Travelling with 80+ year olds made easy!
I travelled with my 80+ year old mother and her friend to Dujiangyan to see the panda and the magnificent irrigation system. The driver and guide were very attentive to our needs and our guide was engaging and explained everything very well.

Fresh Air and Good Views
Wow, Wow, Wow! Both places were amazing and filled with lots of beautiful scenery. This is definitely a tour for one who likes to see nature and to have a view of how the Daoists temple in QingCheng Mountain are like. Definitely recommend that you are fit and have good walking shoes to make the most out of this. Want to give kudos to Andy, our tour guide, for taking good care of us seniors especially since we needed to take a lot of breaks as we hiked up the mountain. There are options to be lifted by locals but we decided to be adventurous and go for it ourselves.

My family and I travelled with Catherine Lu Tours to Chengdu this December. The tour guide and driver were both professional and responsible. The tour was also well- planned and enjoyable. This is my fourth time travelling with Catherine Lu Tours and I have continue to use them!

3 Day Private Chengdu Tour - Excellent!
This is my second time using Catherine Lou’s Tours. The first time was a multi-day customized trip for five people to Beijing. This time it was a three day private customized trip to Chengdu for my 8 year old son and I. Catherine Lou’s Tour helped me create a great trip to Chengdu and surrounding area that was engaging for my son. More importantly the guide we were provided, Kiki Chen, was phenomenal! She is probably in my top two of tour guides I have used in over 20 guides throughout Asia, mainly China. Kiki was extremely knowledgeable, provided wonderful insight into her life in China, and more importantly communicated in a way that kept things interesting for myself AND my son. Kiki was great with my son and that made the experience all the more enjoyable. She played some games with my son in the car and when we were walked around outside. She pointed things out for him, asked him great questions, and asked about what kind of food he wanted at lunch (sweet and sour pork for him!). Kiki picked great restaurants and also asked me what kind of things I liked. Kiki spoke excellent English and I recommend her to anyone! Ask specifically for her, when you book with Catherine Lou’s Tour. We started our three days with a trip to Chengdu Panda Base. I am glad we asked for an early start, we left the hotel around 7:30am and got to the Panda Base before it got crowded. We got to see the pandas eating breakfast and the young ones were rolling and playing with each out. By 10-11am, the pandas were definitely starting to slow down and go back to sleep. After lunch, we did a shadow puppet experience which my son LOVED. I was a little surprised he enjoyed it so much. After a two 10 minute shows (which Kiki gave us a summary before the show so we could follow along), we both got to play with the shadow puppets and them make a shadow puppet. The hands on experience was wonderful and we were the only customers in the shop, so the one-on-one contact was nice. The next day, we drove about 2 hours to Lushan to see the giant Buddha. The weather was rainy and cold so we did not hike to the top, but instead took a boat to see the Buddha. If the weather was nicer, we would have done the several hour hike to the top. However, my son did like the short boat ride to the Buddha. On our third day we went to see the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, explored the Chengdu Museum, and walked around the city. The Irrigation system was really quite amazing, especially knowing it is still in use. If you are an engineer, or interested in water, this is a must see. Learning about the system with a guide is also important, otherwise you won’t know what you are looking at. I found it fascinating. We spent 1.5 hour in the Chengdu Museum, which is plenty for my son. The museum is well done and the exhibits kept his attention, especially the large shadow puppet exhibit. Our driver, Mr Wu, was excellent and I always felt safe in the car. I give Catherine Lou’s Tour, Kiki Chen, and Mr. Wu 5 out of 5 stars. Our experience in Chengdu was wonderful!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour?
+
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 Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chengdu: Mt. Qingcheng and Dujiangyan Private Full Day Tour 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.
