It was a seamless experience with Marina, she is a cheerful and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended. Had a great experience with the Pandas. When in Chengdu, this is a must do activity.

We had a wonderful day trip to visit the panda and Leshan Big Buddha with our guide Pax. Thanks for answering our questions and being so patient. Big shout out to our driver for our safe journey! ❤️
Such a fun, chill tour and our driver and guide, Pax, were great! Would recommend!
Leah is the best guide. She was kind and professional throughout the whole experience. She was very well informed about the attractions we were going to see and explained everything in details also providing local tips and curiosities. The experience was great although the price was too high. Also, the price shown on getyourguide does comprehend only the south entrance of the park, which is the most crowded and with less pandas, while the west entrance was the best option but it’s price was not included and we had to pay 35 RMB each to go. The suggestion by the guide to go there was great because it was way better, but we didn’t expect to pay more for it since we already paid that much. Leshan Buddha experience was great and it was awesome. Just be informed that it takes 2 hours drive to reach that and 2 more to come back. Also, lunch is not included and no snack is provided for the entire day. Besides those things we had a terrific day and we would recommend Leah to everybody as a guide. Thank you!
Awesome experience! With Leah as our guide we didn't miss a single giant panda or red panda. We had a lot of fun!!
Today, my family and I went on an excursion to the Chengdu Panda Base and the Giant Buddha of Leshan, and the experience was wonderful. We had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the entire day! Without a doubt, the best part of the excursion was our tour guide, Marina. She is a lovely, friendly person who showed great enthusiasm for her work. She was attentive to us throughout the entire day, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Her positive energy, kindness, and passion made the day even more special. We are taking home wonderful memories of this excursion and would especially like to thank Marina for her dedication and the warm, personal attention she gave us. Highly recommended, and Marina is truly a five-star guide!
Marina was the most amazing guide. Great energy and very good English. The pandas were amazing and she knew where to take us to avoid the tourists. Also the Buddha statue was magnificent
Very nice experience! We were in family with our 5 years old daughter! Shirley is very nice and explained all in detail! We had chance to see a lot of Panda then we went to see Buddha from boat! Only thing be prepared to long queue to take the boat for the Buddha
Shirley was a really nice guide. Her explanations to the Culture of Sichuan province were tremendous.
It was a very nice experience and the Guide very nica
Wonderful experience further enhanced by our jovial n knowledgeable guide Marina (圆㘣), She is very patient n caring. Enjoy the tour much.
We had the greatest experience thanks to our guide Marina. She made us feel very taken care of, also she made sure we saw as many giant pandas and red pandas as possible and that we had the best view of the Leshan Buddha. Thanks to her explanations we learned a lot, not only about the things that we were visiting but also about Chinese culture. She was very professional and kind.
Amazing experience!! great value, and very professional staff. Amazing tour guide saves us lots of time and ensures. We see all of the key sites. 100% will do it again.
Wonderful trip. Great guide and amazing Driver. Amazing value for money. A must do for anyone visiting Chengdu!!
The guide, Marina, that we strongly recommend, is very professional and she really takes care of the guests. Full of energy, very kind and always with a smile. We deeply enjoyed the experience and we also learned a lot from her. She is able to involve the guests with her passion. A very positive feedback!
The experience was amazing, since in the morning when we met Marina was already very welcome, explaining everything in details and answering any questions we had. During the panda she was just as excited to see them with us, helping us finding them and explaining their habits and environment. And during the Buddha statue she guided us nicely where to go or when to pose, also showing the sleeping Buddha that sometimes might not be able visible because of the water levels that we lucky did see it. In general was a really an amazing experience with her and or driver Ma who droves through all of it in a very calm way and made sure or things were safe. 10/10
Marina was absolutely perfect! She gave us a lot of interesting information about panda!
Our guide (Shirley) has been very kind and she explained everything that is important. Both places were beautiful, the only complaint is that they are kind far. I love panda and red panda too. It was breathtaking Buda Stone, absolutely worthwhile
This is a great experience if you like pandas and want to visit the Buddha, which I fully recommend. It's quite a small group and the explanations from Shirley, our tour guide, were wonderful They pick you up at the city center and you hace plenty of time to visit both attractions, plus eating in a local service area, which was quite yummy All in all, quite close to a 10/10!
A five stars tour! Marina has been an amazing guide. She is so nice, kind, and has been explaining us all the curiousities about pandas and the giant Buda. The tour is very easy with the van waiting for us in everywhere on time. We strongly recommend this tour and better if Marina is the guide.
Thanks a lot to our guide, Marina. She was very kindly everytime and she explain us all about panda reserve and budda Leshan. It was a pleasure to live this experience. Totally recommended. If we will come back to Chengdu, we will repeat it for sure :)
Marina is very kind and happyness
Perfect experience! Rainy day and many many pandas! Wonderful! The guide Marina was always very helpful and informative. We had enough time to enjoy both the panda breeding center and the Buddha by boat. Highly recommended!
At first I thought I was going to be late as I was getting the subway to the meeting point, I finally got there and was reassured I am still ok for the tour as driver was still to get here. I met our guide Shirley and a lovely couple, just the four of us. Shirley was the best from the get go, she was informative and knew all the answers to our questions which I loved as I was really interested. Her english is great, very helpful and just fabulously insightful, thank you so much for this mini tour!! Highly recommend Shirley! Thanks also to our driver! 🥰
Excelent experience, we recomend a lot this tour. Katy 10/10.
Had an enjoyable experience visiting the pandas and then the Buddha in Leshan. Our tour guide Pax messaged before hand and was very clear and helpful throughout. His English was great and he taught us some interesting facts about pandas and shared some history about the Buddha too. The panda place was a little busy but it was good to have Pax there to guide us to the right spots so we could see them clearly.
Pax was very personable and flexible. He brought us to stops and even helped us negotiate prices. Very nice guide.
It was a very entertaining tour, thanks to the comfort, efficiency, and knowledge of the guide. His name is Pax, and he organized everything so we could see the sights quickly and safely without wasting any time. We loved his explanations; he really cared about making sure we understood everything he was sharing and made every effort to communicate with us. It was a great choice—we were delighted with both the tour and Pax.
An extraordinary day with Pax, the best guide. He explained everything with great interest, we could see the pandas and the Buddha. We recommend this tour with Pax.
Vivian was great! It ended up being a private tour, so we could move at our own pace. She was very knowledgable
It was a great experience!!! It was worth all the money and time. Our guide was very kind, attentive, and wonderful in every way! Highly recommended
Excellent Tour! We had a great time
Shirley is an excellent guide. The trip to the Pandas was magnificent. She gave us enough time to see several pandas. The Buddha of Leshan also gave us sufficient explanations.
Our guide Marina was attentive at all times to whatever we might need. Providing useful and interesting information throughout the entire excursion. It was a tour where we saw everything expected in a very comfortable way. We would do it again, without a doubt!
Beautiful experience. I booked for both excursions. Martina, our guide, speaks excellent English and was very good at explaining the life of the pandas to us and finding the right path to let us see the pandas eating. In the afternoon we saw the Big Buddha and thanks to her advice we managed not to wait in line for hours and hours. Highly recommended!!
The excursion is amazing, both the pandas in the morning and the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is very impressive. But the best part was the team: the guide Marina is lovely and explains everything great, and the driver is a legend, he drives super well and you are very comfortable. Perfect organization and no stress. Highly recommended!
Our guide Marina made sure everything was perfect. We saw the pandas and the Buddha very well. She was very efficient and her explanations were very clear. The driver was also very good. We loved both places.
The guide was very good and helpful with everything, we had a great time!!
Incredible experience!! A full-day adventure starting from Chengdu. We started by seeing the pandas and then left to see the Leshan Giant Buddha. Shirley was the best part of the experience. Very nice, super friendly, she told us everything and brought us closer to her city, her customs, her food, her history...
Excellent experience! Slightly expensive for the China standard, but we had transportation from the city center to the Panda Base and then two hours to Leshan. Our guide, Shirley, was very good at advising us where to go in the Panda Base and then she advised us to take the boat to see the Buddha which is much better.
Marina was an excellent guide, I recommend it one hundred percent; they took us on the excursions and took care of us. It felt like a VIP trip.
It has been a spectacular experience and with the guide Marina, who is very nice. Highly recommended.
An excellent experience Our guide Marina knew how to best handle an unforeseen event that happened with the bus
Very well organized excursion. The guide Marina was very nice and knowledgeable
It was a happy trip to Chengdu and Leshan with Marina Guide.
Excellent tour. New vehicle. The guide takes care of everything.
It was a very interesting excursion. The guide knew every corner of the panda base and since it was raining a lot, there weren't many people. Apparently, pandas love the rain. The Leshan Giant Buddha was wonderful. A 10/10.
