Hi, I’m Cade, a local guide based in Chengdu. If you’re planning a trip to China and feel a bit confused about how things work here - don’t worry, that’s exactly where I come in. I help travelers explore Chengdu (and beyond) in a simple and relaxed way. No complicated plans, no rushing around - just a smooth trip where everything actually works. - Want to see the pandas without wasting half your day in queues? - Need help figuring out trains, tickets, or how to get around? - Or just prefer having someone local to make things easier? That’s basically what I do. Most of my guests are not looking for a “tour guide with a flag”, but someone who can: - plan your route properly and make the most of your time - help you avoid common travel problems and tourist traps - stay away from overly crowded tourist spots when possible - experience the real local culture, not just the surface - keep everything transparent with no hidden costs - make the whole trip feel easy and smooth I’m flexible with plans, so whether you already have an idea or have no clue where to start, we can figure it out together. Just send me a message and tell me what you’re thinking.

Chengdu Tour Reviews
Dennis S.
“10 days in Chengdu and Ya’an for pandas”
Amy is the greatest guide ever. She put together a 10 day itinerary based on my interests and worked with me to get it just right. Then as a guide she was wonderful.we always went at my pace. I had a bit of a cold so we always went at a slow pace. And she took me to the pharmacy for meds. I was interested in Sichuan food (who isn’t). She took me to wonderful places that were not tourist spots but popular with the locals . Above all, Amy is a terrific person and I consider her a friend for life. If you go to Chengdu, you should definitely go with Amy.

We arrived on Monday 16th March from Sydney to TFU Airport. Great flight with Sichuan Airlines. Had a few days to ourselves wandering around shopping.

We wanted a relaxed, comfortable and flexible tour experience and Sophia ticked all the boxes! We were incredibly impressed. Our driver, Mr Li was professional and helpful. Very patient and friendly. We highly recommend Sophia and Mr Li for a warm and friendly approach to showing all nationalities around Chengdu. Thank you so much! A FIVE STAR guide and driver experience.

At short notice we had a tour of Chengdu with Michelle. She is a Chengdu local and knows her city well. She is a very nice person and enthusiastic guide. Her English is clear, and I understand she speaks Arabic as well. We were delighted with her service and enjoyed her company for the day. If we return to Chengdu we would use her again.
