A magnificent tourist experience

Our driver Shi Jianhua was very helpful, kind, attentive, and approachable from the first minute. He took us to the Panda reserve first and then to the Leshan Giant Buddha. The car came equipped with water, juice, and cookies, as well as ponchos (since it was raining) to make the trips more pleasant, and he even stopped at a restaurant we told him to stop at to eat something. 100% recommended

An intense but rewarding day

Done on August 7th. Our driver was Yellin; she drives very well and easily overcomes the language barrier by using technology. She used a very nice car, with leather interiors and an amazing satellite navigation system that shows, with a top-down view, everything moving around, including pedestrians!

Thank you for your feedback! Wishing you and your family all the best!

The best day with our driver Wang Tao

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, took it at our own pace, no rushing with a tour guide and chose the things we wanted to see. Relaxing day and the driver Wang Tao was excellent, extremely professional and informative. Highly recommend

Awesome Private tour

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Private Tour! Our Panda, Leshan Buddha, and private tour was absolutely fantastic, and a huge part of that was our driver, Liu Yuan. He was incredibly kind, professional, and made the entire day feel effortless. His translations were excellent, which made communication easy and helped us better appreciate everything we were seeing.

The best time!

Our driver was so kind and accommodating! We got to ride in a very spacious and comfortable vehicle, and he took us around and was kind enough to extend our trip to end at a later time, so we could spend more of our day around both landmarks. :)
