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!
We can highly recommend this tour! The contact with Jackson was very straightforward, he took our special requests into account and took care of everything! The drive to 816 project and Wulong National Park was also very pleasant with the driver and well planned, so we had a very nice memorable day!
Listening was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and fun. Anyone would be lucky to be shown around Chongqing by Listening. We had a great time. 5*
Great guide. Loved every second of the tour. Kayleigh is the most charming person ever and we can’t wait to come back to chongqing in the future, just to go on another adventure with her.
We had an absolutely fantastic full-day tour of Chongqing with Daisy and Christine.
From the moment we were picked up in their beautiful and comfortable car, they made us feel completely at ease. Traveling with an 8-year-old can sometimes be challenging, but Daisy and Christine were incredibly thoughtful and patient, always making sure my daughter was comfortable and enjoying herself throughout the day.
What made this tour special was the perfect balance between seeing Chongqing’s iconic sights and experiencing local life. Daisy shared fascinating insights into Chinese culture, traditions, and everyday life, helping us understand the city on a much deeper level than we could have on our own. We also had the chance to try authentic Chongqing hotpot, which was a real highlight.
More than a typical guided tour, the whole day felt like exploring the city with good friends. We drank coffee together, enjoyed lunch, took plenty of photos, shared lots of laughs, and discovered both famous landmarks and hidden local gems.
A huge thank you to Daisy and Christine for such a memorable experience. If you’re visiting Chongqing and want a genuine, personal, and enjoyable way to explore the city, I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I will definitely book with them again on my next visit.
Our 2 days in Chongqing was nothing less than amazing. The Hospitality and attentiveness from Listening and driver Kang Kang was 5 star. Listening was like a story teller when she explained the history of Chongqing, never a dull moment. Her warm, kind and genuine nature towards our group of 7 especially to my 8 year old was truly appreciated by all of us. It’s almost like having an old friend with us. Kang Kang was a careful driver and his car was top notch. Very clean and spacious. We will definitely come back again and request for Listening as our guide.
Kayleigh was a great tour guide. She picked us up from our hotel and took us to some of the coolest places in Chongqing, places we would never have been able to find on our own.
She made the tour fun and shared so much about the city while answering all of our questions. The time flew by and it honestly felt like we were exploring the city with a friend rather than being on a guided tour.
I would 100% recommend her and this tour.
We had the BEST time on our day tour with Daisy, she went over and beyond to make sure we got to see Chong Qing. I have an allergy to certain food and she made sure I was accommodated and comfortable with everything we ate (plus everything was soooo good). Her pink tesla that she drove us around in was a life saver not only for our feet but also because we got to hit every part of the city, north, south, and central. Would definitely recommend booking a tour as it gave us an opportunity to experience so much on our short stay here. Thank you Daisy, aswell as Jackson for making it so easy for us.
Realmente 100% recomendable. Tina, una guía turística, fabulosa!!!. Muy atenta , muy amable y explicando cada detalle de todas las visitas que hicimos. Muchas gracias por todo !!!. Recomendaremos, sin duda.
We had an exceptional tour. Listening is a great tour guide and I can’t recommend her enough.
If you have limited time in Chongqing, we would absolutely recommend doing the tour.
Listening took us to places we would have not known about and that was not on google maps. She also introduced us to new dishes we would not have thought to try if it hadn’t been for her recommendation.
We also enjoyed her telling us about the history of different places, my husband loves history and he really appreciated this! It was great to have an understanding of history from a Chinese perspective as opposed to a Western one 🙂 I also loved the fact that she took the time to show us local perfume shops and other more contemporary places. I got a few souvenirs that I’ll cherish.
We enjoyed the pace of the tour. We loved walking but liked that it was broken up with a bit of driving as well. It was very fun to drive on some of the very high expressways and then get even higher by walking up a pagoda on a hill.
Overall, it’s a great experience to have been shown around the city by a local!
We had an absolutely amazing tour in Chongqing with Jackson, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire China trip. He took us to incredible hidden spots that we never would have found on our own, and the whole experience felt authentic, fun, and really thoughtfully planned.
What made it even more special was that Jackson himself — the owner of the tour company — came personally to guide us, which we truly appreciated. He was so kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about showing people the real Chongqing.
If you’re visiting Chongqing and want more than just the typical tourist experience, I genuinely can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Jackson, for such a memorable day!
We are a group of 7 visiting from Singapore and have selecred Jackson’s company for a private customized tour. Firstly, communicating with jackson was easy and all we had to do was tell him the dates and places of interest and he does all the heavy lifting. Given that he has a substantial amount of followers on tiktok also great boosted the trust that we had. The whole process leading up to the actual tour was fuss free!
During the actual tour itself, we had Kang as our driver and Listening as our main guide for 5 days. There were a few hiccups with my family on the first day that caused everyone a little distress, but I would like to give extra thanks to Listening for being so professional, patient and having empathy towards the elderly in my group. There’s too many plus points but some noticeable moments include her holding my mums hands up and down stairs when it rained, her helping my wife and I to find halal food, and her trying her best to manage the time (as my family has 0 time management). We liked her so much that we requested her to join us for dinner on most days!
I’d also like to mention Kang – who was our driver. He was exceptional as he had gone above and beyond. Knowing how difficult my dad is, he took it in himself to try and help manage my dad too by talking to him, showing him around etc. He too had so much patience like Listening and we were very happy to have him as our driver.
Another mention is Mia, who was our guide for half a day for the Dazu rock carvings. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about this area and was very clear and professional in her explanations on the history. We have learned alot in just that half a day and would like to thank her!
Finally, Jackson led the tour on our last day. Though we did nothing much, Jackson still showed us to some spots and explained to us a little history of areas and was very flexible in the day’s itinerary since it was our last day, he didn’t want us to rush and just do what we wanted to (I.e shopping).
Overall , the trip was exceptional and price was reasonable. We will definitely be back and will definitely choose Journey With Jackson again!
Visite avec Kojima on s’est régalé du début à la fin. Journée complète avec lui en voiture pour gagner du temps et itinéraire très bien ficelé 👍 on a vu tout ce qu’on voulait voir et le soir on a même pu profiter du drone show avec une place loin de la foule, on recommande et merci encore Kojima 👍👍
Kojima was a fantastic tour guide and made the day trip very enjoyable. He was flexible with the itinerary, happy to adapt to our preferences, and ensured we visited all the key spots. He was friendly and easy to talk to throughout the drive, which made the experience feel relaxed and personalised. We also really appreciated the photos he took for us during the tour. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend him for a private day tour.
The tour with Kayleigh was so wonderful and engaging that I barely felt tired, even after climbing all those maze stairs. It honestly felt like strolling around with a knowledgable friend in their hometown — super chill, insightful, and definitely not something you could learn on your own. Highly recommend!!
Kojima went the extra mile to take us on an amazing and exciting tour. He took the time to get to know us and modified the tour to fully be in line with our interests, taking us to lots of special spots and many hidden gems to avoid the crowds. He also took wonderful photos of us, took us to a great lunch restaurant, helped us buy some items we needed and was very patient. We didn’t feel rushed and it wasn’t too slow either, we would highly recommend this tour.
We had an awesome 2 days with Kojima, doing the City and Mountain tours. We were especially honoured he was able to take the time between his busy game development studio plans to show us around Chongqing! He was supremely knowledgeable, showing us around to restaurants, shortcuts, and sights just like a local. He even planned out hidden ‘Easter eggs’ for us! But seriously he was patient, flexible and friendly, showing us around and sharing pictures/videos like we were visiting an old friend. We definitely made some great memories here and couldn’t recommend it highly enough for anyone else!
Great one day tour for those who don’t have much time in Chongqing and want to see the highlights! Listening is very knowledgeable about the city and we enjoyed our conversations with her. She’s also very loving and patient with our young kids.
Alright, I’m not one to usually write long detailed reviews about much but this was needed. From the moment I reached out to Jackson thru Instagram and then WhatsApp – he was very understanding of our requirements as we eat only halal and have a 6 month old. We also requested for photos to be taken and he suggested Kojima to be our guide. It was overall a very smooth process talking to Jackson. Now onto Kojima – he picked us up from our hotel, gave us a little skyline lessons of Chongqing with a few jokes about the Trump Towers haha! He drove us around to all the must see spots as he knew we had a 6 month old with us, so traveling with a stroller and using a carrier when convenient was a nice touch from him. He took us to this awesome coffee shop near the “boardwalk” which was great. In between all the scenic spots he suggested we watch the drone show from a specific sushi restaurant he knew about. He made the reservation for us which was amazing because let me tell you, the view from that restaurant was ridiculously amazing. I’ll share some photos here. We ended the night with Kojimas secret rooftop spot which was a great touch. What an amazing way to end the night. I just can’t emphasize enough how kind and understanding Kojima was towards our 6 month old. He helped us with our strollers, diaper changes and much more. I can’t recommend him enough. He knew we weren’t trying to walk much and avoid the busy crowd during golden week so he took us to all the right spots to be able to see the scenery without being in the crowd. Hongya Cave, Liziba station, Crown Escalator and much more we were able to view without being in the crowd of thousands. Thank you so much for this. We wouldn’t be able to enjoy Chongqing at all without Kojima and Jackson’s help.
The tour was amazing! Listening is a very kind and knowledgeable guide. She tries to giv you the best experience in the city. I visited during the Golden Week, which means the city was very busy. Despite that, Listening created an amazing experience showing the best that Chongqing has to offer.
