Cora was wonderful and welcoming. She taught me about all the areas of the Pandas and the history of Leshan and the Giant Buddha. The driver was courteous. The car was immaculate.

I was looking for a tour to help us reach the Leshan Giant Buddha from Chengdu. And this tour was covering a little more, Panda Base being a secondary objective for us. The tour operator helped us to buy the entrance tickets to both attractions. The driver was also very helpful showing us what queues we should follow.

Fantastic Tour with Cora

Our guide was outstanding. The tea house is a real treat. And Victor took us to some really fun places to eat during the day. He was great and the day was a lot of fun. I rate Victor 5 stars but the overall tour only gets 4 stars because the Leshan Giant Buddha is a bit underwhelming. Cool, just not amazing. But the day was totally worth it.

Simply fabulous tour, particularly the old tea-house experience. My guide - Victor - was extraordinarily good. As a fellow photographer we shared much in common and he got me to the righ places at the right time for great photos. His passion, knowledge and professionalism was better than most guides I have had in China. Highly recommended
