After the reservation is successful, the itinerary will immediately confirm the itinerary on WeChat, which is very reassuring. Our itinerary steward Elsa was professional and attentive. She followed our itinerary very closely and answered all our questions about Chengdu patiently and courteously. What's more worth mentioning is that Elsa was very friendly and enthusiastic in helping us book our favorite Michelin-starred restaurant in Chengdu, although the related booking procedures and dish selection were a bit complicated. We are very satisfied and grateful for Elsa's prompt service throughout the entire journey! The tour guide Viola was professional and courteous, and had already confirmed all the itinerary arrangements with us the day before the trip. Along the way, Viola gave us in-depth and detailed explanations, allowing us to learn a lot about Sichuan, Chengdu, Panda Base, Zhang Gong, Leshan Giant Buddha, etc., which benefited us a lot. For lunch at Zhanggongqiao, Viola led us to taste a variety of delicious and authentic Sichuan dishes, such as sweet-skin duck, tofu brain, stir-fried beef tongue, stilted beef, etc. It was really eye-opening. The car was spacious and comfortable throughout the journey, and the driver was professional and courteous. All in all, our trip exceeded our expectations and we returned home happily. My heartfelt thanks again to Elsa and Viola! We will come back to Sichuan again and next time we will visit Dujiangyan, Mount Emei, Qingcheng, Jiuzhaigou and other famous places. We look forward to participating in your other guided tours on KLOOK again!

Tour guide is helpful and knowledgeable to explain on the history an culture of the sites that we have visited. Trip is fruitful with him around. Great person.
Ms. Lily is highly responsive, communicating clearly in English and ensuring the tour proceeds smoothly even with just one guest. Ms. Tang, our driver, ensures a safe and comfortable ride in her clean and pleasant car, even providing bottled water. Mr. Steven impresses with his excellent English, extensive knowledge, and rich experience, making him a fantastic guide. Overall, their professionalism, kindness, and friendliness exceed expectations, ensuring a memorable trip. I had a delightful experience and wholeheartedly recommend this tour, especially for first-time visitors to Chengdu.
Had a great full day tour of the Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base and the Leshan Giant Buddha - all because of this excellent tour guide Summer whose command of English surprised us. She could follow my rapid fire native English and answer my many questions including teaching me about the statutes in the Buddhist temple. She was probably the best tour guide I have ever had in years of travel. She made it interesting and I learned a lot too. Summer is pleasant and thoughtful and not overbearing with an information dump. Highly recommend you see Chengdu with Summer.
Driver and guide were friendly and efficient. Leshan boat ride and Panda reserve were crowded attractions. Journey was not too long and we dropped off at Chunxi later for shopping
The service of the tour guide Jason is very good! The whole process was taken care of and explained clearly! What a great place to have lunch, reasonably priced and the food is top notch! (Shangyin Jiuxi Garden Restaurant)
fantastic experience, the entire tour from booking, to the day was extremely professional
