The Dujiangyan Panda Base is a wonderful place to see pandas. We very much enjoyed the Panda Keeper Volunteer experience as you are able to get quite close to the pandas and feed the adults. Petting and feeding the panda cubs was a once in a lifetime experience for my spouse. My Panda Tour was a great company for this trip. The office was very prompt in responding to questions and arranging the transportation. Our guide Alex did a superb job. He was very knowledgeable about the pandas, a very friendly guide, and good photographer as well.Had an awesome volunteer experience with the Giant Pandas from breaking bamboos, creating Panda cakes, sweeping the cages, and ultimately feeding and engaging with the Pandas. Amazing experience that I highly recommend.

I have loved Giant Pandas since I was a small girl, so after 45 years of long distance love I could not believe that I was finally going to see so many, up close, and have the chance to contribute to their care even for one day. It was very important to me that we had a guide who loved Giant Pandas too. Our guide, Rosa, was clearly as much in love with pandas as I am! She has an encyclopedic knowledge of everything relating to pandas- names, birth dates, lineages, health problems, stories of their relationships with their house-keepers. She quite often explained to other guides some interesting panda infor. For a panda lover, this day was like being in paradise. We not only saw many Giant pandas - imagine turning in a circle and being able to see pandas in all directions!- but we were allowed to assist the house-keepers in cleaning the enclosures and houses, and as a reward we were allowed to feed the pandas through the bars of their house. To sit in front of a panda while he gently took food from my hand was a very special, emotional and unforgettable moment for me. We were very fortunate to catch a glimpse of 'Papa Panda', Professor Zhang, while we were there, with Rosa's help! In addition to taking us to visit the many pandas, and telling us all about each one- Rosa seems to know every panda personally!- she also helped us to be very good trainee panda keepers and took many photos of us in action. We even had our photo taken with famous panda house-keeper, Mary. I could continue to write about how wonderful this day was, but I think now you have a good idea!My husband and I were so looking forward to this tour and definitely had an amazing and memorable experience!!

My husband and I were so looking forward to this tour and definitely had an amazing and memorable experience!! Rosa was our tour guide and she was the BEST! She was extremely knowledgable of the pandas and even knew all of them by name. You can truly tell she’s passionate about them and made the tour so much more fun and interesting. She was super helpful, organized, and took a ton of photos/videos for us. On this tour, you’ll be able to clean the panda enclosures, feed the pandas twice, walk around and see the pandas, make panda cakes, and watch a panda documentary. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough and definitely ask for Rosa!
