Cooking class and wet market visit - Teresa was a fabulous tour guide! She is very knowledgeable and friendly. The wet market was very interesting and we were able to buy some traditional enamelware that we had been looking for. The cooking class was wonderful! Teresa was very patient and a great teacher. We enjoyed cooking and eating all the dishes we learnt. We would definitely recommend doing this tour.
Mr Zhou, our driver, is an excellent driver! It is the 2nd time he has driven us. He is very friendly and calm. He is a superb driver!

Cooking class with Tetesa - I would give Teresa 6 stars if I could. Her knowledge was enlightening for someone like me, who literally came to Chengdu for the food. She was super professional, patient (we ended up doing serious spice shopping at the wet market), but most importantly she was fun. We could not stop talking about food. I strongly recommend her, and the tour.

Loved it! - Cecile was the perfect host. First we visited the market where Cecile talked us through all of the produce, gave us tasters and explained how it worked.
The cooking class was such good fun. Cecile gave us clear instructions, we laughed a lot and cooked some incredible food.
I’d recommend this experience and really rate Cecile’s experience.
We all felt comfortable with her and enjoyed getting to know her throughout.

Sichuan Cooking Class with Cecile - We had a cooking class with Cecile and her colleagues to learn to make smash cucumber salad, dumplings, kung pao chicken, and fried noodles. The tour of the local market and the cooking class were so fun! Even my niece and nephew who are 8 and 5 years old really enjoyed it.

Great experience, highly recommended! - U2Panda made our 1 day in Chengdu(!) a fantastic time. We had taken the 1 day Panda+Cooking; my familly, including the kids (16, 13, and 8 years old) all loved both activities. We highly recommend the cooking session (which actually starts with the visit of a local market): this has been a fantastic experience for all of us; the kids loved being active and having to prepare their own diner, instead of "just" visiting another place. Our guide, Charles, was very nice, and gave us many info about the city, the pandas, the cooking style, etc which greatly enriched the experience. U2Panda seem to offer a broad range of activities & site seeing for all poeple looking for more than just a basic "pick-up service with drop-off close to touristic places". My advice: tell them what you like (activities, sport, etc), and they'll find you something extra-ordinary. Highly-recommended!
