We recommend booking at least 5-7 days in advance to ensure your preferred dates are available and to allow time for your guide to prepare and confirm all logistical details. During peak seasons (holidays and summer), booking 2-3 weeks ahead is ideal. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings, so please contact us if you need a tour on short notice.

Yes, absolutely. Chongqing hotpot (our included lunch on Day 1) can be prepared vegetarian or with your preferred ingredients. Our guide can recommend vegetarian-friendly restaurants and food options throughout the tour.

The tour is designed to be enjoyable for most fitness levels. There is moderate walking with some stairs in Ciqikou Ancient Town and the pier for Yangtze River Evening Cruise and around the various attractions, but no strenuous hiking or climbing. Most of the tour involves sightseeing by private vehicle. If you have mobility concerns or specific physical limitations, please let us know when booking so your guide can adjust pacing or suggest alternative activities.

Discuss any preferences with your guide when you meet on Day 1.

Chongqing's weather can be unpredictable, especially during rainy season (May-September). The tour operates in most weather conditions — rain, light mist or cloud.

Always bring an umbrella and wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing.

Lunch on Day 1 (authentic Chongqing hotpot in an air-raid shelter) is included. On Day 2, we include visits to a local teahouse (where you can order Chongqing Xiaomian noodles) and time at Guanyinqiao Food Street where you can try local snacks and specialities(Self -paid). Your guide will make recommendations and help you navigate both the menu and the food scene based on your preferences.
