Reviews
Excellent tour and Doris was a fantastic tour guide. The tour was timed perfectly to be right before the pandas had lunch so they were still awake and walking around. Doris was very knowledgeable on various panda facts and led the tour well. For Leshan Giant Buddha, highly recommend taking the boat tour instead of hiking. You get a better view and don't have to wait in the queue of people hiking up & down. Lunch was delicious too!
I had an amazing experience! Mark was an excellent guide, very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire tour. He explained everything clearly, made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, and kept the experience fun and enjoyable. Visiting the pandas and the Leshan Giant Buddha was absolutely unforgettable! The scenery was breathtaking, and I really enjoyed learning more about these beautiful places. Everything was well organized, and I felt safe and taken care of throughout the day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chengdu. Thank you, Mark, for making this such a wonderful and memorable experience!
We spend the entire morning in the Panda center. Our tour guide, Mark, took us around to see the Red Pandas and the Giant Pandas. Both are sooooo cute. Luckily, it wasnt too crowded that day so we had a lot of time to watch the pandas with less people. During lunchtime, they took us to a restaurant near the Leshan Buddha. You order to share with the rest of the tour joiners and divide the bill equally and pay your share directly to the restaurant. We proceeded to the Leshan Buddha and walked all the way down to its feet so we can see its entire body. Also went around the complex. All in all a very good experience. Thanks Mr. Mark!
our guide Terry was excellent, he was very kind and funny! would definitely recommend! please note that this is a short tour so if you want to see the famous panda Hua Hua, you’ll need to book a longer tour because there is a 2-3 hour wait to see Hua Hua.
Doris was the sweetest, she was checking on everyone and was making sure that we see everything and told us a lot about the Pandas and the history until we got to the Leshin Buddha statue.
It was good that we reached early in the morning, still saw some pandas outside their dorms. They were not very active as it was too warm around noon when we left. The tour was awesome! Mark is friendly, knowledgeble and helpful. Worth the money and recommendation.
I can't help saying thanks to Mark, Yanna and the team. The experience of panda and Leshan Buddha statue tour is far more excellent than my expectation. Yanna reminded me the night before about meeting-up and Mark welcomed us on time. To my surprise, the group members came from several countries instead of Chinese, and Mark speaks English so well. The pandas are really really adorable....... driving to Leshan spent quite a long time but worth it when I saw the huge statue. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I took the one day tour to panda base & Buddha, it was so nice. Pick up point was easy to find near the metro station in city center. The panda park is very huge so we took the shuttle bus inside, we saw many pandas following our guide steps. Lunch recommended by the guide was amazing, the bill was split by the group members and it was only around 7 bucks per person, we tasted quite a few dishes both vegetables and meat. I was shocked by Leshan Buddha, so huge.Group members were kind and friendly. A must-do in Chengdu.
this was a great tour as a solo traveller, Yanna was a great guide, super friendly and knowledgeable, the drive times weren’t too long, the pandas and the Buddha were both amazing and really enjoyed lunch as well - everything went smoothly, highly recommend.
Perfect day!! I joined the Panda base & Leshan Giant Buddha group tour and loved every minute. The meeting point was bery easy to find and you can grab a cup of coffee there in the morning as well. The whole trip was well-paced and truly enjoyable. Lunch was a wonderful surprise: delicious local food, and plenty of it. A special shout-out to our guide Doris – her English is excellent, and she’s such a warm, kind person. She shared fascinating stories, kept everyone smiling, and made the group feel like friends. Highly recommend!! 🤩
