Fantastic trip with such a knowledgeable guide BELLA was awesome. She and the driver took care of us an made sure we were both comfortable and nothing was too much trouble...Bella is a lovely young lady .thank you. Martin & Tess
Thanks for your lovely feedback, Martin & Tess! Bella truly goes above and beyond to make every guest feel comfortable and cared for. She'll be overjoyed that you appreciated her knowledge and warmth. So glad you had a fantastic trip!
Claire was very flexible and taught us a lot about Chengdu, pandas and the Leshan Buddha. We really enjoyed the tea house she brought us to with friends. A very thoughtful touch was her welcome panda headbands arranging our breakfast-to-go for our early departing flight!
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! Claire will be over the moon to read your kind words. We're so glad she was able to share her knowledge of Chengdu, pandas, and the Leshan Buddha with you, and that you enjoyed the teahouse experience. Those thoughtful touches—like the panda headbands and arranging breakfast for your early flight—are just the kind of care Claire loves to offer. Thanks again for joining us, and hope to see you on another adventure soon!
Our guide, Claire, was informative and punctual. We enjoyed tea at a teahouse like to locals. The pandas did not disappoint and Claire outlined the optimal time and exhibits for great variety. We then traveled to the Leshan Buddha, which was a lovely walk. Thanks for a memorable experience.
Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad she helped you catch the pandas at their best, guided you through the Leshan Buddha, and even gave you a taste of local tea culture. It sounds like the perfect mix of nature, culture, and relaxation. Thanks again for joining us.
We visited many interesting points in Chengdu and Claire was our guide. She was outstanding: kind and professional, resourceful and helpful, knowledgeble and precise. Both - the city and the guide - must enter your plans in China.
Dear guest, thank you for taking the time to rate our travel service. We are very pleased to receive your praise for our guide. There is nothing better than seeing that you enjoyed your trip. Best regards from TravelChinaGuide Tours.
We took a day tour with our guide Connie. You're a super guide, really great. He speaks great English we all understood and then he showed us everything in detail even though our tour lasted longer than expected. In the end he even booked us a restaurant and drove us there to get us a nice table and, exceptionally, a small private show of local dances. We all loved Connie, with a kindness and expertise she showed us the big budda to her Shane and then we stayed at the ancient city Huanglongxi. Simply FANTASTIC!

Pandas are so cute, but best not to go in July/Aug since really hot, humid and crowded. Leshan Buddha was really interesting. 2 1/2 hr drive to get there, but was worth it. Was too hot to climb the 300 stairs to get to the base, so we did the boat ride which gives you almost same view. My tour guide Joy was so sweet, helpful, and had excellent English. Took me to one of the best meals of my trip. Gave me several little panda themed gifts. Highly recommend this tour!

Travel China Guide were excellent from the initial booking arrangements (Moon) through to the tour. Our guide Linney is a really lovely person, very knowledgeable (answered every question, and we asked lots!) and has perfect English. Both the panda base and Leshan exceeded our expectations. The driver was very careful and his vehicle was clean and spacious. Thank you for a great day!
