A Great Trip - I joined this English-guided tour and had a nice time. The guide spoke fluent English, showed us good spots to avoid crowds at the Panda Base and explained the Buddha’s history well. We had a group lunch around 1-2 PM—30 RMB per person, tasty Sichuan food. The bus was clean, driver steady. Relaxing and worth recommending.

A Fantastic Trip to Leshan and Panda Base - What an amazing trip! The weather was cool, making the whole journey very comfortable. We could get on the bus at the meeting point, and what's more, hotel pick - up and drop - off were also available, which was so convenient. The Leshan Giant Buddha was breathtaking, and seeing the pandas was such a delight. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, adding so much to the experience. It was really a fantastic tour!

So Good! - This tour’s totally worth it! The guide’s English is solid, explains everything well. We got up close to the pandas (they’re so cute!) and learned all about Leshan Buddha’s history. Best part? Tickets and round-trip rides are included—no stress at all. Super good deal, foreign folks will love it!

It's an English guided... - It's an English guided group mixed with Europeons, Ameicans and some Asians. The tour leader Mark speaks English pretty well and makes himself understood all the way. Panda base is large and clean, very well organized too. Worth the money, good choice to travel around the city.
