Enjoyable tour for my family - Our experience with Ji was was great. Everything was prepared ahead of time for us including tickets/admission fee and the ride. His communication with me was perfect, having received a message straight after I booked and was able to accomodate multiple hotels for my parents. The ride was smooth for the 5 of us and the tour itself was great - we could tell that he was knowledgable and knew where to take us. It didnt go for too long or too short and we were able to catch Hua Hua early as the first stop to avoid the big crowds as he suggested.

Pandas, Buddha, and the Gem of Chengdu - I had a very brief stay in Chengdu, and in order to make the most of my visit, I arranged this tour with Lui Ji. From booking to pick-up to drop-off, the experience was absolute perfection. Ji is a wonderful guide--super friendly, highly intelligent, and attentive to a fault. He offered remarkable insight into the attractions and provided excellent tips for attaining the best vantage points for seeing the pandas as well as the Great Buddha. The tour itself is also marvelous, and I felt I had a deeper understanding of Chinese history, culture, and ecology at the end of the scintillating day. We also had a fabulous lunch featuring local Leshan cuisine. I take five to ten private tours internationally each year, and without exaggeration, my day with Ji easily ranks among my best ever. If you are in Chengdu, schedule a tour with Lui Ji. Your trip is guaranteed to be enriched.

A Fantastic Memorable Experience - We had an absolutely fantastic experience visiting the pandas, made even better by our wonderful tour leader, Ji. Seeing the pandas is a must-do in Chengdu, and we couldn’t recommend Ji highly enough to guide you through the experience. His expertise and engaging conversations made the visit truly memorable, and we’re incredibly appreciative of everything he shared with us!

那些可爱的熊猫 - I had a great experience with Ji, the pickup was smooth and Ji was patient to allow me to grab the passport I forgot. It was refreshing to have a knowledgeable local sharing information - not just limited to pandas, but all things Chengdu and Sichuan. Definitely a memorable experience I will treasure and these exchanges are what really make the trip for me.

The best Panda 🐼 tour in Chengdu - Ji contacted me right away after I booked the panda tour, and we went to the panda centre. I have learnt a lot from Ji about China, and the Chinese culture. He also advised me on how to travel in China, apps to use and places to go. I highly recommend this private tour if you want to see Pandas and learn about China. Ji is an awesome guide.

Excellent private tour option for Chengdu - We did private guided tours in Chengdu, including a visit to the Panda base. Our guide Mr. Gi did a professional job, his good English helped us not only enjoy the tours, but also learn a lot about China. I would recommend him to any visitors of Chengdu.
