Fab experience - Fab experience. Exceptional food in spots we'd have never found with insights and back stories on ingredients, cooking techniques and culture from a wonderful local guide. Completely enhanced our Chengdu experience.

Amazing experience - Highly recommended! - Daisy was such a good tour guide. The panda visit was great but the highlight was learning to play Mahjong and we closed the day with top local food at Chengdu! Highly recommended!

Amazing! - We had such an incredible trip with Monica! She is so kind and immediately made us feel comfortable. She is clearly very passionate about Chengdu, and it shows. The food was incredible and she was able to adjust things to meet the needs of our group.

A window into authentic Chengdu - Cannot recommend highly enough. Our guide Iris was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Our driver was also safe and careful.
At the panda base we arrived at the right time and were taken to the right spots to see lots of active pandas without the crowds.
The real highlight was the ‘fly restaurant’ which you have to experience for yourself. Let’s just say it’s not on the normal tourist path!
The tea house is a bit of a drive outside the city, but it’s worth it for a truly authentic experience- complete with a Mahjong game with locals!
The evening food tour to end the day was brilliant, and we went to spots I’d have never found for myself. The tuk tuk was a nice touch and the plum wine in the final bar was excellent.
Iris is a fantastic guide, and if you do one tour in Chengdu make it this one. You won’t regret it.

An amazing experience - Excellent tour of the Chengdu food scene and the panda breeding center. Started the day off touring the Panda center and then spending the rest of the day trying the different foods of the region plus some tea and mahjong. Tour was really well organized, and the tour guide was excellent!
