A welcome with a beautiful smile
We had Christine as our guide, from the time of pick up her warm smile and her welcoming nature was so refreshing after our last guide. It was a pity we had her only for a short time. She listened never promising, however doing her best to deliver the best out come, to our changing needs. She made sure our onward journey was going to be comfortable. We thank you for taking care of our group.

Albert is true 5 stars
This tour was fantastic all due to Albert. He was very accommodating and very professional and not boring. He was generally for our best interest and navigated curve balls so well. You generally wants to make sure you have a great time. Can't recommend this to enough and Albert even more

Chongqing highlights within 7.5 hours in comfort and style
Jessmine and our driver where fabulous! The 7.5 hour tour was delightful and we were whisked from location to location with ease and the car was waiting whenever we had completed a visit. We determined how long we were going to stay at any location. Jessmine was personable, professional and fun. She made the experience enjoyable and so comfortable for us. The driver was great and delivered us to every location in a safe manner abd he knew his way around Chongqing. Jessmine's English was very good. I'd highly recommend this tour. My friend and I would never have covered so many sights, in such comfort, within 7.5 hours! The included lunch was brilliant as we got to choose what we wanted to eat and the quality of the food was great and very tasty.

I Loved Chongqin
The experience in Chongqin and Wulong was amazing, the sights, the food and the people were incredible. Winnie was such an enthusiastic and wonderful guide she made me feel excited to be visiting her city. Wulong is a place you should not miss to visit, very close to Chongqin and with amazing views.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chongqing.
How much does Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chongqing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chongqing is not rushed.
Is Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chongqing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chongqing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chongqing and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Customized Tour: Chongqing City Highlights in One Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chongqing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chongqing?
+
On Outty we rank every Chongqing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chongqing Wulong National Park Private Tour, Premium Chongqing Private Tours: Highlights, Night View or Cruise, Chongqing 8D Mountain City Full Day Join In Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chongqing?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chongqing?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
