Had a great tour with Liuji - he’s informative and very personable. No frills and easygoing trip. The panda base is very fun, he shared interesting facts and navigates the place smoothly ensuring you don’t get caught up in the crowd.
Thank you so much, Dixon! Really appreciate it 😊 Had a great time with you too. See you soon! 😄
Great experience with a fantastic guide. Very friendly and he answered all questions that we had. We saw many pandas in different locations. We definitely will come back and do the tour again.
Thank you so much, Georg! 😊 I’m really happy that you enjoyed your time in Chengdu. It would be wonderful to welcome you back again and show you more of this city next time. See you again! 🐼
We had two delightful days exploring Chengdu's highlights and the Panda Research Base with Ji. He introduced us to unique local social and food traditions including hotpot, a prized Sichuan dish. Ji's attentive, caring and relaxed attitude coupled with his knowledge and flexibility made our Chengdu experiences fun and truly memorable. We highly recommend these tours with Ji.
Thank you so much, Soody, I really enjoyed spending those two days with you. Our conversations about food, culture, and life were truly interesting, and I’m very happy that I could share some parts of Chengdu with you. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your stories with me. It was a pleasure getting to know you. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to see you again! 😊
It is a huge reserve, a very good experience to see nature, the pandas 🐼 and the red pandas!!! Excellent for all ages!!!
Thank you so much, Mariadel! 😊 It was a pleasure spending time with you and Ricardo. You were both so kind and friendly, and I really enjoyed our conversations. Thank you for sharing so many food recommendations with me, and also for the lovely dessert you brought from Greece. It was such a thoughtful surprise! Wishing you and Ricardo all the best, and I hope to see you again! 🐼
It was really nice to visit the panda base in Chengdu and experience how well the pandas were cared for by the staff. The pandas were able to be seen up close. Once in Chengdu it’s a unique must-do experience. Liuji is an excellent guide - professional and friendly! His English is excellent and he ensures everything is arranged efficiently beforehand. I decided to book this directly with Liuji given that he had also helped me with an airport transfer - once I met Liuji it was clear he was passionate about his city, China, and making sure all his guests are well looked after. He was responsive before, during, and after the trip. Please do book this tour - as you will not regret it.
Thank you so much, Daniel, It has been a real pleasure getting to know you. You are such a kind and thoughtful person, and I’ve really enjoyed our conversations. I’m glad we had the chance to meet, and I’m looking forward to spending more time with you in Chengdu tomorrow. 😊 See you soon!
Ji picked me up promptly at my hotel. He first texted me to confirm which made me confident that I picked the right tour. He made sure I toured the Panda reserve at the pace that I preferred. He has a modern, clean and comfortable car. I enjoyed our conversation in the car especially since we found out that we know the same Asian pop artists. I highly recommend this tour and Ji.
Thank you so much, Gisselle! 😊 Please remember to send me some pictures when you go to the BTS concert this weekend. I’d love to see it! 🎵😊
We had an amazing experience on this panda tour! Everything was well organized from start to finish, and the customer service was outstanding. Our tour guide was incredibly kind, super friendly, and made everyone feel welcome throughout the day. He was also very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts about the pandas and the local area, which made the tour even more enjoyable. My friend and I had such a wonderful time, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting—it was a fun, informative, and memorable experience.
Thank you so much, Zin! It was a pleasure showing you and Mya around the Panda Base. I’m very happy you both had such a wonderful time in Chengdu. Wishing you a great rest of your trip, and I hope to see you again someday!
