Evan was an amazing tour guide.
Evan was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly and english was perfect. He did a great job of explaining to us the history of china as well as his experience with his family and their traditions. We did the panda experience as well as the jiuzhaigou national park. We brought 3 kids with our group and we were a total of 7. He was patient with our kids and kept them entertained. Evan made a suggestion of visiting a local tea house since our itinerary was tight and he was incredibly thoughtful and made our experience seamless. more

We had an amazing time exploring Chengdu with Fifi as our tour guide. She is very professional, knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. Her deep understanding of local history, culture and food made our trip truly unforgettable. Throughout the trip, Fifi was patient, attentive to our needs and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of to the smallest details. If you’re planning a trip to Chengdu, we highly recommend booking a tour with Fifi - she will definitely make your visit truly special! more

Enjoyable short stay in Chengdu
Although we only had half a day in Chengdu, Evan, our guide, made sure we had a great time at the Panda Breeding and research centre, feeding us little interesting nuggets of information about pandas throughout the tour. The Szechuan hot pot was also very enjoyable. Thoroughly enjoyable experience! more
