Awesome trip, highly recommend! Mark was great, very knowledgeable, great English and made sure we got to the important sites early before the crowds. Pandas were amazing, we saw at least 15 giant pandas and 8 red pandas up close. Mark also gave us information about the pandas and there was time to stop for a drink or snack. The lunch was fantastic, a huge banquet of food all for less than 10 Australian dollars. Would have been at least 10 dishes to share, and all really delicious and good quality. The final stop was the Buddha at Lushan. This was extremely busy and very strenuous walking up and down many flights of steep stairs, so pack your walking shoes, but it was fantastic to see. Mark was great, he actually took us on a loop walk so that we looped back to the head of the big Buddha after all the crowds had left and we had a second chance to snap photos and see the Buddha without the crowds. This was a huge bonus, thanks Mark. Great tour, well organised and thoughtful, would definitely recommend to all!!

My tour guide was wonderful and I had a very special experience. Her knowledge of Chinese culture and poetry was very impressive and she was very patient with me. I will return and hope to enjoy more of Chengdu.

Don’t visit in summer or autumn - too hot for pandas and very limited and controlled enclosure viewings. Very large park set up for mass tourists and a lot of walking involved. There was a golf buggy shuttle available but long lines and wait times involved. Not great when you only have a AM or PM ticket session window at the park. It was about 30 deg C day and we arrived 10am and were done by 12pm. Signs were up at all enclosures saying due to heat pandas were inside and viewing lines were controlled walk throughs. Our contact time with a giant panda would have been about 1 min each for three sightings though glass. If wasn’t for the the red pandas this would have been a one star review. Panda Valley in Dujiangyan (run by same company) is a much much better experience.

Very hot day - they put the pandas inside some small, cage like enclosures with 3 concrete walls and one window for tourists to take photos through. Even arriving an hour early, I was met by a very exhausting throng of tourists both domestic and foreign. I felt sorry for the pandas in their small cages, and myself for putting myself through the experience. The overlooked red pandas were gorgeous, underrated, and the one saving grace of the base.

Well organized, the guide helped us to the best areas to see pandas, which was great. Nice stop for lunch. The giant Buddha was great. I was afraid of the long time in the car combining the two, but with the level of confort provided it went by fast and was really worth it!

I bought two tickest. One for the Panda Breeding Research and one for the Chengdu Sichuan Opera. Both were perfect organized and by Andy perfect explained and described. The communication in perfect way by WhatsApp. BR Gunter

Do not go first week of May. Is China holiday, very very crowded. It is advisable to go Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base during weekday and not Public holiday in China.

Booking thru Trip Advisor was so efficient and thankfully, this activity was booked only a day prior to schedule (already unavailable in KKDay and Klook). April 4 was a national holiday, there’s a huge number of visitors but you can have time to watch panda, many of them at different locations in the park.

Andy was really friendly and helpful, very efficient in replying on WeChat. The whole experience was very smooth - Andy booked the tickets using our passports, no issues with entry. We were picked up by a great driver, who arrived promptly and was also very friendly. Andy was flexible in arranging drop off at Tianfu airport after the Panda Base. Would book another tour with this team.

We also booked the Opera House with Andy. Andy has been very prompt and booked for us tickets very swiftly and fuss free! We had a smooth time entering the places and managed to have a great time!

he panda base is nice, a beautiful park it’s a shame the weather was cold and everything was written in Chinese without any translation, made it a bit hard to get an orientation. Besides the park, Andy was amazing to organise everything I had an amazing full day out and I enjoyed every step in Chengdu thanks to his advice and his organisation with transports and communication. Andy is a great man and I recommend everyone to get him to organise your day in chengdu you won’t regret anything 👍 Thanks Andy for all the patience :)

The driver so nice and be punctual. We have wonderful experience here, panda so cute!!! How could you visit Chengdu without seeing panda!

The drama so funny. It will provides you a lot of Chinese drama including changing face. Worth it !!! Nice to feel like ancient people seeing drama.

I bought two tickets last minute and Andy was very efficient and fast to complete the not simple advance reservation procedure that allowed us to enter in the Center on time for the noon turn. We really enjoyed this visit in the Panda Center and we're grateful with Andy because without his help most probably we wouldn't be able to reserve the tickets, especially last minute.

Thanks to Andy for the Ticket. Easy way to Get a Ticket. Take Subway to Panda Avenue and change there to Shuttlebus you will See in Station. Huge Area, Green , quiet and Big Pandas will watching you.
