Pricey for what you get...
The tour guides Patrick and Mary were really nice. They provided a lot of information, made sure all questions were answered, and the driver was efficient. I am taking off stars due to the high cost for one person. This was in no way a nearly $700 experience. As for the actual tour, there were a lot of stairs involved. You should be in pretty good shape, but Mary was good at checking in to make sure I was doing ok during the hike. The monastery is bare bones with a communal shower and toilet in a separate building across the compound, so that may be something to consider if you are prone to waking to use the toilet in the middle of the night. Both guides were good with speaking English.
Response from the operator: Dear Heather, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the service from Patrick, Mary, and our driver, and that you found the guiding informative and supportive throughout the trip. At the same time, we truly appreciate your comments regarding the overall value, the number of stairs involved, and the monastery accommodation experience. Mt. Emei does involve a fair amount of walking and climbing, and your feedback is a helpful reminder for us to make this more clearly stated in our tour description so that future travelers can better assess whether the pace and physical level are suitable for them. Regarding the accommodation, thank you as well for pointing this out. We understand that monastery lodging is a very different experience from a standard hotel stay, and it may not suit every traveler. We will review how this is presented in the product details to ensure expectations are clearer in advance. Thank you again for traveling with us and for recognizing our guides’ efforts. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continue improving both the experience and the way we present it to future guests.

To do, superb excursion
A wonderful and perfect excursion thanks to the professionalism of the guide, Patrick and the flexibility of the driver. The guide has always offered us several plans, he adapted very well to our requests (walking rather than the cable car, sleeping in a monastery and not in the hotel, etc). We enjoyed a lot of temples that he knows very well, he is native of Emeishan. It is both efficient, attentive and discreet. The discovery of the Great Buddha by boat is magical and at night in the monastery a very nice experience, even if it was disused.

Enjoyable and fruitful 2 days tour
The China agent, driver and tour guide are patient and helpful. The tour guide is so knowledgeable and knows the fastest way to bring us around. The driver is very warm and gives us useful advice moving around Chengdu. But the service rendered by Viator isn't as good.

Remarkable trip with Lucy
We got a 2-day 1-night trip with Lucy. The first day we visited the giant buddha by boat then stayed in temple for the night. We got a chance to discuss with the second master of the temple which marks a lot in my spirit. Our guide Lucy is a local in Chengdu. She's so nice and thoughtful. She shared a lot of knowledge about the region. The second day started with a kungfu class with a master who's also the head of the kungfu school in the region. He also teaches kungfu in Germany. We learned a tiny bit of kungfu spirit. I'd sure continue in the future. The climb up on the Emei mountain is quite hard. I took the cable car while Lucy guided others by stairs. It was cold bit definitely worth. Thank you again Lucy!
Response from the operator: thanks so much, and hope can see you again in Chengdu

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chengdu.
How much does Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $374 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 Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 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 Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days 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 Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mt Emei and Giant Buddha 2 Days 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.
