Excellent two days of tours- pandas, cooking, fab food, opera, and more!

My chef husband and I recently spent a month traveling thru China, and Absolute Panda Tours created two excellent & full days of touring for us in Chegndu and nearby! We got to see the darling pandas at play, and red pandas, as well, (early, before the crowds!), and then took an excellent, professional cooking class at the Cuisine Museum in Chengdu, where they make the famed aged Chili & Soy Sauces, and went to the market with the chef, and in the evening we went to the Opera (and the fab tea house next door), which was truly a wonderful evening. The next day they arranged for us to ride the steam train and see some of rural China, to take a boat to see the amazing LeShan Buddha, and then to have a totally delicious and fun Hot Pot Dinner! We enjoyed every minute! I planned the tour with them via email, and their English is excellent; their guides and customer service were tops, as were their vehicles and drivers. The meals they took us for were absolutely delicious- and as my husband is a chef, I don't say that lightly! We highly recommend them, and will definitely use them again if we're lucky enough to get back to Chengdu!
