We were 3 foreign passport travelers who live in Shanghai and spent 3 days with MyPanda Tour with Jun, our driver, visiting Emei, Qingcheng and the panda base. To arrange our itinerary, Alvin, was very helpful, responsive and assisted with all kinds of details since travel after COVID is a bit more complicated now in China. Alvin was flexible as our plans changed and also gave recommendations of other places to visit. During the 3 days, Jun, our driver, was prompt, friendly, well prepared, and took us to off beaten path places to eat and recommendations in the city. Upon arrival at each place, he gave us clear guidance and directions so we could navigate the sites on our own. I know Alvin also does guided tours but we opted for self navigating. I highly recommend Alvin and My Panda Tour for your visit to Chengdu area

Fi-Fi was amazing and so fun! My teenagers loved her! We would not have managed to fit everything into one day, or have figured out the transportation on our own. The arrangements were smooth and painless. Our guide and drivers were on time and very knowledgable. We were at the panda base early and managed to spend almost an hour alone with one panda who showed off for us. Fi-Fi managed to navigate us to the best spots at the park and we were out of here before it got too busy. The Leshan Buddha was awe inspiring, but I enjoyed the train trip seeing some chinese country side even more.

We are a family of four with 2 teenagers and we stayed two nights at Qing Cheng Mountain, near Chengdu. We visited the local areas with dinner at local restaurant and trekking to the mountain Qing Cheng, and our guide was Jack who was excellent.

The visit was fun and our guide Mark was a very friendly guide. The tour lasted longer than advertised (ours ran from 7am-7.30pm) but that's always to be expected in China, just prepare for a full day of activity. The ride from the panda base to Leshan can take about 3 hours so this tour isn't for everyone, it's a lot of sitting on the minibus. However it was a very easy and comfortable way to get to the pandas and the Buddha without the hassle of trains and buses and taxis. We had some delicious lunch in Leshan too (not included in price) which Mark helped us order.
