5.00We went on an amazing Legend tour to the Dazu Rock Carvings today, and our guide, Legend, truly lived up to his name! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience engaging and fun. Lunch was one of the best we’ve had in China—fresh, delicious local food with no tourist traps or unnecessary sales. Everything felt authentic and well-organized. If you ever visit China, we highly recommend joining Legend’s tour. He’s professional, passionate, and ensures everyone has a great time exploring the beautiful carvings and learning their history. An unforgettable experience with an exceptional guide!

5.00We were lucky to have Legend as our driver-guide again for this tour. Dazu has magnificent carvings, which we appreciated all the more because of Legend’s deep knowledge of Buddhism and local history. Lunch was again very tasty - this time it was a local fish hotpot. Definitely would recommend.
Legend is great!

5.00Legend was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic experience of the Dazu Rock Carvings. He took us through a secret path to avoid queues and tourist traps. The car we were driven in was quite comfortable. As for the lunch, we went to a small family owned place and tried hot pot for the first time.
Great experience seeing the Dazu Rock Carvings

5.00Legend is a great tour guide who drove us safely to Dazu to see the rock carvings at Baoding and Beishan. He kindly explained to us the history and meaning for the shrines. For lunch, we ate suen cai yu (酸菜鱼) at a local restaurant. It was really filling and delicious 🤤 You can count on Legend for a great day! 👍

5.00Requires climbing. The carvings itself are phenomenal. Steeped in history, now a World Heritage site. Our tour guide, Legend Kung was forthcoming and helpful. I am a deaf man. Legend Kung typed painstakingly for me.
Legend is highly recommended

5.00Very good tour overall. Highly recommend Legend as your guide because he’s a direct, no non-sense, detailed guide who provides clear explanations of the carvings. You won’t feel rushed even though we went thru the carvings in a timely manner.
Dazu is a must see and we could not have found a better guide than Legend!

5.00Legend is a great tour guide. He contacted us in advance of the trip to confirm pick up details and arrived punctually with the car. On the way there he explained about the history and the cultural significance of the site and also answered all our questions about the local area including the agriculture and way of life in the local villages that we passed. We visited Baodingshan in the morning and spent about 2 hours there looking at the carvings and taking photographs. Legend is very knowledgeable about the history of the carvings and explained to us who and what the carvings represent and the themes they depict. It is a truly amazing place although pretty busy. We had the choice of where to go in the afternoon and chose to go to the much quieter site of Shimenshan, after a delicious lunch of local freshwater fish. Apart from us, there were only a couple of other visitors at the second site and we found it quiet and impressive. It is a much earlier site and also includes Taoist and Confucian statues. After spending 90 minutes or so at the site we drove back to Chongqing and were dropped off back at our hotel. We could not have found a better guide for the trip to Dazu and were very happy that we booked with Legend.
Highly recommended.

5.00It's a fantastic place to visit. Our driver, Legend, was great. On time, friendly and helpful beyond the call of duty. We didn't have to worry about anything. He talked us through the two ancient sites and knew all that was expected of him. His English was excellent. He organised an interesting lunch experience. I would go again without question.

5.00On our second day, we had the privilege of exploring the historic Dazu Rock Carvings with Legend as our guide, and it was another unforgettable experience! His detailed explanations of the intricate carvings and their historical and cultural significance added so much depth to our visit. Legend’s passion for history and storytelling truly brought the site to life. He also introduced us to an amazing lunch, featuring Sichuan pickles with river fish soup (sauerkraut river fish soup), which was absolutely superb! It was the perfect way to immerse ourselves further in the local culture. Legend’s attentiveness, knowledge, and ability to create a memorable experience make him an outstanding guide. We are so grateful for his guidance and can’t recommend him enough for anyone visiting Dazu or beyond.
