About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- newton88880 contributionsGood value for money - ideal solution for this visitThis was a repeat performance - to take the family to these two sites, both of which are important for anyone who enjoys traveling in China. This tour is an ideal solution for anyone who does not want the hassle of groups or incomprehensible "English-speaking" guides that you have to smile at all day out of politeness, while straining to understand what on earth they are wittering on about. The quality of this tour has not changed since my last visit in 2023 - the driver on this occasion, Huang Lin, was, just like her colleague, excellent, very safe and discreet, she left us in peace, but gave us all the support that we could have wanted by helping us to obtain the admission tickets to the Panda Centre and the Leshan Buddha. Excellent value for money. Altogether a very impressive, unforgettable day - but be prepared for a full day's tourism!Written December 2, 2024
- michaelsP6182UM0 contributionsPleasant helpful driverThis was exactly as promised. A safe, pleasant, helpful driver to shuttle you to both the Panda Center and the Leshan Buddha. Lovely driver. He doesn’t speak English, but uses a translating application to converse. Realise this is just transportation. Do not expect a guide. If you’re looking for reliable transport to both sights look no further.Written October 29, 2024
- sheela_lux0 contributionsHassle free way to explore chengduChunhua was a fantastic driver who took great care of us! The car was comfortable and the ride was smooth and she was great companyWritten October 27, 2024
- jeangJ2359ZG0 contributionsNo water and no stairsThe water was too low for the boats and the stair case was close for repairs( which I found out after I climbed all those steps. The driver could not speak English but had an app on his phone which work well. The driver was friendly and on time.Written October 24, 2024
- carmenisa20160 contributionsDissappointingThe trip didn't advise that due to low water for over a month, no boats would go to the buddha. Also it advertised a written English guide which I didn't receive so I had no idea what sites the free shuttle bus tour was stopping at or why. The ancient town was a shopping centre with more fun, people playing the river. The driver was fabulous, trying to translate & help me have a good experience thoughWritten September 26, 2024
- Natia T0 contributionsGreat tourShi Jianhua is a great driver and a caring person. He gives a lot of attention and makes you comfortable. Thanks to Shi this tour was great.Written September 22, 2024
- carlotal4070 contributionsHighly recommended!The Leshan Buddha was amazing! I highly recommend doing the hike instead of the boat, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy the magnificient Buddha. I recommend going in September, definitely not as crowded as I imagine it gets other months of the year. Our car driver Master Hu was amazing! He was punctual, he came with us to the ticket office and helped us get our tickets. Leshan Buddha is quite far away but he definitely made the journey smooth. I can't stress it enough, great rider!! He then took us to Huanglonxi Ancient Town, and he pointed us towards the best street to stroll on. I also recommend doing this portion of the trip, since you get a picture of the old china housing style which is mostly lost in the big cities. This trip is worth doing and worth the 4h total of car.Written September 12, 2024
- 345yiannisp0 contributionsReview5 very interesting place away from the crowds at least wheni went there on june 27 2024. Try to book a guide or to study before -about the placeWritten June 30, 2024
- arghad9290 contributionsExcellent CombinationShi Jianhua was my driver for this tour, and he was excellent. He was very punctual with the hotel pick up and even arrived 15 minutes early. A bottle of water was also provided. Both Leshan Giant Buddha and Huanglongxi exceeded expectations. The journey was smooth and I would definitely recommend this trip.Written April 9, 2024
- louick170 contributionsFantastic tripHad a brilliant day, the Giant Buddha was incredible and our driver was friendly and informative, helping us negotiate how to get around and where to go. Definitely recommend this tour!Written March 31, 2024
- BarberineC10 contributionsPanda base and Leshan Buddha tourWe had an amazing day thanks to our driver Wuwei, he was extremely kind and explained to us many things about Chengdu and Leshan. We would definitely do it again!Written January 11, 2024
- iris_eles0 contributionsGreat day trip to see the Giant Buddha and HuanglongxiThis was such a fun little trip made much more convenient by my guide/driver. He helped with all the busy work such as buying tickets, guiding me to entrances, and finding convenient parking while also giving in-depth knowledge about the local history as well as food/shopping/tourist recommendations. He even gave me some insider tips on how best to visit a couple of other Sichuan tourist destinations when I mentioned my itinerary for the rest of the trip which were so helpful. I highly recommend this trip if you're looking for a personal driver for the day that's a little more personal than the average tour package. I was able to hit all the spots I wanted to visit, take my time, not be rushed along, and still get back to Chengdu in time for dinner.Written October 16, 2023
- barwin20230 contributionsExcellent tour with safety drive.We have found in this product exactly what we have looked for. It was no guide drive from Chengdu to these two amazing places. Our driver has pick us up very punctual from hotel lobby. The car was comfortable with air condition. We have received two bottles of water per person. Our driver was very good expired in the variable traffic. He has taken us to the Leshan and assisted us by the ticket office. We had enough time to visit the complex of temples and statue. No time pressure. After that the driver has taken us to the ancient city and let us the time to visit the village in piece. Thank you for the tour and 100% recommendation.Written August 27, 2023
- newton88880 contributionsThe right solution for this unforgettable excursionFinding the right solution for this excursion to two of China's important tourist sites is not an easy task. This programme turned out to be the best solution for me and it offered excellent value for money. I saw that all of "the private tours with tour guide" are very expensive indeed (with entry and lunch included). However, what I needed was a private driver who could guide me to the entry points of the Panda Centre in Chengdu, as well as to the Giant Buddha in Leshan - but I did not want to have to listen to a guide all day or to be taken to some restaurant (or even shopping at selected merchants). I wanted privacy but independence. That is what I got at a much more reasonable price. I was picked up from the hotel in a comfortable limousine. I had the driver that everyone else has been praising on this site. He is indeed careful and smooth at the wheel, keeps his distance, and he steered us safely through a bout of some very heavy rain. He accompanied me to all of the ticket offices and, once I was equipped with all of the paper-work (paid myself), I was set to enjoy these impressive Chinese sights. It was a very successful occasion - but be prepared for a full day of tourism!Written April 20, 2023
