Chengdu Panda & Leshan Giant Buddha Day Tour

It was a lovely day, that enabled me to see two places in one tour. My guide Pax took me around the Panda Base, it is huge so it’s ideal having a guide to help you. Then we went to Leshan, which was beautiful and well worth the drive. It’s a long day but I would highly recommend :)

Did the Chengdu Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha day tour with Zanbus and it was a long but very fulfilling experience. The itinerary is well planned, covering two major highlights in one day without feeling chaotic. Starting with the pandas was definitely a highlight — seeing them active, especially in the morning, makes a big difference. It’s a well-maintained place and easy to walk through with guidance on where to go. The Leshan Giant Buddha is truly impressive in scale. Seeing it up close and from different viewpoints gives a real sense of how massive and historic it is. Be prepared for a bit of walking and steps, but it’s absolutely worth it. Our guide PAX was very organized and kept the group moving smoothly throughout the day. Instructions were clear, timings were managed well. Transport was comfortable and the overall experience was efficient. It’s a great option if you want to cover both the panda base and Leshan in one day without handling the logistics yourself.

My family and I had a lovely time on this tour with our guide PAX. He was very clear with instructions, information and provided a really comfortable and memorable experience for my parents and I. The pandas were an incredible sight to see and the Giant Buddha was amazing from our boat tour. There was a decent amount of walking so make sure you're energised for the day. The bus ride was quite long to Leshan so you have a bit of time to rest up comfortably. This experience was great value for money and I'd highly recommend!

SUPER GOOD TOUR GUIDE! we booked the english tour and our tour guide （静静） was so so nice. i’m travelling w my 83 year old grandma and the guide ensured that the route was safe and convenient/ easy enough for my grandma. she was also super patient with my grandma! the tour was super good and well explained by her, she told us some fun facts about pandas too! would 100% recommend this guide!

Pax contacted us before the tour and provided all the necessary information, which made everything easy and stress-free. We traveled in a comfortable car and enjoyed an excellent guided tour with plenty of interesting insights. We never felt rushed while visiting the pandas, and the visit to the Buddha was an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend. The trip would not have been nearly as enjoyable without Pax’s knowledge and guidance. Highly recommended!

As others have mentioned, Pax and the driver are both friendly and wholly professional. Pax provided excellent and timely information and the transport was comfortable throughout the entire day. There was enough time to see plenty of pandas and the giant Buddha. Highly recommend.

Joined this tour on 12 May 2026. Was enjoyable and well organised. Our English speaking guide Pax was helpful in giving us valuable travel trips. He contacted us the day before via WhatsApp, giving us clear instructions as to where to meet and what to bring. Highly recommended English speaking tour guide.
