the Giant panda Chengdu

Our tour in Chengdu with JustChinaTours was overall an enjoyable experience that allowed us to explore the city’s highlights and immerse ourselves in its culture. While there were some areas that could be improved upon, we still had a positive time and appreciated the efforts made by JustChinaTours.
The itinerary provided a good balance of activities, including the panda sanctuary, culinary experiences, and visits to the Giant Buddha in Leshan. The guide accompanying us throughout the tour was knowledgeable and provided valuable insights into the destinations we visited. We particularly enjoyed our time at the panda sanctuary, where we had the opportunity to see these magnificent animals up close and learn about their conservation efforts.

Chengdu’s relaxed atmosphere.

The guide’s knowledge and passion for Sichuan cuisine were evident, and their recommendations for local specialties were spot-on. They were attentive to our preferences and dietary restrictions, ensuring that we had a variety of options to suit our tastes. We appreciated their efforts in making the experience personalized and enjoyable.
However, there were a couple of areas where we felt improvements could be made. Firstly, the pacing of the tour could have been better. There were instances where we felt a bit rushed during our meals, limiting our ability to fully savor and appreciate each dish. A more relaxed and unhurried approach would have allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the culinary experience.
Overall, our food tour with JustChinaTours in Chengdu was an enjoyable and delicious experience. The selection of restaurants and the guide’s expertise in Sichuan cuisine were commendable. With some adjustments to pacing and language proficiency, the tour could reach its full potential and provide an even more exceptional culinary adventure.
