This half-day panda base tour was amazing! Our guide speaks perfect fluent English with abundant professional knowledge about giant pandas. He told vivid conservation stories and patiently answered all our questions in English. He took us to less crowded spots, helped us take great photos and arranged the whole trip smoothly. No rushing, great service, highly recommend!

Our tour guide was very thoughtful. Our accommodation was a bit far, outside the Third Ring Road, so they arranged for a driver to take us to the meeting point in the morning. My husband and I, our three-year-old child, and our elderly parents went together, and all the attractions were free for the child. However, I must mention that this itinerary involves a lot of walking, so it can be quite strenuous if you're not physically fit. Qingcheng Mountain in the morning was absolutely beautiful, truly living up to its reputation as the most serene mountain under heaven. We kept walking and walking, and eventually, the elderly members of our group stopped to rest near the summit, while we continued to the very top. After lunch, we proceeded to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System. This incredibly magnificent project was very enlightening, and we learned about the deeds of General Li Bing of the Qin Dynasty, which filled us with immense admiration for him. There was never a dull moment throughout the entire trip. If you're in good physical condition, I highly, highly recommend it!

We are a group of five senior friends who traveled to Chengdu and Chongqing. Klook travel designer Charley meticulously customized our itinerary, arranging everything according to our interests and abilities, making the overall trip rich in content and comfortable. The local tour teams in both cities were also very professional. Each day, they provided advance weather reminders, allowing us to prepare appropriate attire. Both drivers had excellent driving attitudes, ensuring safety and attentiveness, providing us with several comfortable long-distance travel experiences. Thank you all! The tour guides were also professional and attentive. Nancy in Chengdu and Xiao K in Chongqing gave us in-depth introductions to the local culture, history, customs, and unique attractions of each scenic spot, giving us a vivid sense of both cities and their human history. Thank you again for your care! Overall, the Klook team was very thoughtful in all aspects. Their professional service and enthusiastic attitude brought us unforgettable and joyful experiences during our 9-day trip.

The program was really well-structured and wonderful. I was excited from the morning just at the thought of seeing pandas, and our guide told us we were lucky—we even got to see a panda named Huahua and truly so many others. The panda base is quite large and a bit tiring, but the guide took great care of us, allowing us to have a wonderful time. Above all, thanks to our passionate and kind guide, the whole day's tour was happy. You're the absolute best, guide! 👍👍👍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience today! The whole day was very well organized and we got to see so many beautiful and special places. We absolutely loved Panda Valley, but we also really enjoyed the rest of the itinerary, especially seeing the beautiful “Blue Tears” in the evening. It made the whole experience even more special. Our guide was incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout the entire day. He took great care of us, helped us with everything we needed and made everything very easy despite the language barrier. We felt very comfortable with him from beginning to end. It was a fantastic and very complete experience, and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Chengdu. We would absolutely recommend it. Thank you so much for such a wonderful day! 🐼💙

Great 4.0
A good one-day trip, the tour guide is friendly, warm and very helpful. The only unpleasnt experience (we are the only 2 foreigners among the group of mostly senior locals) is the high concentration of smokers among the group members. They had control themselves well enough for not smoking in the bus; but they will smoke whenever there's an opportunity outside the bus, and that's a bit of challenge to both of us.

Fantastic 5.0
I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Pros: 1. It's very difficult to buy tickets for Sanxingdui on your own, so joining a tour group makes it hassle-free and it's definitely worth seeing. 2. The group was relatively small. Although the guide's sales pitch on the bus was a bit awkward, there was no pressure to buy anything. Cons: 1. We spent too little time seeing the pandas, only two hours, which felt rushed. 2. Don't join this tour specifically to see "Hua Hua": The guide immediately explained that the wait would be at least an hour and a half, making it impossible to see her with the group. It would only be possible if you skipped all other pandas and focused solely on Hua Hua, and even then, you'd only get about three minutes with her. Summary: Overall, I'm satisfied and give it a 9. I recommend it for those whose main goal is Sanxingdui; just lower your expectations for the panda portion.

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.
