Great experience to see the osndas

Kay_D, Sep 2025

Our guide Lily Sun and driver were great. The weather was terrible but it didn’t dampen the experience. Lily sold very good English and was knowledgeable. We moved between enclosures at the various feeding times to make the most of seeing the pandas feeding and moving. The park is well set out and my understanding it will be the biggest panda breeding programme shortly in China. We opted for lunch at the local village which was delicious and fun. A great few hours either the pandas.

Way too expensive for...

Sarah_M, Aug 2025

Way too expensive for what is advertised. This is not a research center. It is a zoo. Very sad. I saw pandas but in the condition I was told they would be in and they refused to acknowledge this. It is also over priced. The same tour was advertised for less than half the price. This is a scam be careful. Michael was a wonderful tour guide. Look after me very well

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Sarah, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d like to address some of the points you raised, as we feel your review may not fully reflect the value of the service provided. You booked a private tour for 800 RMB, which included a dedicated guide, private vehicle transportation, and a meal. We drove approximately 100 kilometers to the destination and another 100 kilometers on the return journey—a significant logistical commitment for a single guest. Regarding the panda experience, our tour description clearly states that this is a wild panda protection center housing around 15 pandas. As emphasized in our materials, sightings of pandas in the truly wild are exceptionally rare and never guaranteed. We’re glad you appreciated our guide’s service, but we hope you understand the costs involved: competitive guide fees, fuel, vehicle maintenance, and meal expenses significantly reduce our margin. You requested a 50% refund, questioning whether funds reach the pandas. While we support the panda center through entry fees, as a tour operator, we also cover staffing, operations, and business sustainability. Without fair compensation, we simply couldn’t continue offering this experience. We accommodated you as the sole guest despite operational challenges—many companies would have canceled. We prioritized your experience over profit, earning only ~100 RMB after costs. You mentioned finding a similar tour at half the price. Could you share details? Private tours for one person involve high fixed costs; we’d genuinely like to understand how such pricing is feasible. Our goal is to provide meaningful, well-managed experiences while supporting conservation. We stand by the quality of our guide and service and hope this clarifies our position. We’d welcome further discussion. Sincerely, Xi'an Food Tour

Superb morning with the Pandas

Kelly_H, Nov 2024

We had a fantastic morning with the Pandas! Our guide Lilly made contact with us 2 days earlier to provide confirmation of pick up and time and she was waiting for us in our hotel lobby as promised. Our transfer van was clean, tidy and modern and Lilly gave us a running commentary of the history of Xi'an and the sanctuary we were headed to. Lilly's knowledge was second to none and she was such a lovely and helpful person. At the end of our tour we were taken back to Xi'an for lunch at a famous noodle house where we had the best noodle soup which I cannot stop thinking about now! I highly recommend this tour, getting up early was hard but so worth it as the Pandas were all out and about and we got to see them all, even the very shy brown panda Qizai! Due to the early time we did not have to fight any crowds and got view all the animals without a problem. Thank you to all.

Boa excursão, porém muito cara

Nilton_I, Nov 2024

A excursão foi boa, o guia maravilhoso, explicou tudo para gente, falou historias da china, conversou, nos levou para almoçar em um restaurante local e etc, motorista e carro ótimos tambem. O que me fez dar a nota 4 foi o preço que foi pago, achei um valor muito alto pelo tempo e pelo que foi o passeio, é facilmente realizavel sozinho, só precisa do transporte até o local. Se fosse mais barato seria 5.
