A Recent Review of this tour

Daniel was very prompt, he ensured our tour to the Dujiangyan Panda Base was above expectations. His command of English was exceptional, his knowledge of the history of Chengdu was very good. Daniel took numerous photos of us. His sense of humour was brilliant and his company was most enjoyable. The Sichuan hot pot dinner with B'day cake was a nice touch. He prearranged VIP front row seats at the Opera and was very patient whilst we participated in an immersive experience of costume & makeup photo shoot.
