A fantastic, well-organized trip!

Published on Feb, 2025

A very well organized trip - communication was very excellent. The driver was ready and waiting at the very clearly defined pick-up location. He was very competent and friendly, spoke good English and was happy to make stop if a needed to. Patrick, the tour guide, was also very friendly, spoke excellent English and clearly knew a lot about Leshan and the big Buddha. Despite bad weather, the trip to see the Buddha was well worth it and very impressive. Continuing to see the older parts of Leshan and the tea farm provided a wonderful, enlightening opportunity to see how people live.

Great full day trip from Chengdu

Published on May, 2024

This trip is remarkable. It blends in beautiful sights (Giant Buddha) with an authentic and local Chinese cultural experience. My guide was Patrick and he and the driver were both amazing!

Imagine drinking tea with a matriarch, hand-picked moments earlier, and dried and prepared by her.

Published on Apr, 2024

This was a phenomenally rich cultural experience curated by Sheldon at U2 Panda. He’s from the area and studied Tourism at college and clearly understands and cares about the tea-economy and the broader cultural gifts Sichuan has to offer visitors. I was so lucky to have picked this tour, though the description did swing my choice. Please visit these wonderful people and see what the province gifts us. Sheldon and driver Mr. Chow made my trip so memorable (and it was already pretty culturally-full having seen the pandas and the Opera). Thank you Sheldon!!

Hyper localised tour experience with great caring tour guide

Published on Nov, 2023

Patrick and driver were extremely great hosts. Patrick had a good command of English’s dun gave clear explanations on the historical sites and local cultures/practices. The restaurants, tea drinking and plantation visits were highly personalised and localised, and hence was something most tourists would not experience traditionally. Would highly recommend this tour!

Amazing day, amazing guide

Published on Nov, 2023

We chose to spend my friend’s birthday with this tour and it was the best choice. We had an amazing day, experiencing the non touristy sides of a smaller city, visiting a local kindergarten, seeing the Leshan Buddha (which was so fun, because apparently it was the Buddha’s birthday as well!) and trying to pick tea leaves and see the process of making tea. We had the nicest guide, Patrick, and he was a really big part of making this day so special. So thank you, it was more than we hoped for.
