About tours
The first tour started from April, 17, 2021. We started to visit the oversea born pandas. We have been visiting some celebrity pandas like Bao Bao, Bei Bei, Tai Shan, Qi Zai(the brown panda), Lin Ping, He Hua, Rou Rou...During the tour, we usually share the local culture, try to connect to the keepers/nannies to share insider stories, beautiful surroundings and panda anecdote! In 2022, we expand our destinations and started to visit the pandas across the country. Hopefully we will meet all pandas in China. In general, we run our tours on every Saturday night (EDT). The tours are recorded so the guests can always watch them later. You can get the previous tours by selecting "Tour Collection" and "Replay Video Only".

Tonight is a tour at Bei Bei. It's great to see the pandas again. Thank you for these moments. We are looking forward to the next tours.
Jeffrey W.
Rou Rou is so cute. I love her. Thanks for visiting. The tour was very fun.
Jeffrey W.
What a great tour. Bei Bei put on quite a show. Thank you!
maria m.
The tour was incredibly beautiful. There is no tours that was not beautiful. It is so gratifying to see these wonderful creatures. Alex as other times has done his best. Thank you Alex and Alvin.
maria m.
Thank you for the beautiful moments with the pandas. The tour like the others was magnificent. We look forward to the next tours. Thanks again Alvin and Alex.
Cindy P.
I thoroughly ENJOYED! watching the Virtual Tour #79, visiting Bao Bao and Her Baby Boy!!! Bao looked AMAZING!! Her 2 year old cub is just PRECIOUS!!! Then onto Ping Ping & The Big Guy, himself, Tai Shan!!! I cannot believe he is 13 years old!!!
Thank You, Alex, for being a VERY Informative Tour Guide! I learned many things from Alex! Including the Mountain that Tai Shan was named for! Thank You, Alvin, for allowing us to "Do" & Enjoy these Tours from so far away.
Sincerely,
Cindy Pintur

Tour #78 on 1/28/23 with Alex was definitely fun at BFX . It began with visiting Prince Bei Bei who was definitely hungry, trying to eat all the bamboo in China, and not using his legs to exercise, unlike Alex who had to walk up steep stairs to see the panda Buddha area. No doubt it made all of our wisdom teeth chatter! Beautiful Lin Ping was much thinner than expected but it was nice to see her with her son. Xiao Bai Tu tried to sleep until Bai Feng wanted to nurse and he was rather insistent. He is bigger than she is and if his grandmother, Mei Xiang, had seen this she would have swatted Tai Shan's son into the next kingdom. The little fellow, who is not so little, is quite the bear kid! His sister pretty much slept through the entire thing except to cover her nose at one point when things got a little bit too smelly for her. Thank you for this wonderful tour!
maria m.
The wolong tour was excellent. Also this place is an adorable place to visit. Thank you Alex for all the explanation and that you show us these beautiful pandas. We are waiting for the other tours with great pleasure.
Patricia M.
Alex is just as good as Alvin. Wonderful and awesome tour. Love it when the guide knows what they are talking about;makes for an awesome experience. Thank you ever so much Alvin and Alex.
Patricia W.
I enjoy my Saturday at the various panda locations in China. My friends know where I am! It’s a great way to see lots of pandas. Alex and Alvin are always ready with panda facts and information. Join the group and have a great time in China on zoom

I loved the virtual tour! Alvin provides great information on the pandas and the zoo. He also gets the best views of the pandas!! I loved seeing the pandas as close as possible (he knows how to get the best viewing spots!) and gives us plenty of time to watch them play, etc. It was such fun!
maria m.
I enjoyed this tour. Relaxing moments with the wonderful pandas and Alex. Many thanks, we look forward to the next tour.
Jeffrey W.
My wife and I enjoyed the tour. We always have so much fun. Bei Bei looked great and the weather was very nice for viewing. Thank you for visiting and taking us along. We miss Bei Bei so much and it means a lot to get to see him from time to time. Thank you.
Elizabeth C.
Always wonderful to see the pandas and China. My Panda Tours. Incredible, Alvin does such a fantastic job, telling us about the pandas in great detail. Thank you My Panda Tours for such a great time. Always ready to see china and those precious black and white Oreo cookies.

Tour #77 on January 21, 2023 at the Chongqing Zoo with Alex was a wonderful treat. To see “my” Er Shun again, albeit briefly, and her second set of twins meant the world to me. The coming out party was great and toys, including a slide and a rabbit balloon, were provided for the panda kids. We also saw Mang Zai, Er Shun's younger sister, and her energetic twin boys who were busy play-fighting with each other. Alex had a great time too and maybe he wanted to jump in with the twin boys! Happy Chinese New Year to all of my panda friends and to all pandas!!
maria m.
Beautiful tour. Great to see the pandas. Thank you for the great moments we are allowed to watch.
Stephanie S.
Wonderful way to ring in the New Year with Alex on a gorgeous sunny day in Wolong. Very quiet and peaceful. Alex noted that he only saw three other visitors at the entrance. We visited our darling Bao Bao with her mini me male cub Bao Li. She is a very capable laid back mommy! Next stop her older brother the amazing Tai Shan. His keeper gifted him a huge carrot, panda bread, and twelve small shoots to celebrate the New Year. He looks so healthy and his keeper told Alex he weighs 238 lbs yay. We also spent time with our San Diego princess Zhen Zhen. She has two beautiful twins. Her keeper gave Zhen Zhen special shoots and one twin did his best to wrestle as much as he could from mommy. Thanks so much Alex for a great tour!
Terry E.
The panda enclosures were the most magnificent I have seen in all of our trips. It was amazing to see the pandas engaged in their habitats. Excellent trip!
maria m.
Thank you for the beautiful tour. Watching pandas in your tours is awesome. We look forward to the next tour.Many thanks for making this possible.
maria m.
The most beautiful tours are yours with one of the cute animals of the world. Thank you for these moments that warm our hearts. We look forward to the next tours. Many many thanks.
Joyce B.
I've spent many hours watching pandas and it was fun to see them again, like I was there. I also enjoyed seeing the scenery and layout of the panda yards, the mountains are beautiful! The chat was fun, just like the banter of panda people in front of the panda yards in the US. This was my New Year's Eve celebration and I can't think of anything I'd rather do. Thank you!
maria m.
Nice tour as always. We thank you for the effort you make for us. A great New Year 2023 to everyone and your family.
Kathleen D.
This was my first tour with mypandatours. It will certainly not be my last. Alex was so knowledgeable and kind. The time allotted for the tour was very generous. As a matter of fact, I am going on another tour this weekend. Thank u from the bottom of my heart.
Jeffrey W.
We had so much fun visiting with Bei Bei on Christmas Eve. It was the prefect end to a perfect day. Thank you so much for bringing him into our home. Have a happy and safe new year.
maria m.
Thank you Alvin!Each tour has its own charm. Your pandas and explanations are wonderful.Many, many thanks .
maria m.
Wonderful tour Alvin and Alex as always. Thank you for helping us get close to the pandas.
maria m.
Thank you Alex and Alvin for the beautiful tour. Each tour has its own personality. No one can get bored of these tours. Many many thanks.
Frances A.
This was one of my favorites of Alvin's virtual tours--Ziqing Lake is a great facility with lots of pandas, and we had nice long visits with Mei Sheng, who was born in San Diego, and Tuan Zi, daughter of Zhen Zhen, who is also from SDZ. Alvin always tries to find our favorites for us, asks questions of the keepers and makes sure we get to see what each place has to offer. Thanks, Alvin!
Jeffrey W.
You always do such a great job. Thank you for bringing the pandas into our lives. We love them very much.
Jeffrey W.
We had a lot of fun and will do it again!
Jeffrey W.
As usual, the virtual tour was wonderful. We enjoyed seeing Bei Bei and visiting with everyone. It was a great evening.
tomoko s.
Dear Beibei,
Your nap style:) fascinated me so much.
You are my sunshine!
I am interested in your panda cakes like scone of English afternoon.
Please show me in detail.
Thank you indeed.
Sincerely yours,
Tomoko
Lynn E.
I was very happy that the tour was on BeiBei’s anniversary going to China. It was good to see how well he is doing.
maria m.
Thank you Alex and Alvin. As other times, this tour was very nice. We are looking forward to the next tour. Many, many thanks for making this possible.
Jeffrey W.
I bought the replay to see cute Rou Rou. She didn't disappoint. One of my favorite pandas. She's great. Thanks, Alvin!!
maria m.
Thank Alvin and Alex for this wonderful tour. The torus are great also from such a distance. Thanks again for the work you do to bring us close to the beautiful pandas.
Dr. J.
Tour #65 with Alvin on 10/29/2022 to Taihu Lake Park was quite the exciting experience. The lake is gorgeous and the boat ride looked like a lot of fun. Finding the two pandas took some doing as no one else was really at the zoo, but Alvin took us to see Xin Hue and Zhu Yun. The two pandas looked terrific, being healthy, looking happy, and eating well. Their indoor and outdoor enclosures were very nice, with Panda paintings on the ceiling, and well kept up living areas. The two pandas could see each other through the outdoor glass but apparently they do not communicate with each other. Zhu Yun, the mother of talkative Jin Hu, also talks but she did not have much to say during this tour. Thank you Alvin!
Dr. J.
Tour #62 on 10/8/22 with Alvin was yet another wonderful experience. At the Yancheng Zoo we met the handsome Yun Er, pictured here, and the beautifully energetic Zhen Sheng. The pandas had beautiful enclosures with plenty of space and enrichment. Nothing was lacking at this establishment except maybe some hills to climb. We could tell that the pandas were very well taken care of and even had bamboo shoots brought in from Sichuan. They had the ultimate of fine dining! Thank you, Alvin!
maria m.
A wonderful tour,as always. We are looking forward to the next tour. Many ,many thanks Alvin and Alex.
Elizabeth C.
Alvin hit a home run with this tour. BeiBei is always wonderful. Beautiful pictures of our beautiful Bei Bei. We do miss him here in the Us. Always love this tour. Thank you again for this wonderful tour.
Elizabeth C.
Alvin and the tour was as wonderful as ever. However this panda base was a little disturbing as it seemed bleak, not as inviting as all the other panda bases. The pools were dirty, and didn’t look very appealing. There was no vegetation for these pandas. I am worried about the care and health of these pandas. I sincerely hope there will be an investigation into this base for the health and care of the pandas who live there. Thank you
Dr. J.
Tour #60 on 9/24/22 at the Chengdu Panda Base with Alvin was great fun. We saw the inside and the outside of certain areas and were greeted by peacocks. We also saw panda fruit and babies. Mothers and babies were seen including Ya Li with her babies and Ni Ni and her babies. He Hua slept soundly on her structure and did not awaken for the visit. Perhaps it was because we did not make an appointment! We did see the amazing and adorable Po which was terrific. When exiting, the two peacocks were still there, to say goodbye. Thank you Alvin!
Elizabeth C.
Absolutely fantastic. Never miss any panda tour. Thank you Alvin for being able to visit China and you wonderful pandas. Ready for another trip. Elizabeth. Dallas, Texas.
Dr. J.
Tour #56 on 8/22/22 at Wolong with Alvin was terrific, as usual. It was Bao Bao’s ninth birthday, although she doesn’t look a day older then five, and Alvin arrived with a huge pink, of course, poster and was able to make children aware of the special event. This is a very special panda! I personally would have liked to have seen a birthday cake, but this didn’t happen. She looked through the door opening, maybe for a cake, at the keepers while her young son was on his back laughing his head off. We also got to see the very handsome brother of hers, Tai Shan. A documentary from China is to be made very soon and Alvin will be featured! We saw him talking to the filmmaker and answering questions. Stay tuned! Thank you Alvin and congratulations.
Cindy P.
THANK YOU, ALVIN!!!
TRULY APPRECIATE You Giving us Washington DC Zoo Fans the opportunity to Visit & Enjoy Bao Bao & Bei Bei on Their Birthdays!!!
So AWESOME!!! ❤️
IT MEANS A LOT!!!!
- Cindy Pintur -
Cindy P.
Thank You, Alvin!!! Not Only do You Do the Panda Tours! But you also give us Fans the options to buy video playback. Which I truly appreciate!!! Thank You! You are the BEST!!!
Velia W.
This was an unusual tour in that it happened at the beginning of the week. There was a very good reason for doing this. It was the birthday of Bao Bao, older sister of Bei Bei. It was a treat to see Bao Bao on her actual birthday. Thank you, Alvin, for making sure we can visit Bao Bao and her cub, Bao Li, on the actual birthday. Thank you for the close-ups and for another chance to see the beauty of Wolong. Thank you for giving us the best photo angles. You can't go wrong with My Panda Tours.
Velia W.
It's always a joy to go on tour with Alvin and My Panda Tours. This tour was special because of the special occasion attached to it, that being Bei Bei's birthday. Since travel to China was not possible, the tour was a welcome alternative. Alvin always looks for ways that we can get great screen shots of our favorite pandas. And Alvin always remembers to remind us of the beauty of the places that the tours go to. Thank you, My Panda Tours!
Kimberly A.
Love seeing Bei Bei. Thank you so much!
Dr. J.
Tour # 55 with Alvin on 8/21/22 to BFX was a wonderful and heartwarming experience. We had “an appointment” with the guest star himself, Bei Bei, to celebrate his 7th birthday. Alvin encouraged the keeper to prepare a lovely plate for our panda which was obviously done at Alvin‘s request yet it contained all of the birthday boy’s favorite foods, including a “7” probably made from carrots and thoroughly eaten in front of us. The entire tour was appropriately spent with Bei Bei so as not to miss anything. Alvin’s true love of this panda became even more evident at the end of the tour when he was saying how Bei Bei helped to get him through the rough times. I can relate to that… Several of us had tears rolling down our faces as it was a beautiful moment. Thank you, Alvin
Patricia M.
Alvin as always you and your crew were totally awesome. Thank you ever so much.
Jeffrey W.
It was so great to see Bei Bei on his birthday! I miss him so much, and watching this tour made it feel like I was watching him on the panda cam again.
Sorawan J.
It was exciting to join the virtual tour of the celebrity pandas Bei Bei and Bao Bao. I was busy working on their birthdays but joining the virtual tours that were broadcast live for a minute enabled me to enjoy my working days.
Dr. J.
Tour #51 with Alvin at DJG Panda Valley on 7/23/22 was just wonderful. This location is one of my favorite places to visit virtually due to the magnificent designs, architecture, plenty of space for each panda, and the crystal clear water. Pandas even had their own genuine climbing trees. The KungFu bridge was completed and the woodwork is beautiful. Oreo was not available, maybe because we did not “make an appointment”, but Rou Rou was having fun outside, as evidenced by the attached screenshot. A few red pandas were seen and many rocks on the pathway for Alvin to negotiate but no snakes!! Thank you Alvin.
tomoko s.
Thank you very much for your Beibei's live video.
I have been to be fan of Beibei since I had met at Smithsonian zoo with Mei Xiang next to Baobao and Tian Tian.
All the Beibei climbing up the tree, sleeping and eating something are fascinated me!!!!
I am looking forward to seeing again Beibei.
From Huge fan Tomoko
Dr. J.
Tour #49 on 7/8/22 to Wolong with Alvin was marvelous. Tai Shan's 17th birthday was celebrated in true Tai Shan fashion, with those who love him. The cakes and the platters were beautiful, befitting such a popular and beloved panda. Vistors were treated to cake as well. I think that Tai Shan was pleased and very happy to see his Ms. Liu. No doubt she spent time with him after the celebration ended and maybe they shared treats together, probably apples and not bread. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
Patricia W.
Loved the tour to celebrate Tai Shan’s birthday. You can see the love and care his keepers had for him as they created his special cake. It was a wonderful zoom trip❤️
Sorawan J.
It was so fun and exciting to join all virtual panda tours with Alvin who is knowledgeable about pandas, especially when I met virtually with the Thai born panda Linbing(Linping). All of the tours were colorful, and I will join such a panda tour again and again.
Shirley Q.
I am very happy to see Bei Bei .Thanks you so much Alvin and panda tour. Thanks so so much
Daphne P.
I love Alvin's tours. I thought I would never be able to see our Bei Bei again. But thanks to Alvin he goes to visit him often for us. This last tour on 6/25/22 was the best one yet. Alvin is very informative and if he doesn't have the answer to one of our questions during the tour he will find it out and email us with the answer.
Thank you Alvin for everything!!!
Jeffrey W.
My husband and I love watching Bei Bei. We miss seeing him in the US and this is such a great idea. Alvin is a great tour guide and I look forward to more tours.
Jeffrey W.
My wife and I had so much fun seeing Bei Bei. We always do. Thank you so much for your wonderful tours.
Dora J.
Alvin is always patient with the visits. He shares information about the pandas and is very open to questions. We feel he is as connected to the US panda families as we are. Love how we could watch the pandas from here and stay updated with their progress in China. His yours are totally worth it!
maria m.
The most beautiful tours ever are with Alvin.We really like pandas and also the way you explain to us about these special creatures. Looking forward to the next tour. Thank you soooo much
Jeffrey W.
We loved our visit. It's always such a fun experience. Thank you.
Jeffrey W.
Thank you for visiting Bei Bei. We miss him so much and it is great to see him. Keep up the good work!
Jeffrey W.
Loved our visit with Bei Bei. We have so much fun seeing him. You do such a great job.
Jeffrey W.
We loved our virtual visit with Bei Bei. It's so wonderful that you can bring him into our home. Thank you.
Jeffrey W.
So much fun. My wife and I love to visit Bei Bei. He's our favorite panda.
Dr. J.
Tour #41 at BFX Panda Base on 4/30/22 with Alvin of My Panda Tours was another marvelous experience and an opportunity to see many familiar beloved pandas and some new ones. Lin Ping and her kids were out as was Xiao Bai Tu, aka Mrs. Tai Shan, and her youngsters. They all looked happy. Bei Bei was very involved with his bamboo, as seen in the attached screenshot. His feisty neighbor boys were busy tumbling all over each other. Along with our pandas, Alvin showed us the beautiful walkways and property. No snakes! Thank you!
Elizabeth C.
Was wonderful to see our Bei Bei. He has grown so much and looks very happy. He is loved by so many. It’s Alvin and his wonderful tours that we get to literally visit each panda base. Alvin is a great host, knowledgeable, funny and interesting. Alvin knows his pandas. We get to see the baby pandas who are really little bitty people in baby panda suits. Can’t say enough great thing’s about Alvin and My Panda Tours. EXCEPT GREAT FUN!!!!!!! Thank you. Ready to go again.
Teresa O.
like every time I have been able to participate, a well-organized tour, with good images, showing us beautiful places, as well as pandas!!!
maria m.
Beautiful moments with the pandas.Beautiful moments with the pandas.A great tour with you Alvin.Thank you for all the effort.
Dr. J.
Tour #39 on 4/16/22 at DJG Panda Base with Alvin was great, as usual. Alvin took us to unseen areas that you would never see on a scheduled tour elsewhere. Several pandas were out and a few seemed to recognize Alvin. He greeted them with a cheerful “good morning” and said bye when leaving. Among others, we saw Meng Meng and Nong Nong. No snakes. The highlight though was seeing and spending a considerable amount of time with the California movie celebrity herself, Bai Yun!! She looked healthy and happy, munching on bamboo and on a giant bamboo shoot tossed to her by her keeper so we could see. That was great! Thank you, Alvin!
Dr. J.
Tour # 38 on 4/2/22 at DJG Panda Valley with Alvin was a most wonderful experience. Not only was Alvin's love of pandas and appreciation of his human followers evident, but we saw many beloved pandas and the most beautiful new and updated environments for pandas. The architecture, including waterfalls inside panda inner areas, were amazing and obviously created by talented architects and designers. Cheng Jui has a waterfall! Pandas we saw were Shuang Hao the Mona Lisa panda, De De the prankster, Mei Lan (Rou Rou), the 51 gm born Wu Yi, Oreo in his bed of bamboo, and other beauties. The Kungfu Bridge was great and no snakes were seen, thank goodness! Thank you, Alvin.
Elizabeth C.
Incredible fun. Again Alvin gave us a wonderful tour. Love Oreo and all the pandas. Alvin makes it fun, interesting. Would not miss one of these tours. Thank you Alvin. Ready to go again.
Karen W.
I have been enjoying Alvin's virtual tours for some time now and I highly recommend them to anyone who loves Giant Pandas. For those of us who have traveled to China (with Alvin) and been able to visit the panda bases in person, being able to "travel back" via Alvin's virtual tours is a wonderful experience and brings back lots of great memories. Alvin always goes the extra mile in making sure that he takes us to visit as many pandas as possible and especially our favorites. If they are not outside the first time he goes to see them, he always makes an effort to go back just in case. We are all so very grateful for Alvin and all of his hard work.
Karen W.
Every virtual tour with Alvin and My Panda Tours is a treasure. He takes great pride in the way in which he conducts each tour, making sure that it is always a great experience. Alvin give 110% during each tour to make sure that we see as many pandas as possible (especially our favorites) as well as answering our many questions. This is not just a business venture for Alvin. He genuinely loves our beloved bears, spending time getting to know them and to find out everything he can about them. Keep up the good work Alvin. We all greatly appreciate all of your efforts.
Dr. J.
Tour #37 on 3/26/22 to BFX with Alvin was wonderful. BFX is just gorgeous now and it was great to see the layout of the land as well as to see our pandas. There is no one better to do this with than Alvin. He has passion and a great love for pandas. He also has a tremendous amount of energy to do all of that walking! Tai Shan and Xiao Bai Tu were not available and perhaps this is because we did not “make an appointment!” We did get to see many baby pandas including Xiaojiang, whose privacy we invaded. Lin Ping was outside and of course Bei Bei showed us how handsome he is and how great he looks. He also looks very happy and I am glad that he will be staying in that location for at least another year. It suits him! He is too young to date right now. Thank you, Alvin!
Shirley Q.
I'm so glad Bei Bei can still understand English but he looks so sad. he's grown up now. his face looks like Mei Xiang his mother .Thanks Thanks Alvin
Linda K.
Alvin does a wonderful job of showing us all the pandas, including my favorite Bei Bei. He's able to talk to the keepers and other workers to let us know how Bei Bei is doing and how he spends his day. I'm so grateful to be able to see the pandas in China, especially since travel is impossible.
Velia W.
Alvin took us on another great tour of the Wolong Gengda panda base on March 19, 2022 (March 20 in China). We were able to see our beloved Bao Bao and her cub, along with several other pandas at this beautiful location. Alvin stays at each panda yard for a good length of time so we can really enjoy the bears and watch them eat and play. Moreover, Alvin gives us up-to-date information on the pandas that we visit. I highly recommend touring with Alvin!
Melody D.
This was a fun tour featuring lots of pandas and had Alvin hiking around most of the base.
Dr. J.
Tour #36 on 3/19/22 with Alvin at Wolong was power-packed in that many pandas were seen, possibly over 35 of them. A few of the babies were even in upside down trees and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Alvin was so happy to see the pandas and to see the viewers. One panda even acknowledged his presence when he said “Good morning.” I nearly dropped my iPad! Bao Bao is a great mother and we were so lucky to be able to witness this. Her older brother, Tai Shan, on the other hand, missed all of the action. He was not to be found so apparently next time, we will have to “make an appointment.” There were impersonators but no Tai Shan. The pandas we did see looked happy and healthy. It was great to see them along with Jin Ke and Bing Bing! Thank you, Alvin!
Melody D.
Bei Bei, Alvin, and popcorn, what could be better than that?
Elizabeth C.
Fantastic absolutely fantastic. Alvin wonderful tour guide. Alvin knows the pandas by names. So much fun. It’s like we are really there walking and seeing the pandas in person. Thank you Alvin and My Panda Tours. Ready for the next tour
Dr. J.
Tour #35 at Chengdu with Alvin on 3/5/22 was wonderful. Many pandas were out, including red pandas, probably waiting for online panda fans to show up. Alvin took us to see many pandas, some known to us and also some not seen so frequently on web pages. It was terrific to see Mei Huan looking so lovely and the beautiful Po. Little He Hua was in the neighborhood but was busy with family/friends. The panda phone call connection was hilarious. Attached is a screenshot of A Bao talking to Gong Zai and they spoke for quite awhile. It was probably about football, bamboo, and girls. Even though the WiFi connection was great, we could not eavesdrop on the conversation! Maybe next time. Thank you, Alvin!
Dr. J.
Tour #34 on February 26, 2022 with Alvin from DJG panda base was yet another excellent tour. I don’t know how he manages to do it week after week with the same enthusiasm, but then these are pandas and they bring out the best in everyone. Again, it was wonderful to be a part of this, to see our pandas and panda friends. Of course, I think it goes without saying that the highlight of the tour was seeing our most beautiful Bai Yun of San Diego!! She is well taken care of and looks magnificent now. It was also fun to see Qing Qing, Bao Bao Zai, Nong Nong with Lu Lu, as well as other beautiful pandas. Thank you for letting me be a part of these wonderful tours. The attached picture is one that Alvin posted and the lettuce head/hat looks so cute!

Alvin is the best! He arrives at the bases before anyone else, braving all kinds of weather, and heads immediately to find pandas we know and love. While there, he talks to the keepers and tries to find answers to our questions. I always look forward to the next tour!

If you ever wanted to see pandas up close and personal without traveling to China this is the zoom trip to take. Alvin is great with giving us stories not only about the pandas, but also about the culture and wonderful places to see if you ever travel there. So come see and learn about the pandas with Alvin and zoom tours!

What a thrill to see Bei Bei! I love the whole idea of a virtual tour. I will probably never be able to go to China and this is the next best thing for me to see the pandas I adore. Alvin is a fabulous tour guide and the love he has for the pandas really shines thru. This made my day!

Always enjoy seeing Bei Bei.

Tour #32 on 1/22/22 to Chengdu Panda Base, with Alvin of My Panda Tours, was extraordinary and one of my favorite tours. All of these tours are a dream come true especially for those of us who will never have the opportunity to experience these trips in person. It was also wonderful to see and to talk with panda friends by zoom. Not only did we go to one of my favorite places, but Alvin took us to both the old and the new areas. It was fabulous! We got to say hello to panda favorites such as Qi Yi Wifi, who had excellent reception by the way, Po, and others. Of course the main attraction was not so much a panda this time but the Bamboo (shoot) Panda Tower. Even just driving up to it already demonstrated its magnificence. Alvin took us inside and showed us the layered structures plus the golden bamboo and the view overlooking Chengdu City. There was more, but for me, that was the highlight of my tour as well as being there to see panda friends and to participate in such a wonderful journey. The new part will be open in the spring so we were very lucky to see the completed part in advance of that time. I can only imagine how gorgeous it will be when more of it is completed. Thank you, Alvin!

In such difficult times, where we can not see the Pandas personally, it is so very important to have the precious Panda Tours by Alvin! His wide knowledge and love for the Animals always makes us feel like we were there! Thank you !!!!
