It's been a dream to see panda bears and it finally come true thanks to China Highlights. I had a splendid day in Chengdu, first the panda bears, then the local opera and finally ending with a visit to the People's Park. I love this city. Teresa was my guide and she is a magnificent guide - Extremely patient, knowledgeable, talented and a very nice person. I appreciate her services entirely.

The Pandas just HAVE to be seen. We hear so much about them, but almost never see any. Or if we do, it's just one or two at a zoo. The traditional opera is extraordinary! Other tours take you to pop versions of Chinese music, but this was authentic and fascinating. Lunch was great, and if you don't like super spicy, no worries. LUCY IS AN INCREDIBLE GUIDE. She is intelligent, has lots of information, but never drones on like some guides do. Above all, she seemed interested in what I wanted to see and learn, and let me set the pace. I recommend this tour, and Lucy, very highly.

A great way to maximise your time in Chengdu. Head early to visit the Pandas to beat the crowds, see pandas up close during feeding and bypass the queues for the shuttles. The main research centre is home to almost 10% of the pandas global population and this provides an opportunity to get up close and personal. Consider August/September onwards if you want to see cubs. Hot pot lunch is an acquired taste - ensure you determine what temperature you can endure. Visit to the opera is an interesting and colourful additional to the tour - consider air plugs. Regular audience welcoming and cast happy for photos. Peoples Park is a great way to finish the day with a walk through the Marriage Markets, a visit to a tea house and an opportunity to learn to play mah-jong with expert tuition from enthusiastic locals. Guide Lucy ensured the day ran smoothly and gave a great interpretation of local customs, history and pandas. Ensure you spend ample time at the pandas - they are the highlight of the tour!
