Amazing One Day Tour in Chengdu!

denisosterreich, Jan 2026

I was very excited to have an opportunity to visit Chengdu during my short stay in Chongqing. Everything in the tour was smooth, convenient, and pleasant, including the transfer from my hotel to the railway station in Chongqing. The tour guide in Chengdu, Perry, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot from him and I have also had a lot of fun throughout the tour. And lastly, I really appreciated how the tour company has accommodated my needs for the tour. Much appreciated ! And highly recommended !

Bad timing

Ton_N, Aug 2025

We started the morning at the panda base and rushed through it while unfortunately not seeing much, because due to the hot weather all the pandas were inside. While this is not something the tour guide can influence, it's a risk travelers in the summer should be aware of. When I mentioned I wanted to buy panda souvenirs, the tour guide led me to a shop outside which was owned a by her friend, under the guise of being "cheaper and higher quality". I did not like the selection and in hindsight should have asked to go to the panda base's official shop. After exiting the panda base we had to wait almost 45 minutes for the driver to pick us up again. Apparently it was so crowded he could not find a parking spot, but the waiting time defeats the purpose of a private driver. The guide said we did not have enough time and removed Wenshu Yuan Monastery from the itinerary. We did go to Kuanzhai Alley and People's Park, where we finished at 4 PM after relaxing at a tea house for a full hour. I found this strange as the return train ticket was booked for 7:20 PM, so there was a lot of time to kill. After I inquired and the tour guide called with the organizer, she agreed to show me around the shopping area until 5:30 PM. However, I would have rather spent more time in the panda base or visit the monastery in the morning. I reached the train station at 6 PM and waited another full hour. Looking back, I probably would not have paid for the tour and would plan something myself.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you very much for your feedback, Mr. Ton, very sorry to hear that you were some dissatisfied with tour, your guide Cindy, 58 years old, used to work as English teacher in a high school for over 30 years, she is a very responsible and sensitive person, at this moment, The World Games is being held in Chengdu, the city government consider this is top priority issue for the city, a lot of traffic control and road blocks in the city, she was so worried about you would miss your train back because of traffic control, such as took quite a long time for the driver found one spot to pick you up outside the panda center, that’s why she skip the Wenshu Temple, but when you finished sightseeing and tea at People’s Park, still had time, you suggested go to visit the Chengdu Museum and Chengdu East Station by yourself, she insisted on accompanying you walked till Chunxilu and Taikoo Lee, she also mentioned to other guides that she met a very energetic young man, and felt that she was not old and in good health.
