Great trip!! - Booked our trip with Lilly - who was fantastic at communicating with us. Yana was our tour guide and she was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and knew where to take us to see the Pandas and got great photos at the Buddha. Also - the lunch was one of the best - we told her what types of food we liked and she orders an amazing meal for us - we even tried the preserved eggs. Highly recommend this tour!

Great guide and smoothly experience - We had a great experience with our tour guide and driver. Lin (Amber) is a very sympathetic person, very knowledgeable and patient. With her deep experience, she helped us to going through the mobs smoothly. Panda experience was unforgettable since we could see some of them eating and playing outside. The Giant Buddha was also very interesting, despite the distance that we had to go through (almost 2 hours). Considering the distance of the 2 attractions, I recommend the tour, which makes possible to see both in the same day.

Amazing Tour Guide Compamy - WestChinaGo is an amazing company and Lily proved to be a responsible, friendly and knowledgeable guide and proprietor. She arranged two toursChengdu and Xi'an. I felt an instant connection meeting her in Chengdu and valued her understanding or her city's sites and people nuianced in her personal history and culture. She also arranged the tour in Xi'an with an excellent guide, Stone. I would highly recommend WestChinaGo to anyone looking for a flexible, personalized tour in China.... the professiional care, depth of knowledge and kind attention will impress you.

Great way to spend a day - Great day trip if you're short on time in Chengdu, my guide Lucy + our driver were both excellent. She knew the best ways to see as many pandas as possible in the time we had, and it was wonderful to have someone handling translations, tickets, food ordering, etc. Highly recommend!

Excellent! - We used Westchinago for our tours in Chengdu and Beijing, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this company. Lily Chen was our main point of contact, and she did an outstanding job organizing everything. She's highly professional, extremely knowledgeable about travel across China, and really understood our preferences. Communication with her was seamless and efficient. Lily arranged all our tours with great attention to detail. The guides provided were excellent—fluent in English, informative, and incredibly helpful throughout. The vehicles were spotless, comfortable, and driven by skilled, courteous drivers. After spending a month touring China, I can confidently say that Westchinago is the best tour operator we encountered. My only regret is not using their services in other cities beyond Chengdu and Beijing.

Great full day Panda and Buddha tour! - Wonderful full day tour to see the highlights of the surrounding area. We went in the morning to see the pandas which were adorable. There was even a 4 month old out soaking up the sunshine. Then we had a spectacular local lunch in Leshan followed by a hike of the magnificent giant Buddha. Our guide Sharlene couldn’t have been more lovely. Her English was excellent and we learned a lot at each step of the journey. Her food recommendations for lunch were also very helpful and we learned a lot about local delicacies as an added bonus!

So many adorable pandas - Chengdu Giant Panda Base is the closest one to the city center, as compared to a few others (e.g., Dujiangyan and Wolong), with plenty of cute pandas to observe. I went on a rainy day and many pandas were out and about, super adorable. Observed two panda cubs feeding on the mom and mom got tired of them and tried to push them off, very cute. Compared to the panda base, the giant buddha is a much longer drive (2+ hours) and not as memorable, but still a must-see. Guide Rosa is very knowledgeable and demonstrated a genuine fondness for the pandas, even after years of guiding guests to the different panda bases.
