As a parent traveling with two young kids from Shanghai to Chengdu for a two-day trip, I was initially worried about juggling sightseeing and keeping the little ones happy—but the tour company and our guide Autumn completely put those fears to rest. From the moment we landed, the driver was waiting with a clean, spacious car, and he always made sure to adjust the temperature to keep the kids comfortable, even stopping for quick snack breaks when they got antsy.

Autumn was a gem—she didn’t just rattle off facts about Dujiangyan Panda Base or Wuhou Temple; she turned each stop into a fun learning experience for the kids. At the panda base, she pointed out how the pandas’ fur keeps them cool, and at Wenshu Monastery, she told simple, engaging stories about the monks who once lived there. What impressed me most was her flexibility: when my daughter wanted to spend a few extra minutes watching a baby panda, she adjusted the schedule slightly so we didn’t feel rushed. The local tea experience at Renmin Park was a highlight too—Autumn taught us how to brew the tea properly, and the kids even got to try a mild, sweet version they loved.

Every detail was taken care of, from skip-the-line tickets to recommendations for kid-friendly restaurants. The driver was always on time, and he even helped us carry our stroller up the steps at Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project. By the end of the trip, the kids were asking when we could come back—and that’s all thanks to the amazing team who made our trip so special.
