Amazing experience. Highly recommend!!!

When we reached out to Alvin and his team at the last minute, they truly showcased their professionalism and dedication. They attentively listened to our requirements and crafted a completely customized tour plan that catered to our needs

Not only did they ensure a seamless experience, but they also provided exceptional care. Nie, our super helpful and caring guide, picked us up on time from your Chengdu hotel. Nie went above and beyond by assisting us in purchasing tickets, making sure we had snacks, and ensuring a hassle-free journey.

We were fortunate to visit during autumn, when the trees surrounding the base displayed vibrant and colorful hues, creating a picturesque backdrop for the adorable pandas. With fewer people around, we were able to thoroughly enjoy our time there.

Alvin and his team truly deserve praise for their outstanding service and attention to details making the complete experience so memorable.

We were leaded by Alvin, the most hospitality panda lover I’ve ever met. We started with cleaning panda’s house and playground, one of the funniest thing is that Panda’s poop actually smells very refreshing lol. We even had a chance to feed the panda by ourselves. This is truly the best panda experience I ever had in my life.

Panda lovers must visit Wolong Panda Base! I joined the volunteer tour alone and was guided by Sunny who is the same age as my sister. She is very friendly and I had fun chatting with her while the tour.

At the panda base, I really enjoyed cleaning the giant panda’s house, feeding the panda, and seeing the adorable pandas! Especially the twins with their mother and the 1 year old pandas living together is what I was dreaming to see in my life. I love that the place was less touristy and you don’t need to squish others to see the pandas.

If you are visiting Chengdu, I think Wolong panda base is the best place to visit and if you have a chance, you should join the volunteer program too. You will never get a chance to feed panda in your country I guess! Also you can get a very nice volunteer certificate after completing the program.

If I had a chance to come back to Chengdu, I will definitely join this tour again.

Thank you very much My Panda Tour.

I was directed to Alvin, the owner of My Panda Tour via several members of a private Facebook group dedicated to the DC pandas I’m a member of.

Upon reaching out, Alvin instantly emailed back. After a few email exchanges he hand-tailored a three-day tour that including volunteering, feedings, visits with Bei Bei, Bao Bao and Tai Shan, as well as other panda related things I wanted to experience. In addition meals, as well as transportation to/from the airport were included.

My guide Rita was the best. She was extremely knowledgeable in all-thing pandas, Chengdu, and Chinese culture. Incredibly cheerful she answered all my questions. Which were many and often. My driver was wonderful too. Always on time and incredible.

Being so close to these magnificent creatures was beyond incredible. In addition to knowing the bases are research and breeding centers helping to repopulate the Giant Panda and get them back into the wild.

From start to finish every detail was attended to, every aspect seamless. The entire experience was exceptional. I’m forever grateful to Alvin has his team. If you’re planning on visiting Chengdu to see the pandas, My Panda Tour is an absolute must.

Memorable day at the panda sanctuary. You could spend endless hours just watching them. So glad I chose the volunteering option, the experience would have been so different without it. Helping clean and feed the pandas made me feel I’m part of the family. Thumbs up to our guide Greenie, who was extremely cheerful, passionate about pandas, and spoke perfect English. It was indeed a pleasure having her us the guide.

I did the Wolong volunteer program. It was an incredible experience in a beautiful, scenic location. In addition to having the once in a lifetime experience of feeding two pandas, there were lots of other pandas to see around the base including young pandas, a mother panda playing with her 3-month old, adult pandas,

My guide for the Wolong tour was Jason. He was very knowledgeable about all things panda, easy to talk to and very kind. He went out of his way to make sure that I was having a good time and that the pace was ok given my knee issue (I had injured my knee in Chiang Mai, Thailand). Jason also took lots of pictures of me during the panda feeding and throughout the remainder of the day at the panda base so that I would have many memories of this amazing experience. Mr Lee was our driver. He did a great job also.

For several months in advance of my visit to the panda base I emailed Alvin with all kinds of questions. Alvin always responded quickly and offered to make other arrangements for me which made my trip so much easier and convenient. Alvin arranged for Mr. Liee to pick me up at the airport upon my arrival in Chengdu. After I told Alvin that I had injured my knee in Chiang Mai Alvin arranged with the panda volunteer program in Wolong to allow me to decide during the panda volunteer program which activities I would participate in during the visit, depending on how my knee felt. Having that flexibility during the panda tour really helped me have a great experience despite my mobility issues. Alvin also purchased my bullet train ticket for me from Chengdu to XI'an. He also arranged for Mr Lee to take me to the train station. Mr. Lee got me to the gate, waited with me until the train came and then took my luggage down to the platform and put my suitcases on the train for me. This was exceptional service! I wouldn't have made it without Mr. Lee.

If I could give My Panda Tour 10 stars for the Wolong tour and all of the other services they provided to me I would. If you are considering doing a panda tour or any other tours in Chengdu, or the rest of China, book with Alvin and My Panda Tours. You will be glad you did.

Thank you Kiki and My Panda Tour for the best day ever. I did the panda full day volunteer experience with the optional baby panda feeding and it was just amazing. The base is so caring to the pandas and there are no words to describe being up close with these adorable creatures. I cannot wait to do this again.
