This was a phenomenally rich cultural experience curated by Sheldon at U2 Panda. He’s from the area and studied Tourism at college and clearly understands and cares about the tea-economy and the broader cultural gifts Sichuan has to offer visitors. I was so lucky to have picked this tour, though the description did swing my choice. Please visit these wonderful people and see what the province gifts us. Sheldon and driver Mr. Chow made my trip so memorable (and it was already pretty culturally-full having seen the pandas and the Opera). Thank you Sheldon!!

Patrick and driver were extremely great hosts. Patrick had a good command of English’s dun gave clear explanations on the historical sites and local cultures/practices. The restaurants, tea drinking and plantation visits were highly personalised and localised, and hence was something most tourists would not experience traditionally. Would highly recommend this tour!

We chose to spend my friend’s birthday with this tour and it was the best choice. We had an amazing day, experiencing the non touristy sides of a smaller city, visiting a local kindergarten, seeing the Leshan Buddha (which was so fun, because apparently it was the Buddha’s birthday as well!) and trying to pick tea leaves and see the process of making tea. We had the nicest guide, Patrick, and he was a really big part of making this day so special. So thank you, it was more than we hoped for.

We really enjoyed our tour guide, who was very knowledgeable about the sights and the local history. The boat tour to the Buddha was great - a spectacular viewpoint from the water. We had a lovely lunch with a local farmer and his wife, walked through Leshan, and then learned about the process of growing and harvesting tea.
