Hi there! We are Victor's team, a group of local guides and photographers based in Chengdu, the city where pandas live. Having worked as a tour leader for several western tour companies such as Intrepid travel, Peregrine & Geckos adventure, Imaginative travel between 2004 and 2012, Victor had the opportunity to explore many incredible places in China and capture countless memorable moments with my guests. However, in order to spend more time with his family, he decided to quit the tour leader job and focus on showcasing the real China life in Chengdu with his team. When you book a tour with us, you can expect an authentic experience that goes beyond the modern cement forests. We’ll start by visiting the Panda Base, where we’ll share our working experience and introduce you to the real monks or Taoists in nearby temples. You’ll even have the opportunity to dine with them and learn how to prepare some culinary delights off the beaten track. Additionally, we’ll take you to witness the lama’s Sutra-debating at the largest Tibetan Buddhism institute and guide you to the best locations for capturing stunning photographs. In a word, we are committed to showing you the very best of Chengdu while ensuring your trip is hassle-free. If you’re planning to visit China, don’t miss out on Chengdu. And if you’re visiting Chengdu, don’t forget Victor's team! Let’s meet as strangers and part as good friends!"
