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!
We had the most incredible day exploring Chongqin with Journey by Jackson. The communication was always prompt and our guide Kayliegh was so amazimg she accommodated us so well with few addition on the tour. We enjoyed exploring Chonqin it really is a cyber punk 8D city. 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.
Kojima ist selbst in dieser Gegend aufgewachsen und hat uns diverse Spots und Bilder aus seiner Kindheit gezeigt. Dadurch hatten wir viele Insights, die wir sonst auf einer kommerzielleren Tour nicht gehabt hätten. Wir würden die Tour auf jeden Fall empfehlen!
I had an amazing experience of combining the night tour with the professional photography option and I couldn’t recommend it more! Jackson made it such a fun and worthwhile tour!
I don’t even know where to start with this tour. It was one of the most amazing days of my life and I have nothing but good things to say. My tour guide Kojima is a very smart and knowledgeable man who grew up here in Chongqing. He is also a photographer with professional equipment which made my pictures pop.
He took me through the cyberpunk vertical city, to the monorail building, an amazing noodle shop for lunch, to a brightly lit mall, through Mountain City and where he grew up, to the river banks, and a few more locations for viewing that we keep secret so they don’t get ruined by other tourists.
His English is perfect, his knowledge is vast, and we used his car to get from place to place in comfort. Every stop we made was exciting, personalized, accessible etc. He even brought me back to my hotel mid tour so I could change clothes after a hit afternoon walk.
I also had the opportunity to meet Jackson, and he is a true gentleman with a vast knowledge of the city and photography.
This tour was the best and most memorable of my life. If you’re reading this review and have any doubts about taking this tour take this as a sign to book your tour right now. I’m still in shock at how amazing the tour was as I go back through my phone looking at the amazing pictures Kojima took of me all over the city during the day and period
I give this tour five huge stars and will be back to do another tour very soon. Thank you Jackson and Kojima!!!!!
Great and complete tour of Chongqing. Listening, our guide was amazing. Giving always hood information and helping us every moment. Ghe Van they arrange for us was very nice and clean. The tour is so complete and long that we had a rest in the afternokn at the hotel before being pickup again for going to watch the hingya cave ilumination at sunrise.
I will definitly recomend ghis tour.
We spent an amazing day with Kojima. He shared with us his love for chongqing and showed us great secret spots
We had an excellent experience exploring Chongqing with Daisy. She was extremely knowledgeable, warm, and a pleasure to spend the day with.
Chongqing is an impressive city of dramatic mountains, rivers, and a striking skyline. This tour went beyond typical tourist spots, letting us understand its layered urban structure, transport systems, and how the city truly functions.
Daisy helped us see Chongqing as a living, complex environment shaped by geography and people, while sharing insights into local life and culture.
Her enthusiasm and humour made the day both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper, more authentic understanding of Chongqing.
We had an absolutely fantastic time with Journey with Jackson in Chongqing. Our guide, Kojima, was outstanding.
From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome with his friendly personality, great sense of humour, and personal approach. What made this tour truly unique was that he shared old photos and videos of Chongqing from his own childhood and showed us how those same places have changed over the years. It gave the city a completely different perspective and made the experience feel authentic and personal rather than just another sightseeing tour.
He took us to many fascinating places, including hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. The tour felt local, individual, and far away from the typical tourist routes. He was easy to understand, approachable, and always happy to answer our questions. Our children enjoyed the tour just as much as we did, which says a lot.
Although the famous drone show was unfortunately cancelled that evening, it certainly didn’t spoil the experience. We had an amazing time in Chongqing and this tour was one of the highlights of our trip.
If you want to discover Chongqing in a genuine, non-touristy way with someone who truly loves and knows the city, we can wholeheartedly recommend Journey with Jackson—and especially Kojima!
One of the best days of my life!
Our tour guide was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. She was always helpful, well organized, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Highly recommended!
Listening was very good tour guide she was patient with us and active
We had a wonderful time with Daisy – it was like going out with a friend and the time passed very quickly on the 8-hour tour of Chongqing.
She looked after us very well and even bought some zongzi for us to enjoy as part of the Dragon Boat Festival. It was an eye opening immersion tour of Chongqing seen through the eyes of a local which is revealing and rich.
Daisy has a bubbly personality, making the tour lively. She took us to a secretly tucked away restaurant for a local hotpot lunch. It was not only delicious but a great experience to eat like a true local. Her pink Tesla was very comfortable and we liked the experiencing the self-driving mode.
Thank you Daisy and we wish you great success with your unique Chongqing immersion tour!
We went on a full-day tour yesterday in Chongqing with Kojima as our guide. It was detailed and personal, and we could really feel his genuine love for his city. He was easygoing and fun to spend the day with, and we got to see so much. We had a great day and would happily recommend him and this tour to anyone visiting Chongqing.
We had a great day in Chongqing with Kojima. It felt like visiting the city with a friend. We enjoyed visiting the viral sights, good food, and a shared interest in the world cup! 😁 Without the tour we wouldn’t have seen half as much. Kojima and Jackson also gave us great suggestions for things to do the evening before the tour. Highly recommend!!
Kayleigh is such a cool and very kind person. She showed us all of the cool spots in Chongqing and told us many interesting facts about the life there. I highly recommend to tour to everyone who wants to learn more about the city from a local. She also gave us great tips for our stay. ☺️
What an amazing experience! And the trip organization was top notch!!!! Loved everything! The Wulong Park is now number 1 on my best destinations list. Big, big Thanks to Jackson for arranging the tickets and the car and for making sure that we are happy with everything! Thank you so much!!!!
After researching Chongqing, I realized its complex layout would be impossible to navigate on our own. Luckily, we found Davud’s tour with Jackson through Youtube, which turned out to be the perfect choice for us! Our guide, Kayleigh, was absolutely amazing—so much fun to hang out with and packed with incredible local insights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chongqing. Thank you, Kayleigh!!
Kayleigh exudes both professionalism and knowledge. She is passionate about her home and you feel that passion throughout the trip. She is truly a great guide and person. I only had a couple hours of sleep after a late flight but it didn’t feel like it during this tour. It felt like going out for the day with a good friend. She’s attentive, respectful and knows all the best food spots. I went from being a picky eater to a foodie haha I expected a typical guide experience and made a friend.
Jackson was also very kind, helpful and professional when setting this tour up. The care for this company truly shows. Highly recommend!
