Memorable Experience - Just had an amazing day trip to Leshan with our guide 吴燕 today. She was very punctual, friendly and helpful. The journey was very smooth and comfortable and she also shared with us many important things about touring the city of Chengdu. Very happy and definitely will book with Aviator for our travels excursion in the future. A five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience!

Excellent Day! - I was traveling during the May holidays, so my driver, Xiao Fangzheng, picked me up at 7am on the dot to beat the crowds. We got to the Leshan Giant Buddha just as the ticket offices were opening and were able to secure the river cruise tickets on a busy day. Again, my driver Master Zheng knew just where to go for everything and took me right to the entry for the cruise. The cruise itself was lovely and they don’t overcrowd the boats, so the opportunity to film or photograph was optimal. Master Zheng shared his location through WeChat so I could easily find him after the cruise. As we were leaving, he pointed out a woman selling little flower garlands and encouraged me to smell the flowers. Apparently, they are symbolic in Tibetan Buddhism. I looked it up later and they are called Magnolia champaca if you want to research it yourself. Then we went to the “old town.” Lots of food and little shops. Very crowded because of the Chinese holiday. I could have stayed longer to take pictures, but we were already running a bit late. Master Zheng was very kind and took some photos of me at both locations since I was traveling alone. I highly recommend this company. Both Master Zheng and the internet contact were highly professional as well as friendly.

Chengdu and Buddha! - Incredible! If you visit Chengdu it is a must to go to the Buddha!! 100% recommendable!! I fell completely in love with Chengdu and its surroundings.

Money well spent - The trip is worth your time. Honestly I do not think 8 hours is enough time. But this driver is a very accommodating. We had extra time to explore because of him. My driver was liuzhijun. This is a private tour. Driver picked you up at your hotel on time. He does not speak English but we can communicate through google translate app, He is a safe driver. He looks after your interests. There are two entrances to giant buddha. You have a long climb if you take the main entrance. But you get to see the buddha up close. However it would be difficult to see the entire buddha up close. If you have member in your group that is unable to climb, the alternative is taking a boat tour. You have entire view of the buddha and mountain. You also get very close to the mountain. The driver made this suggestion and I am glad he did. You can buy additional ticket at the gate to see 1000 buddha in the cave. It is worth it. The driver was accommodating to pick us up, since we got lost. I recommend you download wechat before going to China. The ancient town is also about one hour drive from giant buddha. Again, it is a must go. Our tour took 12 hours. We took our time to explore since there was so much to see and do. The driver was accommodating and we gave him extra at the end. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you to our driver.

Excellent Combination - Shi Jianhua was my driver for this tour, and he was excellent. He was very punctual with the hotel pick up and even arrived 15 minutes early. A bottle of water was also provided. Both Leshan Giant Buddha and Huanglongxi exceeded expectations. The journey was smooth and I would definitely recommend this trip.

Fantastic trip - Had a brilliant day, the Giant Buddha was incredible and our driver was friendly and informative, helping us negotiate how to get around and where to go. Definitely recommend this tour!

Great experience and driver - We loved this tour! This package comes with transport to and fro to Leshan and Huanglongxi village. Be prepared to buy some yummy goodies at Huanglongxi! Our driver, Lichao (李超）was extremely knowledgeable and professional, we had a really great time talking to him. He was timely and polite, the car ride to Leshan took around 1.5 hours and it was so comfortable. Thank you!

Very good tour - Very good tour , statue of buddha is a must see experience and old town too. Driver li choa is very friendly and very courteous.

Awe inspiring trip to the great Buddha - Seeing the Leshan Buddha was awe inspiring. Our guide showed us how to take the boat trip first which was the perfect way to set the scene viewing the Buddha from the river, then set us on the free transport to the Buddha itself. We were fortunate that it wasn’t crowded so we had time to view at our leisure. We walked to the bridge which was beautiful. Our guide found us a suitable (vegetarian) noodle shop for lunch. The Huanglongxi village was a little disappointing as we felt it had become rather commercialised. The history and layout of the town was interesting but the experience spoilt by loud and conflicting music coming from modern shops built beneath the old exteriors.

Average Experience - Basically you are just paying for a driver to drive you to the Giant Buddha and Ancient Town. Driver will drop you off at the location and you are to figure out your own way through the attractions. The drop off point and the Giant Buddha was a 50min self hike. Personally didn't find this purchase worth it.
