very nice experience, our... - very nice experience, our guide Mark speaks fluent English and he knows the route to watch pandas where it is less crowded. He always took care of me on the way as I'm a senior. The ride to Leshan Buddha is pretty long but worth it, really amazing buddha statue. Mark recommended a garden restaurant serving Sichuan dishes at affordable prices , I enjoyed it very much! would definitely recommend this tour.

Wonderful Tour! - I loved this tour! Judy was a wonderful guide, very kind and knowledgeable. We arrived just in time for the pandas’ breakfast, so they were very active. They are so cute! The Leshan Giant Buddha was also wonderful, and I really appreciated being able to see both sites in one day. I highly recommend this tour!

Great value and wonderful trip - A slower start with some delays on setting off but was so pleased that no time was cut from our time at the pandas or the Buddha.
Mark is an amazing guide and has so much knowledge on all the places visited and is an all round great guy!
Lunch was an amazing experience. Not included in the price but taken to a lovely local spot which is tucked away.

Great way to see sights near Chengdu - The visit was fun and our guide Mark was a very friendly guide. The tour lasted longer than advertised (ours ran from 7am-7.30pm) but that's always to be expected in China, just prepare for a full day of activity. The ride from the panda base to Leshan can take about 3 hours so this tour isn't for everyone, it's a lot of sitting on the minibus. However it was a very easy and comfortable way to get to the pandas and the Buddha without the hassle of trains and buses and taxis. We had some delicious lunch in Leshan too (not included in price) which Mark helped us order.
