Helen from Chengdu - 6 Stars
![]() Helen, our private guide in Chendu, was just the best. An ABSOLUTE 6 Star Guide. She met us from the airport, calmly reviewed out 3 day itinerary, checked all was as we expected, and then spent 3 days ensuring we have the best time possible. Helen was lovely and was very flexible to our needs, and changed a few things for us. She took us on so many unscheduled activities, such as a Local Street Foodie tour, which was just fabulous, and tea in the local park, with ear cleaning, and a “marriage market” (although we couldn’t offload our daughter there !). Helen seemed to be telepathic in understanding what we wanted, and you could see she was thinking and adjusting everything all the time, to suit us. If I was running a Tour Company I would get her to train everyone. Helen from Xian - 6 Stars ******. more

I’d highly recommend spending a few days in Chengdu to explore the beautiful city. Evan really gave us an insight into local life and he really did make our trip one to remember! more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary and the timetable is only for reference. We can also flexibly adjust the itinerary based on your arrangement and the day's situation.
In the morning, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in urban Chengdu. Your guide will call you one day in advance to your hotel or leave a message to double-check the pick-up time with you.
The first stop is Panda Breeding and Research Center, home to nearly 50 giant pandas and red pandas. This beautifully laid-out park is about 10 kilometers (six miles) from downtown Chengdu, with excellent walkways to various open panda enclosures. The base is called a paradise for national treasures and features luxury panda villas nestled amid the woods.
After carefully observing pandas in the morning, head to a downtown art studio to create your ink painting of pandas. Guided by a traditional Chinese painting instructor, you'll learn to master the Chinese ink brush. You can not only create traditional Chinese ink paintings but also let your imagination run wild, crafting a unique panda based on your envision.
Visit Chunxi Road for an unforgettable panda-themed afternoon tea experience - where delectable treats meet Instagram-worthy presentation. While you're waiting, you can browse and purchase from a range of panda-themed souvenirs available on the premises.
After that, you will be transferred to take photos with the 15-meter-tall climbing panda sculpture. Created by preeminent artist Lawrence Argent, this climbing wall panda is called "I Am Here!" It will be an interesting experience to capture the moment with this trendy landmark of Chengdu.
At the end of the trip, we will escort you to your hotel, the airport, the cruise port, or the train station.
