This was a repeat performance - to take the family to these two sites, both of which are important for anyone who enjoys traveling in China. This tour is an ideal solution for anyone who does not want the hassle of groups or incomprehensible "English-speaking" guides that you have to smile at all day out of politeness, while straining to understand what on earth they are wittering on about. The quality of this tour has not changed since my last visit in 2023 - the driver on this occasion, Huang Lin, was, just like her colleague, excellent, very safe and discreet, she left us in peace, but gave us all the support that we could have wanted by helping us to obtain the admission tickets to the Panda Centre and the Leshan Buddha. Excellent value for money. Altogether a very impressive, unforgettable day - but be prepared for a full day's tourism!

This was exactly as promised. A safe, pleasant, helpful driver to shuttle you to both the Panda Center and the Leshan Buddha. Lovely driver. He doesn’t speak English, but uses a translating application to converse. Realise this is just transportation. Do not expect a guide. If you’re looking for reliable transport to both sights look no further.

Chunhua was a fantastic driver who took great care of us! The car was comfortable and the ride was smooth and she was great company

Shi Jianhua is a great driver and a caring person. He gives a lot of attention and makes you comfortable. Thanks to Shi this tour was great.

We had an amazing day thanks to our driver Wuwei, he was extremely kind and explained to us many things about Chengdu and Leshan. We would definitely do it again!

Finding the right solution for this excursion to two of China's important tourist sites is not an easy task. This programme turned out to be the best solution for me and it offered excellent value for money. I saw that all of "the private tours with tour guide" are very expensive indeed (with entry and lunch included). However, what I needed was a private driver who could guide me to the entry points of the Panda Centre in Chengdu, as well as to the Giant Buddha in Leshan - but I did not want to have to listen to a guide all day or to be taken to some restaurant (or even shopping at selected merchants). I wanted privacy but independence. That is what I got at a much more reasonable price. I was picked up from the hotel in a comfortable limousine. I had the driver that everyone else has been praising on this site. He is indeed careful and smooth at the wheel, keeps his distance, and he steered us safely through a bout of some very heavy rain. He accompanied me to all of the ticket offices and, once I was equipped with all of the paper-work (paid myself), I was set to enjoy these impressive Chinese sights. It was a very successful occasion - but be prepared for a full day of tourism!

This trip to the panda sanctuary was fantastic. My driver, WuWei, arrived early and had a sign with my name on it. This allayed any fears about whose car I was going to get in. The pandas had just been fed. I got some amazing photos and videos which delighted my little heart. I posted 50 on Facebook and was afraid people would just "Like" and not look. My friends were as enamored with these black and white stuffed toys come to life as I was. I wanted to ride the trolley but ever figured out how. The Tea room was closed and unkept. :( The toilet I went in was dirty. The grounds were well-kept. Walking paths are peaceful and well-maintained. The animals for the most part seemed content--the pandas happily chomped on the bamboo stalks. I would definitely go again.

Our tour did not include an English speaking guide but the Chinese driver was more than efficient. He was very helpful and kind and gave us valuable information about Chengdu. Also safe driving which is not always the case in China.The car was very comfortable. The driver picks you up at the hotel and drives you back there. The Giant Buddha is amazing and you can either visit by boat or a short hike in the mountain. Definitely worth seen. This tour is highly recommended!

Wu was very nice and he cared about all the details, like taking me to have lunch at the best dumplings of Leshan. Some clarification that I was not aware is that you enter by yourself to the Buddha and to the Pandas.

This was a great trip to see the Pandas outside of the city. We enjoyed seeing the countryside. Our guide was great. He was full of interesting stories and facts and worked really hard to make everything just perfect. We enjoyed the Pandas immensely. We would highly recommend this trip and this tour operator. It was a great time and memorable experience. We truly appreciated the attention to detail,the communications and the effort put out by our driver/guide. My brother and I had a great time. Thank you!

Panda are adorable, the Chengdu panda Breeding Research Center is beautiful and very green. After panda base, we driving 1 hour to Sanxindui museum, few people here, bronze tree is fantastic.And our driver Mr Yan was very nice man, highly recommend he. Helpful and caring.

Great experience in Chengdu, our guide Katy did a fabulous job getting us to see the panda in panda base. Lots of people here, thanks to her we managed to see panda. I will recommend pandachinago travel company highly to my friends & family.Thanks for our driver, he is very friendly and helpful.

Because the hot weather, we only saw panda through the window from the air conditioner room. The 2 month baby panda was adorable. Our driver was very helpful and friendly, he always supply us a cold water. Enjoyed the rental car service from pandachinago. Thanks!!!

We saw around 23 panda at the Chengdu panda base, they are so cute. We enjoyed a nice meal at the bamboo restaurant in panda base, highly recommend dishes: beef fry with onion. After lunch we have a Chengdu city tour, the bonsai garden are very beautiful, we love Chengdu, amazing food and friendly people. We will come back for panda volunteer.

From Chengdu panda Breeding Research Center,about 3 hours driving to giant buddha, the rivers was flood, but we are lucky, the boats still working. Around 25 minuets on the boat, the boat stop in front of the Buddha, we have time take pictures here.The giant buddha was 71 meters tall, very magnificent. The temperature 34 °C, hot and humidity, if have choice, not coming the end of the July and beginning of the August.
