of what we saw without Andrew - however the highlight was Andrew’s positive and enthusiastic attitude, we really feel we left as friends. If you are a foreigner visiting Chongqing, we highly recommend booking a private tour with Andrew. You will not be disappointed! We hope to come back soon, thanks for everything Andrew! 🤗

Andrew gave us a very good tour of Chongqîng. He has an excellent knowledge of the city. We've visited some spots that would have never visited alone. He is a knowledgeable. I highly recommend! We ended up the tour eating spicy noodles in the local restaurants.

Increíble la experiencia del tour con Chris. Como ese día no había grupo, hicimos un grupo cerrado para 15 personas del grupo completo que viajábamos. Visitamos lo lugares más icónicos de Chonqing, una ciudad impresionante, única de verdad y con un caos muy divertido. A parte de la visita de los lugares nos los introdujo con datos y referencias. Nos movimos andando y en metro, muy recomendable para las largas distancias. A pesar del día lluvioso lo disfrutamos como niños. Por la tarde invitamos a Chris al concierto que daba nuestra orquesta en el auditorio de la viuda. Experiencia MUY TOP para recordar este día. Espero poder verle en el futuro si visita España o yo de vuelta a Chonqing. 🤘🤘🤘

This was an excellent tour from the onset. Very easily reachable to organise the itinerary and times. Chris also gave us suggestions on what we could see for the remainder of our time in Chongqing and kindly assisted us with booking! His english speaking is execeptional and this was a perfect way to start our trip here to understand the history and develop of the city!

Nice tour with some nice insights into China and Chongqing. We had a lot of questions and Chris was happy to answer them and explained us many thinks. Moreoever, he booked tickets for a ferry trip for us, which was rellay helpful.

Chris responded quickly before the tour and creatively accomodated for my needs (solo traveller). Would contact him again!

Chris tailored the tour to my interest in historic architecture and filled the time as we moved from location to location with information on the history and culture of Chongqing and its place in overall Chinese history. Thank you, Chris, for an excellent introduction to this interesting 8-D city.
