Amy In Chengdu Like 0

Amy is a wonderful guide. I had planned to spend 10 days in Chengdu but did not have time to prepare a travel plan. Amy carefully listened at my expectations and made a full program which included the most famous places but also some of the backstages of the city. Visiting with her was extremely interesting because not only she is very knowledgeable about the history and the culture, but she has the passion to communicate about her city and the region. She took me to travel by taxi, metro, bus, car, train. She also helped me to organize some parts that I wanted to travel solo, which is not easy for a non-chinese speaking tripper in a place where almost nobody speaks english. She was very cautious about all the little details that make a trip pleasant: arranging the best schedule, preparing pauses to relax after long walks, making sure that her client is always comfortable. In all, she made my trip a unique experience and I can do no less that strongly recommending her as a guide for future visitors to Chengdu and the area.

My family just returned a few days ago from a two week trip to China.  We only had a very short stop in Chengdu (2 nights), and wanted to make the most of it.  The best thing we could have done is hire Amy. I have to be honest when I say that we really didn't know much about Chengdu.  We wanted to go see the pandas and eat some of the dishes that Sichuan Province (and particularly Chengdu) are known for.  Beyond that, we pretty much left the itinerary up to Amy.  She was great!  She suggested a really nice mix of things to see and do, and honestly left us wanting more.  Thanks to Amy and her infectious love, pride and passion for her city we wished we were staying longer.  She was full of information on the historic and cultural sites we visited.  She took us to some wonderful places to eat that we probably never would have ventured to on our own.  At the end of the trip she accompanied us to the train station and helped us get our train tickets for the next leg of our journey - to Chongqing.

We have had some guides in the past who we couldn't wait to get away from at the end of the day.  Amy was a pleasure to be around, and we truly enjoyed her company.  My family and I have had quite a few guides in China.  We lived there for 3 years and visited quite a few places. I can honestly say that I would rate Amy #1. 

I visited Chengdu for a few days and Amy made it a great experience. She knows Chengdu and surrounding area well and we visited several sites in and around Chengdu. She has wealth of information of all sites, making each visit unique and interesting. We were also able to try different styles of local cuisine in every meal. Chengdu is famous for it's spicy dishes but I had requested not very spicy foods. Amy helped me order different kinds of dishes, all very good. She is an excellent guide who can elevate your trip, too.

Amy is really a professional in her field of activity. She has an excellent feeling how to guide a travel group, to meet their needs and she has a deep knowledge of her city's hotspots, cultural places and long history. She also knows the region's surroundings and is able to provide tourists also off the beaten track places in or next to Chengdu or Sichuan. She is able to provide a customized tour according to your preferences as well as to propose an exciting itinerary to anybody who is indecisive what to do best. Knowing the venues of her city very well and due to her friendly kind, we would chose Amy as our tour guide at any time again. Thank you for all you have done. Tanja & Markus 

I recently visited Chengdu for business purposes so I took the opportunity to do some sight seeing.

  With Amy as my guide for 4 days it was one of the most memorable times I have had. Just enough

  information and a local and personal touch which has given me an understanding of the real China.

       If you want a guide who is local, good English, organised and fun,  Amy is your guide.
