5.00We had the tour guide Perri. He was very friendly and helpful. He had very good knowledge about the pandas and many other things. He was very patient with as we all like to go our own ways sometimes. He was able to answer all our questions. He took us for lunch and was considerate about spice levels and how to minimise the spice. The lunch was very very tasty. I would definitely recommend this company especially Perri.
Would recommend :)

5.00My guide Jane took me to all the spots mentioned in the description and showed me around. She answered all my questions and was very helpful in finding gifts to bring back home. I would highly recommend if you want to see all the must-see spots without any organisational hassle.
A very pleasant day

5.00Wonderful trip to the Breeding Centre of Pandas and the most characteristic areas of Chengdu: the guide JoJo is very nice and helpful, he knows very well the places visited and the tricks to see them at their best, not least he speaks a very pleasant English
(all day tour) but a must to absorb some of Chengdu‘s culture and passion on a tight schedule.

5.00We booked the trip in the last minute as our flights got canceled and was rebooked two days later. Cindy was amazing friendly and welcoming, Cindy toured us around the panda research park. Cindy knows the park well and we were rewarded with pandas and more pandas playing and eating, we even saw the baby pandas and about 8 red pandas, tree climbing and running around. I must say we saw more pandas than normal as we were told by many people. Cindy navigated the panda park and the city sights with knowledge and ease. Cindy educated us on the old town and the people’s park which was in the misted of the flower show. The flowers and the 100 year old tea house was calming and very enjoyable. Cindy is an asset to the tour company. This is a long tour (all day) but a must to absorb some of Chengdu‘s culture and passion on a tight schedule. Thank you Cindy for your time and knowledge.
Chengdu walking tour- fun!

5.00Perry was an amazing guide - tailored the day to our needs, and showed us so much attention throughout the day. We saw many pandas, they were so active, ate a delicious lunch, then walked through old world Chengdu and ended at the people's park- delightful. We got to see the many attractions that Chengdu has to offer and he went above and beyond. The driver - Mr Lu was smooth and professional - especially important with a child who gets significant motion sickness.
Perfect Chengdu tour

5.00Our guide Wells was very knowledgeable and showed us the best places in Chengdu (including the Panda reserve and Leishan Buddha). He went the extra mile, by also taking us on a local food tour at a local market. I would highly recommend Wells as a guide!
