Unmissable experience! - A truly authentic and unforgettable experience! 🌿🐼
The tour of the pandas in Dujiangyan and Wolong gave us magical moments: getting close to these wonderful animals, watching them enjoy bamboo, play, climb or sleep peacefully... a dream come true for any nature lover. The surrounding mountainous area is also very beautiful and makes the experience even more impressive.
Special thanks to our guide Jay, who accompanied us throughout the day with great availability and passion. In addition to taking us to the best spots to see the pandas, he told us stories and curiosities about China and neighboring Tibet, enriching the tour with a cultural touch that we loved. At lunch he took us to a typical restaurant, where we enjoyed authentic and really delicious dishes, perfect to complete an already extraordinary experience.
If you are looking for an exciting adventure full of natural charm near Chengdu, this tour is perfect. Highly recommended 100%!

Hassle-d - We enjoyed our day with our friendly guide Penny. The children loved their time with the pandas. We couldn't opt for the volunteers option as the kids were too young but we could go at our own pace. A guided tour is of course not necessary but hassle-free for us. We just have to follow Penny. We found it very usefull to also have the driver with us as the Dujiangyan panda center is a little bit remote and we might have had a hard time finding a Didi/car for the 6 of us tonreturn to Chengdu.

Absolutely fantastic day! - We had the most amazing time on our Panda trip to Dujingyan 😊 we saw several pandas up close. Our tour guide Jay was absolutely incredible, very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the animals. He went above and beyond on our trip, and made the whole experience one of the best trips we’ve ever done. After the Pandas we went to a lovely ancient town, which included beautiful food and seeing the sites of the old town. Thank you Jay for such an amazing experience!

Great day with Pandas - Was a good day. Guide was very knowledgable and helpful. Although tour picks you up, it only does it from a few set hotels.

Great Guide - This was an excellent excursion. My guide Jay picked me up promptly at my hotel. He was very knowledgeable about Chengdu, pandas and tourism in China in general. When we got to the pandas, he was able to tell me about the individual pandas themselves and their personalities!
Unfortunately, the rules for interacting with the pandas were restricted right after I booked this excursion, so the panda keeper part of this booking was not as described. There is nothing the tour operator could have done about this. For the Panda Keeper part, I was with a small group of 8 to 9 year old kids. I teach pre-K here in China, so this didn’t bother me. We watched a documentary on the panda preservation project, then the kids learned how to make a water pipeline using bamboo. I just took pictures. Then we learned to make panda cakes. The kids weighed out the ingredients, but I jumped in to mix everything up and make cakes. The kids started to overcome their shyness and started practicing their English with me. Some of them were very good!
On the ride back to Chengdu, Jay gave me some advice on my further travels through China. I highly recommend this excursion and Jay as a guide especially.

Great tour recommend it - This panda park was incredible. You can tell how much they love and care for the pandas from staff to visitors , we choice visit pandas at Dujingyan center, seen many of volunteers clean panda cage and prepare bamboo and other food , our guide Sean gave us an introduction and tell us all pandas background almost 30 pandas in this pandas Every step felt respectful and like we were just part of the pandas normal day and routine. Each pandas had a story about how they were rescued and why they were there. It was so touching to hear some of the stories.
anyway, it is a amazing panda tour with even we don`t know which panda center is best to visit
