  I would like to say that our driver and a guide were both amazing, mostly putting all the stars to them and pandas. This is an extremely expensive excursion for 5 mins with pandas while a guy feeds them while we have to keep 1m distance. I would at least expect being able to take pictures with pandas up close and feed them, but they took our phones away during the 5 minutes we had with pandas. Most of the day you spend with other people visiting the centre normally (not volunteering). Not worth the price and would just suggest to visit the place ☺️ don’t pay for volunteering

• I didn't like it

  I did not find the experience interesting. Maybe years ago, from what I can see in the photos there was more interaction, now it's like going to the zoo Nice because you see pandas, anyway from a distance, but stop It's nothing more You can even prepare food for them, but you can't give them Our guide was very good but I would not stay there again Also because pandas are not many

  This was our favourite activity in China. Our volunteering trip to the Panda research center was exciting and educational. The pandas were fun to watch, and thanks to our knowledgable guide we learnt a lot about pandas and China in general. Well done, would come back any day!

  Unforgettable and beautiful experience on volunteer day at Dujaiyang Panda Reserve! We booked through Panda Tours a couple of months ago and everything turned out perfect. We were joined by Heather, Panda Tours guide, who from the previous day contacted us to carry out the coordinations (we should have WeChat installed to communicate). Heather was punctual, very professional, warm, friendly and friendly. The day passed very quickly and with great joy for what we experienced... 100% recommended! Fabiola and Alejandro

  We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the Panda Base which took around 1.30hrs from Chengdu city centre. The place was not that busy so we got to see many of the Pandas without any crowds. Our guide was very informative and spoke good english. There were shuttle vehicles for transporting eveyone around but we choose to walk, which took less than 2hrs, stopping to take many pictures along the way. Whilst it was a good experience its wasnt cheap but having a private tour guide and walk at your own pace made it an enjoyable day out.

  

  

  

• Magical day with the pandas

  This was an absolutely magic day, spending time helping to prepare food for the pandas, learning so much about them and the efforts to revive the population and best of all spending time watching the pandas wrestle and play This tour was amazing because of our guide Keira, Keira worked so hard to make sure we had a wonderful time immersed in the world of the panda, she hustled us when necessary to make sure we got a good view, took pictures of us, made sure we got to see the red pandas many others missed, didn’t rush us when we wanted to stand and stare at the panda antics and had such an infectious energy and sense of humour. I’d highly recommend this tour.

• Keira made our day special

  This panda volunteering experience was truly unforgettable and easily one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organized, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. Being so close to the pandas and learning about their care, conservation, and daily routines was both humbling and incredibly inspiring. A very special mention goes to our guide, Keira. She was absolutely fantastic - warm, cheerful, and genuinely passionate about what she does. From the very first moment, she made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited for the day ahead. Her positive energy was contagious, her explanations were clear and engaging, and she was always attentive to everyone in the group. It truly felt like we were spending the day with a friend rather than just being guided through an activity. Keira’s kindness, enthusiasm, and professionalism made a huge difference to the overall experience. We genuinely enjoyed her company and could not have asked for a better guide. Thanks to her, the day felt not only educational, but also joyful and personal. Highly, highly recommended - especially if you’re lucky enough to have Keira as your guide. This is an experience we’ll remember for a very long time. 🐼💚

  This has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Been able to be so close of this majestic and gentle animal, in a small group and through the inner part of the park was amazing. And we had the best guide with us, Kira accompanied us every step of the way, giving us every detail and story of this beautiful place. I definitely recommend you to take this experience.

  The tour allows you to gain a sense of what its like to be a panda centre volunteer for a day. It will be the closest most will ever get to a Panda. My guide Keira was also great and handled all the translations and admin. It may be a tad expensive if you're going solo like I did.
