The guide Wells had very good english, and he and the driver were very attentious. I didn't last any time buying tickets to boat and cable car. Mount Qingcheng is very interesting, the birth of Taoism. And the Dujiangyan irrigation system is impressive. Wells explained to me the clever system built some centurires ago and still working. The lunch was very good. I liked the trip but would not do it again because of the cost benefit, mainly because I was traveling solo.

Great trip. Guide spoke excellent English and could understand our questions and answer them with context. He was considerate in his pacing and concerned for our safety. There are many many steps and the trip description should advise travelers that this is a strenuous activity. The irrigation site was beautiful with outstanding landscaping. The history and significance of the site was amazing. Our guide was very helpful in our understanding of the story.

The tour itself was OK and many of the monuments were left aside in order to have a lunch.It took also more than the predicted time,which left me no time to visit the monuments at Chengdu.So for people that can speak some Chinese and want to do sightseeing I would recommend to go there by themshelves. They would manage to see more and walk around in the mountain,whose natural environment is comparable to Emeishan. But for people like me that like flirting with girls, this tour is ideal. Silvia,although not so beautiful, will let you have a nice dating feeling that you will remember for days.She also arranged for me a driver to drive me to the train station next day.
Wonderful tour, many many stairs

Had an awesome time seeing all the history and party's of this tour. Would've liked a little more time at the irrigation plant as we only saw the main pieces, none of the trails. Our guide was great, answered questions, allowed us time to explore each place and taught us lots about the history each place.
Absolutely fantastic tour. Extremely...
