interesting food experience, learned a lot from the guide and local people. I always like chinese food, often ordered chinese dishes when I was home, finally, got the chance to try different foods, and its local, feels different with the home one, but much more local, wish I had more time can stay in chengdu:(.
All the food was delicious! My friend and I both love spicy food, so this place was like paradise for us, haha. The pandas were so cute and sweet. it would been perfect if there were fewer tourists around.
I had the pleasure of doing the tour with Lulu, who is a fantastic guide. She showed us the old town and took us to a monastery with a beautiful temple. Lulu provided a wealth of information about everything we saw, making it all very interesting. Her English is excellent, and she is a very pleasant lady. We also enjoyed a lovely meal together. I highly recommend this tour and the organization FINDING CHINA; they are well-organized and punctual!
This was an absolutely amazing tour of Chengdu! We visited each site at the perfect time, ensuring nothing was too crowded. All the locations were beautiful, and there were opportunities to pick up souvenirs along the way, but they were never required. For lunch, we enjoyed local Sichuan cuisine and had the option to choose our preferred level of spiciness. Our tour guide, Frank, was extremely knowledgeable, sharing insights about the various sites in Chengdu and answering our questions about the city and Chinese history. He was personable and incredibly helpful, even taking many pictures for us throughout the day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested!
This was just a small tour with four of us, and Lawrence, our guide was very easy to talk and informative about the food and life in China. His English was really good too.
We ate so much that I couldn't possibly list it all! We tried noodles, rabbit head, stuffed pancakes, spring rolls, and some sweet treats, finishing with a traditional hot pot dinner. We also visited a tea room and a market. Of course, if there's something you're not comfortable eating, it's not a problem—but this is a Sichuan food tour, after all!
Amy was a wonderful tour guide! She took us where we wanted to go and allowed us to go at our own pace, spending more time wherever we felt like. She was really patient when we wanted to check out other spots that weren’t originally on the itinerary. We had an amazing time in Chengdu and would definitely book again.
This is our second visit to Sichuan. We found this travel agency-Chengdu Private Tour only and booked the 2 Days Leshan Giant Buddha & Mt.Emei Exploration Tour one month ago. The guide and driver picked us up in time at our hotel lobby, we visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site-Leshan Giant Buddha and the famous Chinese buddhist mountain-Mt. Emei. The whole trip was very joyful!
The food, hotel and transportation were quite pleasant. The route was compact but not hurried. There was no extra consumption during the trip. The guide's explanation was full of humor and she was really professional! She provided a professional service for all of us. I hope an opportunity to visit again! I recommend this tour and the company Chengdu Private Tour to all of you without hesitation!
