Book this tour with Silvia, who has a kind and positive personality. All tour guides have completed university and know the history very well, making it very interesting to listen to them. We started our tour early to reach the Panda Base by 8 am. It's best to go there as early as possible to avoid crowds. Trust me, wake up at 6 am if needed :) so you can better see and enjoy the lives of the pandas. This was the reason I went to China and I was so happy to see these cute creatures. Later, we went to a Zen Buddhist monastery on a famous street. I was amazed at how everything is still so authentic in China—temples, tea houses, food, tea bars, and ear grooming. Afterwards, we went to People's Park. I visited on a Friday, which was a public holiday. Wow, the things you will see there will amaze you. Then we had traditional green tea in a tea house. Actually, I haven't seen such tea houses in either Beijing or Hangzhou. So, please enjoy every moment there. Later, we also went to another tourist spot—a street where you can buy lots of souvenirs, clothes, sweets, and more.

Both Casey and Helen arrived early at the hotel and driver was ready for us. Casey spoke very good English and very knowledgeable about the tour. We saw the Panda at close proximity, there were quite a few Giant Pandas in the Panda base. Casey helped us to navigate through the crowd with ease. Good vegetarian meal at the monastery. The wide and narrow alleys were very interesting, full of character and cultural history. Definitely recommend this tour. Thanks to both Casey and Helen for a very goof tour in Chengdu.

Booked this tour to get an overall impression on Chengdu and the pandas, as my time was limited. Alice picked me up from the hotel with a driver and explained to me everything very clearly and with lots of insights. I got a great view on the giant panda and small panda and could see many of them. Although crowded, we got along quite smooth. The Wenshu Yuan monastery was very impressive, and Alice knew a lot about it. The walk through the people's park with a delicious tee was a good closure of an interesting day. Thank you, Alice, for your passion and insights. Thanks also to the driver, who picked us up and dropoedus safely. I'm looking forward to the next tour with you guys.
