About Tour Guide Isa Z.
Hi, I'm Isa— a licensed tour guide (English & Chinese) and a proud Chongqing native.
I know this city inside and out, from its deep history and hidden cultural gems to the futuristic cyberpunk vibes that make it so unique. And of course, I know exactly where to find the best mouth-numbing, heartwarming spicy food.
To me, guiding is so much more than showing people around — it's about creating real connections. I never see my guests as just "clients." I see them as friends who've traveled a long way to meet me, and I truly care about making your time here special.
If you're ready to explore Chongqing like a local, I'd love to be your guide. Let's have some fun together!

“Tailored Chongqing itinerary with an accomplished local guide”
Isa was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about her hometown. Her brilliant English alongside her boundless enthusiasm whisked us away. The tour felt more like a friend showing us around their home than a formal tour guide recounting lines they’d rehearsed previously. She was quick to adapt the itinerary accordingly which was necessary as we were a group of four with two travellers who had previously been to Chongqing just 6 months ago. She liked the challenge and made the day very special. She was able to answer all our questions and provided advice when we needed it. 10/10, thank you for the fantastic day Isa

“She was great”
Isa was amazingly helpful during my trip to CQ. I had a lot of specific requests for traditional photoshooting and the IG trendy ones with bike and rooftop and we had only limited time to arrange them. She arranged everything so efficiently and quick and booked, made deposits so it was a perfect and seamless experience. She has such a positive and fun personality which made the whole days fun and easy.
