Worthwhile once in a lifetime UNISCO site. Private car vs the hassle of tour bus. Driver was very accommodating and made extra s - The driver pickup at your hotel with private car. Its an independent tour be ready for a good hike. Driver made extra effort stops at our request. As per description, you have to pay for entry fees. If you are over 65 its free in most China national monuments. Its a UNSCO site that you will not missed.

Great choice - The best thing was our driver Shi Jianhua. On time, very friendly communicative and with a lot of predisposition. He helped us and accompanied us to book the boat tickets and to access the mountain on foot. Definitely highly recommended to take care of everything.

Easy way to get to the... - Easy way to get to the Leshan Buddha from Chengdu. The driver, Huang, was nice and helped us buy the tickets, and we could explore it on your own, which is nice. No pressure to rush. The price is a little expensive.

Private Driver Leshan Giant Buddha - Driver, Shi Jian Hua, arrived early with a smile. The vehicle was clean and equipped with air-conditioning with plenty of water if needed. He accompanied us through out the tour making sure we hit all the highlights. We never felt rushed. Shi Jian Hua was definitely a very experienced driver. We arrived there and back date and sound. Highly recommend!

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!
