The best! Couldn't be happier. - All I can say is WOW. I originally had booked with another company, but they canceled my reservation without explanation, which prompted me to book this tour. I must say that I could not be happier with the experience. We were picked up at our hotel on time in a Mercedes sedan, so it felt luxurious. Andie was our tour guide, and she was terrific. She spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Chengdu—and pandas! She loved the pandas as much as my daughter and knew many interesting facts. The drive itself felt fast because the conversations were engaging. We loved prepping food for the pandas and watching them feed up close—so close that I was an arm's length away from the panda. The documentary we had to watch was interesting, and it was amazing to see just how much the pandas are loved and well cared for. To top it all off, Andie and our driver went above and beyond on our way back to Chengdu. My daughter was obsessed about these egg crepes, which are well-known street foods that we had learned about from YouTube. Andie made sure that we found a vendor that was one of the best in the city. Needless to say, my 13-year old was super happy. I highly recommend this tour company and our guide Andie. It was an unforgettable experience.

We had Robert as our... - We had Robert as our guide tour and he was amazing. Super friendly, very well knowledgeable and patient. We customized our entire tour to our preferences. He always asked us if we need something or had any questions. The experience was amazing to be so close to so many pandas and to learn many things about it. It's a tour I highly recommend and if you are lucky to get Robert, you won't be disappointed.

Panda volunteer - The vehicle was very comfortable to ride. They were great at communicating before the experience and arrived on time to take us for the day. Our guide was very sweet and super knowledgeable about the pandas and the habitat. Her English was excellent. We were well taken care of and enjoyed the day very much ! Don’t worry you do not work but have a lot of fun !
