Questions travelers ask
When is the best time to take this tour?+
March-June and September-November; start early in summer heat.
Will we definitely see pandas?+
Yes — we enter at 8:00 opening and go straight to the nursery; in summer heat pandas move indoors, so the early start matters.

Quotes are shown as written, in the traveller’s own words.
“I have travelled in Asia for twenty years and expected to be managed. Instead I got a route with real texture and a guide happy to argue about which dumpling shop was better.”
