Yedu Full-Custom Chongqing Day Tour

from €65.00

One day, zero fixed stops, built entirely around whoever's coming.

This city rarely goes where a map says it should, so neither do we. Tell us who's coming, what you're curious about, and how much walking anyone's actually up for, and we'll shape the day around that, staircase by staircase, teahouse by teahouse. Same Chongqing we've spent years figuring out, just arranged for nobody but you.

“really appreciate the effort you took to curate and ensure the planned itinerary is suited for us all.

a shame our trip together is so short, but now that we know,we'll definitely reach out again next time we're back!”

  • Shiqi navigated us expertly through the city, taking us to places we would have never stumbled upon on our own. I was especially impressed by the scope of the city we were able to experience.

    — Sophie & Tom, US

  • Et si pour profiter pleinement de « Chongqing la sauvage » vous faisiez appel à quelqu’un qui l’a pratique et qui l’aime depuis son plus jeune âge ? C’est un bonheur de suivre Shiqi ne serait-ce qu’une journée, qui saura vous partager ses tips et vous faire partager sa ville loins des sentiers battus et des facilités des tiktokers. Go go go !

    — Vincent, Marie-Hélène et Domitille, France

  • I loved how this walk blended nature, local culture, history, and food all together so naturally. Shiqi made the experience even better with thoughtful guidance and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the walk.

    — Daniel & Yi, UK

  • Our walk with Yedu can be considered the highlight of our 6 days trip to Chongqing. Wandering off beaten lanes within Chongqing city centre and seeing old houses with stories among modern buildings/skyscrapers were mind-boggling!

    — Evon & Cindy, Malaysia

  • Shiqi guided us to places we definitely would not have found by ourselves, and we had great conversations about what it's like living in the city. We fully recommend Yedu to anyone wanting an authentic and personal local tour.

    — Tim, Germany

  • We had such a lovely time during the urban hike, now we learnt a lot about the Chongqing culture and way of living in a mega city. The urban places they showed us were beautiful and interesting. If you like walk it’s a must go. We booked a whole day and we loved it. We highly recommend.

We Don't Plan a Route, We Plan the Experience.

The table. Proper dishes for everyone at once, gentler flavors for the kids, softer textures for grandparents, the real heat and spice for whoever wants it. One group, one table, nobody eating a separate "safe" meal.

The pace. A teahouse or café built into the day on purpose, not a photo stop squeezed between two sights, somewhere to sit, let the tea get refilled, and let the morning settle before moving on.

The little ones. Playgrounds, rope swings, and stops picked because children would actually enjoy them, not just tag along while the adults do the real sightseeing.

The ride. Didi Premium on call for smaller groups, a private car and driver for bigger ones, everything arranged before you land, whichever fits your group. Nobody in the group is figuring out how to get to the next stop.

What's left after. The views blur eventually. The laughter shared over a hot pot, a teahouse, a swing in an old courtyard, that doesn't. We plan the sights, your stories unfold on their own.

This is what we built for one family of eight this August, three generations, grandparents who needed less walking, kids who needed more play, and a trip everyone could actually enjoy together

How to book:

Please contact us before booking to confirm your date. We take on a small number of custom trips each month, so every day gets the full planning it needs.

Step 1. Reach out with your dates, group size, and anything that matters to how the day should go:

Step 2. We'll come back with a first draft of your day, plus a quote based on your group size, usually within 24 hours.

Step 3. Paying the deposit on this site confirms your dates. The remaining balance, along with any tickets or vehicle upgrades, is due before or on the day.

Response time: within 24 hours, usually faster.

Especially good for:

  • A multi-generational family where grandparents need less walking and kids need more play.

  • Someone who wants to see Chongqing's essentials without rushing between them, more time to sit with a view or finish a cup of tea, less time on your feet getting there.

  • Someone who's been to Chongqing before and wants the parts most people don't see.

  • A tight one-day layover where every hour needs to count.

  • A specific interest (architecture, food, art, a particular neighborhood) that a fixed route can't go deep enough on.

About Yedu

Yedu was founded by Shiqi Wang, born in Chongqing, ten years between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Paris before moving home. Every custom day is designed by her and the team carefully. For larger or multi-generational groups, Yedu will provide double guides along so no one is ever rushed or left behind.

Guiding available in Mandarin,Cantonese, English, French, and Spanish.

FAQs

We don't actually know what we want to see yet, is that a problem?

1

Not at all, most groups start there. Tell us who's coming and roughly what kind of day you're after, relaxed, adventurous, history-heavy, and we'll bring you a first draft to react to.


How far ahead should we book?

2

At least two weeks, ideally more if your dates fall in peak season (late spring, autumn, or around Chinese holidays), since any ticketed experiences or vehicle upgrades need lead time.

6

Can the route still change once we're in Chongqing?

3

Within reason, yes, that's part of what you're paying for. Major changes may need a second round of planning (¥300), but adjusting pace or swapping a stop on the day itself is normal and expected.

What languages do you guide in?

4

How physically demanding is this?

What's your cancellation policy?

English, French, Spanish, Cantonese, or Mandarin, or a mix. Let us know when you reach out.


Entirely up to what you tell us. We've designed days with almost no walking for groups with limited mobility, and days with real hiking for groups who want it, this is the one product where the pace is actually yours to set.


What if it rains?

How does payment work?

We adjust the route toward covered or indoor stops rather than cancel outright. For anything more serious, we'll be in touch before the day to replan.


A 20% deposit on this website confirms your date once we've agreed on group size. The remaining balance, plus any ticket costs or vehicle upgrades, is due on the day. We accept WeChat Pay, Alipay, Stripe, bank transfer, or cash.


Deposits are non-refundable except documented emergencies. You may reschedule once, free of charge, to any available date within three months, as long as you let us know at least 48 hours before the day.
