Description
Dazu Rock Carvings have been a must-go highlight ever since being inscribed on UNESCO world heritage list in 1999, most travelers would do only Baoding carvings which is the major site of entire Dazu rock carvings, they need more time for souvenir shops.
Matter of fact lots fascinating but forgotten hidden ancient carvings sites still await us all over this area, We did lots field work on it, we drove through the country side, talk to the villagers, gained first-hand stories. Then we picked up some outstanding ones for our travelers, no tour bus would be there, we will be the special visitors.
We focus on private tour service, make our clients travel like a local.
You also need a friendly and sophisticated guide and a safe driver to do critical help, a driver-guide who knows both Chinese culture and how to do a safe, joyful and professional guiding job will be your choice.

A great experience!
It was an all-around great experience! The guide Legend speaks perfect English, was punctual, helpful, and the tour was very informative. He also answered general questions about the country. For lunch, there was an authentic hot pot in the countryside, which was incredibly delicious and an experience in itself.
The "Dazu Rock Carvings" are absolutely worth seeing. Our (high) expectations were exceeded.
The car is almost new, clean, and luxuriously equipped. Legend's driving style is considerate and safe (not a given in China ;-)).
Absolute recommendation!

A+ tour and A++ tour guide
Legend was the perfect tour guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and I could tell he wanted us to have an amazing time. I got so much more out of visiting Dazu with Legend. Had I gone on my own, I wouldn't have enjoyed Dazu as much.

Well planned day tour to Dazu (大足) and Anyue (安岳)rock carvings
The entire day was well spent at Dazu and Anyue rock carvings. Our guide, Legend Gong is very friendly and the itinerary was very well planned. It was also very comfortable as we were chauffeured in our own transport (vs having to wait for other tourists in buses that can lead to delays). The lunch included was at a local restaurant, simple food but very delicious! I highly recommend small groups of travellers.
