We had a fantastic time on a four day private tour visiting Sichuan's beautiful national parks, organised by SunriseChina Expeditions! Bruce was so helpful and really responsive from the very first email I sent. We sent him some ideas, and he sent back numerous options until we found the perfect tour for us. Jason our tour guide was excellent (great English, great suggestions for food and helped us spot heaps of birds and was more than happy to double as a photographer for us too), Mr Li our driver was also very professional and the car was new and comfortable. If you're thinking about a trip to Jiuzhaigou, don't hesitate taking a four day trip with SunriseChina Expeditions! Even though it's a long drive out of Chengdu, it is absolutely worth it - it will be one of the most beautiful things you'll see in your life! The other stops on the tour are also amazing - Songpan was a surprise highlight, one of the most picture perfect towns we have ever seen :)

Worley was a great guide who took us to at least four major tourist attractions in Chengdu in four hours from pickup to our hotel at the W and back. She is very knowledgeable including history of religions, architecture, and is a big panda fan. The tour was not the typical bike ride we are used to where we stayed on bikes the majority of the time. We took the metro and walked around the places we visited on this tour and probably traveled on bike for about 10 km. It was a wonderful introduction of the city that allowed us to see Wenshu Monastery, Kuanzhai Alley, People’s Park, and Qingyang Palace. We were pressed on time otherwise Worley would’ve spent more time in the locations. Thank you, Worley, for the great tour!

My friend David and I decided to take this class on the recommendation of a friend, and we were not disappointed. Our tour started with a jaunt through the local market. The knowledgeable and lovely Ocean the low-down on all the local ingredients and how they are used in Sichuan cuisine. My favorite part was learning about the “pigs-anus” vegetable, that despite the name, actually tastes good. For the second part of the tour we went and cooked three dishes guided by a real chef. This was my favorite part of the afternoon, as we cut, roasted, and mixed, I really felt like I learned how to make a few of my favorite Sichuan dishes. This experience is highly recommended for anyone who is heading to Chengdu, and wants to learn how the amazing cuisine here gets made. - David and David.

Our large group of 17 family and friends enjoyed our 2 week Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Ermei, Leshan trip with Aline very much. Aline planned the itinerary well with highlights being the newly opened Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong areas (super wow), Emei/Leshan and Chengdu city areas. She even took us to the less known Bifengxia zoo where we are able to feed lions, tigers, bears up close and observe the panda in really close range. Aline is extremely dedicated. Before the trip, I mentioned that Singapore does not allow fireworks, and Aline brought along some impressive fireworks for us to set off. That's something the kids (and even adults!) enjoyed very much for the first time! Its an unique experience for us Singaporeans. She also went out of her way to help the group. When we needed bubble wrap to hand carry some fragile items, she ordered it from the Chinese websites and arranged for it to be delivered to the hotel the next day. She also helped us order several things from Chinese websites which saved us a lot of hassle. Of course Aline was completely professional in the usual tour guide duties : flexibly amending the schedule to tailor to weather and our preferences, taking care of the group, recommending food choices etc. She is a very committed tour guide and goes out of the way to meet our needs. We had a great trip and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends who is going to Chengdu!

The visit was fun and our guide Mark was a very friendly guide. The tour lasted longer than advertised (ours ran from 7am-7.30pm) but that's always to be expected in China, just prepare for a full day of activity. The ride from the panda base to Leshan can take about 3 hours so this tour isn't for everyone, it's a lot of sitting on the minibus. However it was a very easy and comfortable way to get to the pandas and the Buddha without the hassle of trains and buses and taxis. We had some delicious lunch in Leshan too (not included in price) which Mark helped us order.
