5.00Excellent experience. Our driver and guide were both very professional, punctual, and attentive. Our guide was able to answer many questions about Chengdu and her experience living there. She was knowledgeable about the Panda breeding center and able to take us to the areas for the best Panda viewing. The Breeding Center itself was remarkable with the cage-less enclosures and beautiful landscaping. Viator had issued a mistaken reservation to us which was cancelled the day before our tour. However they were able to rebook us quickly.

5.00I did this tour solo and had Emma as my tour guide. From the beginning of pickup she was extremely friendly and very easy to talk to. She was very knowledgeable during the tour and answered any questions I had as well. She made it feel like it was just visiting the park with a friend and I am very thankful for having her as a guide. Her english was amazing as well!
perfect tour

5.00This was a lovely morning tour to see the pandas! The whole site is very well laid out and nice to walk around. There are numerous pens with both giant panda, children, teenagers and adults(!) and red pandas. So you will see plenty! A half day morning tour is all you need, because the pandas are only out and active from early morning until about 10/10:30am. I had Jojo as my tour guide and she was lovely! Really easy to talk to! Told me loads about the pandas and other things regarding life in China, which was very insightful! It’s surreal to see them! Go do it! Thank-you Jojo!
Good tour for base logistics

5.00Good guide Jin who really took us on a great path through the base to minimize crowds and maximize panda viewing - that is key as the base is huge and crowded. We saw a lot of pandas outside and it was wonderful
