  Our driver was extremely helpful, taking us to buy tickets and showing us where to go in. At Leshan he even queued for us, insisting we sit and cool down. The comfy car with free water and air con were also lovely given the heat.

• Not a tour, a taxi ride and only in Chinese

  Overpriced and oversold. The information is also incorrect at worst and ambiguous at best. Talks about English guide/ driver- ours didn’t speak a word of English!! Didn’t even attempt to introduce himself! On getting into the car - it stank of smoke - totally unacceptable and unprofessional and very unpleasant when you don’t smoke!! Guide for Leshan Buddha was a folder with copy of Wikipedia article - didn’t even bother to take ‘citation needed’ out!! No instructions on what to do when got into panda centre so wasted time finding out about shuttle bus because signs obviously all in Chinese!! Expected us to communicate via WeChat which luckily had but many visitors wouldn’t. At Leshan he took us towards the ticket offices via translator what tickets we wanted - did we want a cruise? Well on the basis we had no information provided about options it is impossible and very frustrating to make a choice! These ‘taxi firms’, because that’s all they appear to be, should not be allowed to advertise on Viator at over inflated prices offering nothing but a day ride share wrapped in an alleged tour packages. I have already cancelled a trip later in holiday because it became apparent it was just a taxi! If you want to see the pandas and/or the Buddha whilst in Chengdu - save yourself a lot of money and either do a legitimate ‘tour’ that supports you, and communicates to make your time pleasurable or failing that just use your own taxi bookings - much better value!

  This was a great experience. I would recommend this tour if you’re in Chengdu for a short period of time. Both sites are must see if you are in Chengdu. Our driver Huang Lin was very friendly and helped us buy the tickets for both sites and told us exactly where to go. The drive was very comfortable as leshan is almost 2 hours away.

• Loved the trip and the organization!

  We were very happy with the trip! Our driver didn’t speak a word of English but she helped us to get to both the panda and Buddha leshan perfectly not only bringing us there but also showing us where to buy the tickets. Thank you very much Huang Lin!!! Also on the way back to Chengdu she brought us to an ancient town to spend some time. THANS AGAIN!

  My recent experience was overall very pleasant! Li Chao whom was very polite was in my hotels lobby on the time they mentioned they would be, and drove me to some of the popular landmarks that Chengdu had to offer. The language barrier made communication a bit tricky but he does make the effort to converse with the use of a translator app. Would defo recommend.
