4.00ONE IN A LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE. The driver was late coming to pick us up and we were afraid that we will miss our opportunity to hold/touch panda, however we were lucky and the day progressed as planed. It was raining so that kind of put the dumper on a things and panda that we took picture with and hugged was dirty and wet, BUT still it was some kind of experience. Other people's reviews are correct - YES one only has about 20 seconds to spend in front of the camera with the panda, but one is allowed to hug it touch it's back, face etc. Of course all this experience is overpriced, but how often are we going to do that??? As far as lunch while there - it is nothing that will fill you up, but it is o.k. survival food. The staff on premises is not especially friendly or approachable - EVERYTHIGN IS ABOUT MAKING MONEY!!
Amazing Panda Experience!

5.00Our driver was ready to go in our lobby on time and drive safely to the panda base. The volunteer experience was incredible and we were lucky to end up with a private group of just our party. We got to feed the pandas twice, see them up close from behind the habitats, help clean the habitats, and prepare the bamboo. We paid extra for the photo and it was worth every penny. Amazing experience and great driver service. Would recommend!

2.00The driver did not speak English and was not able to help me at the Panda Base as the other tour operators did for their costumers. Because of this the start of the day got a bit confusing, but everything got sorted eventually thanks to the Panda Base staff.

5.00Top visit on my list, this was my 2nd time and was as good as the 1st time if not better. 2nd time around they have more guides available. They have geared up to receive visitors and the panda experience. This time with Viator I only booked the taxi return, he was a non english speaker but it was ok, he drove well!
