About VIVA Tours

Your local team in China

A licensed Chongqing travel agency built around one belief: the best way to see China is with someone who lives there.

Our story

From a tiny office by the Jialing River to thousands of journeys

VIVA Tours began as a two-person operation helping friends and travellers find their way around Chongqing — a city with no flat ground and no patience for tourists lost with a map. Word spread. Today we're a licensed agency with our own guides, drivers, and a network of partners across Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and the whole Yangtze corridor.

But the rule that started it never changed: every guest travels as if they're family — private, unhurried, and shown the real thing.

What we stand for

Three promises we keep on every trip

Honest pricing

No hidden fees, no forced shopping stops, no surprise add-ons. The quote is the price.

Real experiences

We take you where locals actually go — the teahouse, the night market, the family-run noodle shop.

Your pace

Fast is fine, slow is fine. If you want to linger at a temple for an hour, we linger.
