“10 days in Chengdu and Ya’an for pandas”
Amy is the greatest guide ever. She put together a 10 day itinerary based on my interests and worked with me to get it just right. Then as a guide she was wonderful.we always went at my pace. I had a bit of a cold so we always went at a slow pace. And she took me to the pharmacy for meds. I was interested in Sichuan food (who isn’t). She took me to wonderful places that were not tourist spots but popular with the locals . Above all, Amy is a terrific person and I consider her a friend for life. If you go to Chengdu, you should definitely go with Amy.
