The Cyber City in a Day Tour was absolutely incredible, and a huge part of that was our guide, Kojima, an absolute legend! He didn’t make us feel like tourists at all! He showed us Chongqing like a local and took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. We ended up spending the day together until 00:30, even having hotpot together!

Another huge plus is that Kojima is also an amazing photographer and videographer. He took some incredible photos and videos of us throughout the day, which made the experience even more special.

It genuinely felt less like a tour and more like a friend showing us around his city. An unforgettable experience, me and my wife highly recommend it!

This city is phenomonal should be on everyone travel bucketlist we are so happy we were able to see so much in a day with Kaylleight Thank you so much we reallyed enjoyed her company. If you are visiting Chomgqin do this tour with Jackson as this city does require a guide as it is hilly and multi level roads.

My private tour with the wonderful tour guide Listening was better than I could ever have imagined! I gained a brilliant insight into Chongqing as a city, its history, culture and people. I felt completely comfortable at all times and, for those nearly 10 hours, I forgot I was even a tourist, I cant recommend this highly enough!!! Also I was able to book the tour at very short notice, which was only possible thanks to the simple, smooth and quick communication with Jackson and his team.
