Comfortable trip and beautiful scenary - We had a punctual pickup in a nice car with a smooth ride over to Leshan. Huang Lin suggested the order in which we first took the boat ride then did the climb to see the Big Buddha and it worked out very well. She helped us to buy the tickets and was very communicative when it comes to the pickup to go back to the city. Everything was effortless and the sights were quite amazing even though the feet of the Big Buddha was closed. Definitely a more comfortable and convenient method to go see Leshan. Recommend!

The right solution for this unforgettable excursion - Finding the right solution for this excursion to two of China's important tourist sites is not an easy task. This programme turned out to be the best solution for me and it offered excellent value for money. I saw that all of "the private tours with tour guide" are very expensive indeed (with entry and lunch included). However, what I needed was a private driver who could guide me to the entry points of the Panda Centre in Chengdu, as well as to the Giant Buddha in Leshan - but I did not want to have to listen to a guide all day or to be taken to some restaurant (or even shopping at selected merchants). I wanted privacy but independence. That is what I got at a much more reasonable price. I was picked up from the hotel in a comfortable limousine. I had the driver that everyone else has been praising on this site. He is indeed careful and smooth at the wheel, keeps his distance, and he steered us safely through a bout of some very heavy rain. He accompanied me to all of the ticket offices and, once I was equipped with all of the paper-work (paid myself), I was set to enjoy these impressive Chinese sights. It was a very successful occasion - but be prepared for a full day of tourism!

Giant Buddha Indeed - It was a great trip! It’s about 2 hours by car from downtown Chengdu. My driver, Wu Chen, was great and helped me a lot once we got to the site (tickets, etc). It’s not too bad of a climb to the top from the main entrance. You can also opt to climb down to the feet and then climb 20 stories back up again but I chose not to do that. Overall the trip went smoothly and I would highly recommend it!

Great tour - Our tour did not include an English speaking guide but the Chinese driver was more than efficient. He was very helpful and kind and gave us valuable information about Chengdu. Also safe driving which is not always the case in China.The car was very comfortable. The driver picks you up at the hotel and drives you back there. The Giant Buddha is amazing and you can either visit by boat or a short hike in the mountain. Definitely worth seen. This tour is highly recommended!

The scenery is nice. - I can't speak English so I can't explore places as much as others do. My driver is good just that I couldn't communicate much.
