A great couple of days in Chengdu region
We had an amazing couple of days, guided by Evan. We saw some local theatre, went to Juizaigu, visited the Panda Center. Thanks to him, we go to enjoy it fully. He knew where to be and when to ensure we had the best experience. He was also very kind helping us when we faced troubles with our payment system. Thank you for all, Evan more

A great time with Helen in Chengdu!
Helen is a superstar! Our group of 6 spent a wonderful day with her visiting the Panda Breeding and Research Center in the morning. She has so much energy and so much knowledge, including fun little stories about the pandas, it was a great experience. After a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, Helen took us for our Sichuan Cooking experience where we had lots of fun and ate more good food. In addition to making our day in Chengdu wonderful, Helen also had the responsibility of getting me to the hospital for followup care due to an accident I'd had earlier in the trip. The next day when she took us to the airport, she stayed with us until we boarded the flight. There had been some question as to whether the airline would let me fly due to my head injury, and Helen wasn't going to let us get lost anywhere. She is very professional and very in touch with the needs of everyone in our group. Plus, she is lots of fun! more
