The experience was amazing, since in the morning when we met Marina was already very welcome, explaining everything in details and answering any questions we had. During the panda she was just as excited to see them with us, helping us finding them and explaining their habits and environment. And during the Buddha statue she guided us nicely where to go or when to pose, also showing the sleeping Buddha that sometimes might not be able visible because of the water levels that we lucky did see it. In general was a really an amazing experience with her and or driver Ma who droves through all of it in a very calm way and made sure or things were safe. 10/10
Marina was absolutely perfect! She gave us a lot of interesting information about panda!
Incredible experience!! A full-day adventure starting from Chengdu. We started by seeing the pandas and then left to see the Leshan Giant Buddha. Shirley was the best part of the experience. Very nice, super friendly, she told us everything and brought us closer to her city, her customs, her food, her history...
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your day trip from Chengdu to see pandas and Leshan Giant Buddha. Shirley always loves sharing local culture, food and history with travelers. We hope to welcome you again soon
Our guide (Shirley) has been very kind and she explained everything that is important. Both places were beautiful, the only complaint is that they are kind far. I love panda and red panda too. It was breathtaking Buda Stone, absolutely worthwhile
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted that Shirley gave you such thoughtful and detailed guidance, and that you loved the pandas as well as the spectacular Leshan Giant Buddha. We totally understand that the journey between the two scenic spots is a long ride. We will keep optimizing our tour arrangements to bring you a more comfortable trip. Hope to welcome you again someday!
This is a great experience if you like pandas and want to visit the Buddha, which I fully recommend. It's quite a small group and the explanations from Shirley, our tour guide, were wonderful They pick you up at the city center and you hace plenty of time to visit both attractions, plus eating in a local service area, which was quite yummy All in all, quite close to a 10/10!
Thank you very much for your perfect review! We are overjoyed that you loved our small-group tour and Shirley’s vivid explanations. It’s our priority to arrange sufficient sightseeing time and authentic local food for every guest. We really appreciate your high rating and can’t wait to serve you again when you come back to Chengdu!
Excellent experience! Slightly expensive for the China standard, but we had transportation from the city center to the Panda Base and then two hours to Leshan. Our guide, Shirley, was very good at advising us where to go in the Panda Base and then she advised us to take the boat to see the Buddha which is much better.
Grazie mille per la tua recensione positiva! Siamo felici che Shirley ti abbia dato consigli utili per visitare la base dei panda e ammirare il Buddha dalla barca, la vista migliore possibile. Teniamo conto del tuo commento riguardo al prezzo e cercheremo di migliorare costantemente le nostre offerte. Speriamo di rivederti presto in Sichuan!
A five stars tour! Marina has been an amazing guide. She is so nice, kind, and has been explaining us all the curiousities about pandas and the giant Buda. The tour is very easy with the van waiting for us in everywhere on time. We strongly recommend this tour and better if Marina is the guide.
Thanks for your lovely feedback! Glad you had a great tour with Marina and our punctual van service. We’ll share your kind words with Marina. Looking forward to seeing you again.
