Dazu is a must see and we could not have found a better guide than Legend! - Legend is a great tour guide. He contacted us in advance of the trip to confirm pick up details and arrived punctually with the car. On the way there he explained about the history and the cultural significance of the site and also answered all our questions about the local area including the agriculture and way of life in the local villages that we passed. We visited Baodingshan in the morning and spent about 2 hours there looking at the carvings and taking photographs. Legend is very knowledgeable about the history of the carvings and explained to us who and what the carvings represent and the themes they depict. It is a truly amazing place although pretty busy. We had the choice of where to go in the afternoon and chose to go to the much quieter site of Shimenshan, after a delicious lunch of local freshwater fish. Apart from us, there were only a couple of other visitors at the second site and we found it quiet and impressive. It is a much earlier site and also includes Taoist and Confucian statues. After spending 90 minutes or so at the site we drove back to Chongqing and were dropped off back at our hotel. We could not have found a better guide for the trip to Dazu and were very happy that we booked with Legend.

Highly recommended. - It's a fantastic place to visit. Our driver, Legend, was great. On time, friendly and helpful beyond the call of duty. We didn't have to worry about anything. He talked us through the two ancient sites and knew all that was expected of him. His English was excellent. He organised an interesting lunch experience. I would go again without question.

Dazu - On our second day, we had the privilege of exploring the historic Dazu Rock Carvings with Legend as our guide, and it was another unforgettable experience! His detailed explanations of the intricate carvings and their historical and cultural significance added so much depth to our visit. Legend’s passion for history and storytelling truly brought the site to life. He also introduced us to an amazing lunch, featuring Sichuan pickles with river fish soup (sauerkraut river fish soup), which was absolutely superb! It was the perfect way to immerse ourselves further in the local culture. Legend’s attentiveness, knowledge, and ability to create a memorable experience make him an outstanding guide. We are so grateful for his guidance and can’t recommend him enough for anyone visiting Dazu or beyond.

Beautiful carvings and statues at Dazu Carvings UNESCO site - Legend is a great and knowledgeable guide with excellent English. Pick up on time and we were blessed with sunshine on this full day tour. Visited two sites in Dazu and the history of this UNESCO site is significant, with carvings up to 800 years old. Stunning colors and a great place for photography as well. Highly recommend this tour!

Great trip and great guide - Great visit to the Dazu Ancient Rock Carvings which was truly a journey back in time, surrounded by serene landscapes and fascinating history. Legend, my guide, truly brought this ancient site to life with his storytelling, sharing the rich history and cultural significance of each carving. The setting was peaceful and allowed us to fully enjoy the place. Lunch was another highlight—absolutely delicious and perfect complement to the day. Legend made the trip seamless and enjoyable; his knowledge and enthusiasm enhanced the experience greatly. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Chongqing!

Dazu rock carvings tour - We had a great day looking around Dazu rock carvings and although only the main site was open they were amazing to see. Because the second site was closed Legend discussed possibilities and changed our itinerary, so after a lovely lunch he took us to the Ancient village and his insight into the goods and culture was very enlightening. Definitely recommend.
