Victor was an excellent guide. He speaks fluent English with a broad range of technical terms and has a deep, detailed knowledge of Sichuan and Chengdu history. Victor is chatty and personable without being pushy. He listens carefully to what you want and adjusts plans accordingly. We were comfortably driven around by Victor, who is a good driver. We had very specific requests to focus on some unusual places (ancient sites, puppetry & needlework) and he designed an excellent tour based on those interests. We unreservedly recommend Victor as a guide. He would be a great guide for standard tours and more custom tours.
