It was a very pleasant morning, our guide WELLS showed up on time, prepared and kind he guided us at the panda center. Book with this guy to enjoy the best time.

Wells was a very helpful guide! He took me to all the spots, explained what everything was. He also explained to me things outside the panda world and answered all my questions. He and the driver were kind, punctual, and on top of logistics! Highly recommend!

We booked this last minute through Mr Lee, a tour guide in Chengdu. We met him before the show where he gave us an English explanation of the show to set the scene. It turned out to be absolutely amazing. There was many different acts that were all unique to the culture. Highly recommend going! They also had English subtitles on tv screens (although there wasn’t heaps of talking anyway). Worth reaching out to him to organise cheaper tickets and the explanation for those that don’t speak Chinese. Mr Tray Lee Email - leetravel@qq.com WeChat - 13398186696

A fabulous morning visit to the Chengdu Panda Breeding Centre with our fabulous tour guide Wells today. Wells and our driver met us at our hotel promptly at the agreed time. We then headed out to the Chengdu Panda Breeding Centre. As it was earlier in the morning it didn’t take us too long to arrive. We saw lots of beautiful giant pandas and red pandas and throughly enjoyed the lovely environment there. Wells gave us a lot of information about the animals, his English was excellent. We learned so much while we were there and have some gorgeous photos to treasure. We then had a delicious Sichuan hotpot meal at a restaurant Wells booked for us and then finished our fascinating day with a visit to Chengdu Museum which was well worth the visit All in all a fabulous day in Chengdu with our driver and Wells our amazing tour guide. Thank you so much Wells for giving us this great experience. 🙏

Wonderful experience. The driver picked up at the hotel and the guide was waiting for us at the center with all tickets. No queue! Unfortunately due to the hot weather, we saw the giant pandas inside, but we enjoyed the red pandas in their habitat! Our guide, Wells, was very prepared, professional and with excellent English command.

I was recommend by friends to go to the Panda centre early for opening. I contact the guide and he was happy to change to leave early. The guide arrived at hotel before the pick up time, and had a sign with my name on. He spoke good English and was happy to share all about the city on the way to the Panda park. When we arrived (7:20am) the entry queue was already quite large, you definitely need to get there before 7:30am do not get there any later. We entered the park and we went straight to see the red pandas, and saw some. We then walked uphill to the back of the park to see some of the panda pavilions. Most people went straight to the fully grown pandas and the queue to see them looked like hours long. We went to the other pavilions and saw many pandas with hardly anyone about. For me, this was definitely the way to do it. We then went to the baby panda enclosure which said it opened at 9, but it was open before them and we went in with hardly any queuing, It was still very very busy though. At about 9:30am the park was full of people and the queue for the fully grown panda was significantly long and I would think would be a 2-3 hour queue to see the big pandas. I was happy to leave as I had already seen lots of Pandas and it was quite hot. The guide was excellent and I would highly recommend this experience. Unless you are intent of seeing the famous social media pandas, and are happy to wait in a queue for hours.....listen to where the guide tells you to go. He knew the quiet areas and where to go to see pandas towards teh back of the park where most people weren't. I would also strongly recommend you leave earlier than the start time of 7:30am.

On a very hot summer day, in the middle of the holiday season, we still wanted to see the panda’s. And because of our guide Wills, we managed to see a lot of them! Because of the hot weather, only a few panda’s were outdoors. Wills knew a lot of shortcuts through the park and guided us through the loads of tourists, so we could see quite a few panda’s! Wills is a very friendly and smart guide, and he speaks very good English. He also took us to the Leshan Giant Buddha, where he also managed to guide us through perfectly and with a lot of fun.

Great stress free way to see the Pandas especially in the heat of the summer and with huge crowds due to summer holidays. Our guide Wills meet us at our hotel and knew the shortcuts to get around the large sanctuary grounds and avoid some of the crowds. If we had been on our own would have been a bit of a challenge. Wills was punctual and friendly and answered all our questions as well as helping us book the Chinese Opera for the afternoon. Thanks Wills!

Perfect organized tour by our guide Wells. We had a great day and we saw the panda’s nearby. We where volenteer and we enjoyed the way we could help the staff bij feeding the panda’s.

JoJo our tour guide was very nice and kind. We had a great time with her. Without her it would have been very complicated if not possible at all to see the pandas because the place was extremely crowded but she knew all the shortcuts! We highly recommend her and this Panda themed half day :)

My tour guide Wells was the best tour guide I had while in China. He was very knowledgeable about the area, spoke English just like an American, and was passionate about his work. He was very friendly and took his time to show me the best of the pandas! Really enjoyed the tour and I highly recommend.

Our guide - Wells - advised us to head out early to Panda Center: great advice as (1) weather was much better (2) the pandas were out and about and (3) the Center was less crowded. Wells and our amazing driver took good care of us over the three days in Chengdu too. Thank you Sam Tours!

This is an excellent way to see the pandas. I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel and everything went smoothly. Jojo my guide was knowledgeable and informative. She also shared ideas about other activities I could do in Chengdu after the tour.

Our guide Wells was very knowledgeable and showed us the best places in Chengdu (including the Panda reserve and Leishan Buddha). He went the extra mile, by also taking us on a local food tour at a local market. I would highly recommend Wells as a guide!

We had a great trip in Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou, because of the amazing logistics team. We had a great experience planning the tour with Sam. Even though we were a bit late with the inquiry, Sam still made the effort to arrange so we had the time to go on the tour. Furthermore, Sam works with some very nice people. Our driver was very kind and made every effort to make sure we were comfortable, and he drove safely. Our hotel manager was also very nice and made sure we had a good time and helped us with any issues. In Huanglong we just took the cable car and followed the route through the site down to the exit. In Jiuzhaigou we took the route suggested on the parks webpage.
