Chengdu Panda & Leshan Giant Buddha Day Tour

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.

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! 👍👍👍

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 :)

had a fun and amazing day with Marina!! She was full of knowledge, passionate about Chengdu and fun! the pandas were so adorable ( both the giant and the red ). Did the boat in Leshan. Very cool plane. Marina explained the history and pointed out the sleeping Buddha. Had Mr Ma as our driver! he was patient, and a responsible safe driver! great day!! highly recommend it!

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!

Would reccomend this tour if you want to tackle 2 locations (Panda Base & Leshan Buddha) in one day. Our tour guide 圆圆 is bilingual and can explain the cultural and historical significance of the points of interest. The bus driver is also very smooth and safe.

The best excursion we took in China. Both for the organization and for our guide, who was simply excellent and very kind! She speaks English perfectly and explained so much about what we saw. Highly recommended!!

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!
