Comfortable private tour.
It was well organized private tour to the most important two places. Panda research center was well organized and my private guide Tom was very active, talkative young man. We saw both giant pandas and Red pandas as well. After that we drove to Leshang. We had a nice private lunch before taking the river cruise to see Giant Buddha. The car was clean and comfortable. Driver was very good. Then they dropped me back at the hotel.

Private Tour to the Panda Base and Giant Buddha
The tour to the Panda Base and the Giant Buddha with Ling was fantastic! First, Ling guided us through the Panda Base in Chengdu and gave us interesting insights into the pandas’ lives. She took us right to the spots where we could observe the animals up close. Afterwards, Ling tailored our lunch at a lovely local restaurant to our individual preferences. We then drove to the Giant Buddha. The driver was very experienced, so we were able to avoid long traffic jams. Ling’s explanations on site were comprehensive and very easy to understand. She repeatedly pointed out various photo opportunities and provided an interesting historical insight into the history of the historic site. Ling also told us a lot about her hometown of Chengdu and gave us valuable tips on sights throughout the country. Thank you, Ling, for your dedication and kindness. We would gladly give you and the driver a 10 out of 10 if that were possible and recommend the tour 100%.

A highlight of our trip to China!
This tour was one of the best days of the trip! The panda base was amazing and we saw 3 month old baby pandas - so cute! The trip to the giant Buddha is well worth it. The journey is about 2 hours each way but the transport was so comfortable that it went by really quickly. We opted for the river cruise option and it was really enjoyable. The lunch in Leshan was brilliant too - crab dumplings one of the best things I’ve eaten this trip. What really made this tour stand out for us was our guide Fifi (sorry if I have spelt her name wrong). She was wonderful. She was incredibly friendly, funny and knowledgable. She provided everything you’d expect from a professional guide but made us feel so welcome it felt like we were hanging out with a friend for the day. Thank you Fifi!
Response from the operator: Hi Bennett, I am glad you had a wonderful day with Fifi and Mr.Zhou. We value our clients' experience and thank you so much for choosing our trip! May you a great stay in China! Best Regards Lily Chen

Great private tour in Chengdu!
My wife and I had a great experience with this tour at Chengdu. Even before it started, there was great communication from Lily, our tour operator. She also followed-up with us during the tour to ensure everything was going well. It went well indeed. It was great! Amber, our guide, did an awesome job! She was super nice an professional. We went first to one of the Panda's bases, the one in the city. She knew exactly were to take us and at what time to avoid the crowds. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. After a little shopping time, we went to Lashan. She gave us very interesting commentary during the 2 hr ride as well as rest time. Once in Lashan, she took us to a very nice restaurant for lunch where she order some regional dishes. It was one of the best meals we had in our China trip. We went then to visit the giant Buddah on a boat ride. It was very nice and interesting. She did, again, a great job with a lot of historic explanations. Mr. Zhou, our driver, did also an awesome job in a very nice and comfortable car. He was too very professional and friendly. So in summary, it was a great private tour and a day that will bring fond memories for life. Highly, highly recommended! If we return to Chengdu, we will look again for Lily and Amber! The way all tours should be!
Response from the operator: Dear Roberto It's our great pleasure to arrange your trip in our hometown. Your satisfaction made our work meaningful and rewarding. We want to offer great experience to all our clients who come such a long way to our mother land. All the best to you and your family! Merry Christmas and happy new year!!! Best Regards Lily,Amber,Mr.Zhou

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha cost?
+
Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chengdu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chengdu is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chengdu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chengdu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chengdu and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Private Trip to Chengdu Giant Panda Base and Leshan Giant Buddha start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chengdu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chengdu?
+
On Outty we rank every Chengdu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chengdu Cooking Class with a Local Market Visit, Private Chengdu Day Tour: Giant Pandas and Jinsha Site Museum, Tuktuk Food Tour Through Chengdu's Local Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chengdu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chengdu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
