We have had an experience beyond our expectations. The visit to the panda centre was a lot of fun, and although we were unable to feed them due to decisions beyond the control of the tour organisers, we had a great time seeing the pandas up close and learning about them. After the tour, our wonderful tour guide Bella took us to learn a bit more about Chengdu, as we visited the People's Park, had tea, walked around one of the most popular areas in the city centre and she recommended a spectacular Hot Pot restaurant. If it's your first time in Chengdu, or if you want to do an activity that involves pandas, I wouldn't think twice about booking this tour, it was very good.

We had a wonderful day at the panda research base with our guide, Sarah. She taught us many interesting things about pandas. Taking part in the food preparation was a fun and enriching experience. Sarah guided us kindly with her knowledge about pandas and Sichuanese culture and she took the time to take plenty of photos for us. We highly recommend this activity with Sarah to anyone wanting to learn more about pandas while having a good time.

I recently went on a trip that was absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful time in panda base. Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. Every moment was filled with excitement and joy, and I can’t wait to go on another adventure like this!

I brought my daughter to Chengdu to mainly see and experience pandas and the culture. So when I was looking around for panda base tours, there were so many popped up but once I started sending email to some of them, I knew My Panda Tours would be my best option. Catherine was the main reason I signed up for this tour, even though it's really expensive :)). Her prompt, honest and detailed reply for every questions I asked which gave me the necessary confident and reassurance. Initially I wanted to go to Dujiangyan due to shorter distance from Chengdu city, but since the volunteer program only accepts 200 pax a day and I signed up too late, so they changed my tour destination to Wolong instead, without extra costs. Catherine also explained very well the difference between the two panda bases. I felt really comfortable to go ahead with the Wolong option. I also shared with Catherine that I wanted a Chinese speaking guide and she arranged June for us and June was amazing! My daughter and I really liked her. She told us many great, funny stories about pandas, and she was being very patient with us too as we stopped to watch every single panda there. Also Catherine helped to arrange a female driver (forgot her name) for us as well, this really made me feel safe as the tour was only for my daughter and myself, I was worried about the long drive and the comfortness. The only wish I had was to be able to get closer to the pandas and even take close up pictures with them through the volunteer program. However the panda base has stopped allowing volunteers to feed the pandas or be in their enclosure anymore since early this year. What a bummer! But this was already communicated through The Panda Tours website and clarified with Catherine too, so I didn't expect it. But at least we got to see the keeper there feeding a panda behind the enclosure. (They didn't allow to take any pictures though.) Overall, I give a 5-star to The Panda Tours for the great experience we had! Thank you.

Panda Base Volunteer Experience - It was very assuring to have Mr Alvin Liu coordinate the Volunteer Experience at 2 Panda Bases. He has proven to be very prompt, experienced and helpful. Assigned Driver cum Guide Ms Nie is equally proficient with her knowledge of Pandas. She updated regularly on the sequence of programme (as per adjusted by Panda Base owing to weather, situation, etc). Perfect experience and highly recommended. A Certificate & some freebies are given by the Panda Base to mark the memories.
