Had an amazing time provided by Joy and Chen who guided us to an incredible lunch and exploring. 10/10!
Smooth driving, punctual hotel pickup and easy communication with the tour guide. Our guide Joy knew all the hidden gems and a really beautiful path in Dujiangyan with limited tourists to give us a great view and help us appreciate China’s beautiful landscape! Lunch was really good and Joy picked some really great dishes for us. She was so kind and willing to share her experience of life in Chengdu as a local, and was knowledgeable about the irrigation system’s history. Highly recommend!
Operator response
That "hidden gems" and "limited tourists" part – that's exactly what years of experience and constant refinement give you. Dujiangyan is spectacular, but the real magic happens when you see it at the right time, from the right angle, away from the crowds. We don't follow guidebooks; we listen to travelers, adjust constantly, and design routes that balance the must-sees with quiet, breathtaking moments you wouldn't find on your own. And behind every smooth day is a team that makes sure your guide can focus entirely on you – not on logistics. So glad the experience delivered exactly that. Come back anytime!

Pandas, food, pagoda, dam
Great guide who showed us around and helped us dramatically, 100% would recommend again sights where incredible and guide amazing
Operator response
Thank you for the kind words! It's wonderful to hear that the day left such a strong impression – wildlife, engineering marvels, local flavors, and cultural landmarks all in one go. Making that mix feel effortless rather than packed is something we've carefully refined over time. We run these routes regularly, not to become routine, but to understand exactly how to pace them so each stop gets the attention it deserves without the day feeling rushed. And of course, a guide who genuinely enjoys sharing their home city makes all the difference. We're so glad you had that experience. Hope to welcome you back!

We are a family of 4, beautiful start of the trip at the Panda base followed by the irrigation system, a must see of Chendgu area too.
Perfect service by Nick, our tour guide, and the driver.
