Giant Panda y Buddha 1 day tour

Our guide Abby was truly incredible Sheldon was also super helpful right from the start in helping us organize everything, and the driver was super nice.

My son (17 yo) and I took this day trip with Daisy. She was an amazing guide. Telling us all about the Panda and Buddhist culture. We saw a lot of very active pandas then headed on the 2 hour drive to Leshan. It was such a smooth ride by our driver Mr Chow. The Buddha was amazing to see from the short ferry ride. Then we stopped for lunch on a good street in Leshan. Such a fun experience! Daisy also provided tips for after she dropped us in central Chengdu. A wonderful experience and so easy for us. Highly recommend this tour and Daisy as an exceptional guide!

We were very pleased with our guide, Abby. Her English is very good, she has good communication skills, and she goes above and beyond to make your trip enjoyable.

We had an amazing day doing this trip we were picked up from our hotel at the agreed time and taken into Chengdu to meet our guide. From there we headed off to the Panda Base where we had to queue for around 20 minutes to get in. Once inside we saw some Red Pandas first before going on and seeing 11 Giant Pandas it was an incredible experience. We were then taken to Leshan which took around 2 hours, first we stopped off at a lovely local restaurant for lunch which only cost 120 RMB. Before heading off to see the Giant Buddha which was truly amazing, we were then dropped back in Chengdu (at our request). Our guide and driver were great and we would recommend this tour.

Both locations were well worth the visit. Sophie was a great guide, good quality van and safe driver. The boat was the best option for seeing the giant Buddha

We had an amazing day! The pandas and Budda are not to be missed! Our guide, Abby, couldn’t have been better. She is so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We would definitely recommend!!

This tour was fantastic !! We were met on time in our hotel lobby by our wonderful guide, Abby. She was so warm and friendly from the very beginning, we felt perfectly at ease. Her wealth of knowledge about the pandas and the operation of the panda base was stunning. My wife and I learned a lot of new things about pandas and were happy to know they have such a place of importance in Chinese culture. Our driver, Chow, was also very friendly and provided excellent transportation. During our ride to Leshan, Abby provided an in-depth history of the Buddha and added some interesting anecdotes about the area. We had a wonderful lunch before the visit to the Buddha and she chose some excellent dishes for us to try. We strongly recommend U2panda for any tour from Chengdu, and particularly, Abby, the best tour guide ever. !!

Lois took us to the Chengdu panda base and we loved it. We went on a cool day in the morning so the pandas were very active! Lois knows a lot about pandas! After a great morning we took a 90 minute ride to the giant budha. A perfect restaurant for a tasty lunch, then a short boat ride to see the carved monument up close. A 90 minute drive home completed a full day. Thanks Lois!

One of my favourite days in China - I have lived here for 2 years. The panda sanctuary was great and to see them being looked after was amazing. We went in the morning and beat the huge crowds. Seeing the Leshan Giant Buddha was also magnificent- it truly is one of the seven wonders of China. Our tour guide Abby spoke better English than us and was incredibly helpful answering all our questions and giving us the facts about the two sites. I would recommend to everyone but go in the winter and in the morning!!!

We had a full day excursion to see the Panda base reserve and the Giant Buddha. Our guide, Abby, was punctual, kind, and provided us with all the information we needed covering both activities and general information about Chengdu and China. We also had a personal driver, who drove safely and was very nice. We highly recommend this excursion!
