Thank you also for this beautiful tour.Bei Bei surprised us. It was amazing. It was amazing.We are happily waiting for the next tour.
maria m.
This tour like any other was magnificent. We love your work and of course we love the pandas very much. I can't wait for the next tour. Thank you very much for the efforts made to see these wonderful pandas.
Jeffrey W.
As usual, the tour was great. We really enjoyed seeing Bei Bei and he put on quite the show this visit. Keep up the great work. The tours make us very happy.
maria m.
Wonderful tour. We thank Alex for the effort made to be close to the beautiful pandas. Also many thanks to Alvin for creating this means of communication with pandas. We are looking forward to the next tour with great pleasure.
maria m.
Great pandas and a great guide. Many thanks Alex and Alvin.

Tour #88 on 4/8/23 to the Taipei zoo with Alvin was a new adventure and definitely worth watching. For those of us who have been following the pandas and keepers at the Taipei Zoo for years, it was a real experience to be able to see where they live. The zoo is gorgeous and the grounds are spectacular, especially the outside areas. The bamboo and the landscape are generous such that the pandas can even hide from viewers when they desire. There is enrichment that provides them with fun and activity. There is plenty of enrichment inside as well, and the areas are clean and kept up beautifully. We saw all three pandas although the appearance of Yuan Zai (“Yunni”) was much too brief, in my opinion. Tuan Tuan was sadly missed… I have followed Yunni since she was born. After having seen the pandas, Alvin took us to see much of the rest of the zoo and the various animals including birds, frogs, and this giant Asian fish. I would not like to be in the water with that particular fish! The poop art was hilarious! Thank you Alvin for yet another wonderful tour.
Jeffrey W.
The visit was great as usual. The timing was perfect as we got to see Bei Bei for quite a while. We love Bei Bei and always enjoy visiting him. It's so fun. Keep up the good work.
maria m.
Again a wonderful tour. Thank you Alex, Alvin and all who make this possible.
Dora J.
Alvin and Alex, both are amazing! They are highly knowledgeable and go out of the way to find out about the pandas on regular basis. They understand how much do the American pandas mean to us and are empathetic. The birthdays of DC born cubs are a blast with Panda tours. Thanks to Panda tours, we can see the American pandas thrive in China and connect with not only their legacy but many more pandas as well.
Josée P.
I loved the tour! It is so great to have an opportunity to see the pandas and especially ErShun (we miss her in Canada!) and her new babies! We get great views of the pandas as well as really interesting information. I also love the joy in Alex's voice and the fun he is having. It is so much fun! Thank you!
maria m.
Nice tour as always. Thank you Alvin, Alex and of course a big thank you to all the pandas.
maria m.
Thank you Alex and Alvin. It was a busier day in Chengdu and also warm. We enjoyed what we saw. To the next tour with pleasure. Thanks again for the beautiful moments.
Cathy R.
Alvin, I loved seeing our Bei Bei and how he's doing in China. Not surprised he is still eating, eating etc.! I was a surprised when he got up abruptly and went inside - seemingly giving "someone" the evil eye! That's not like our boy! He looks so good. Perhaps he'll have a little enrichment activities to give him something else to do other than eat! Thank you so much.
maria m.
Thank you Alvin also many thanks to Alex.The tours are wonderful, this tour to Bifengxia was as wonderful as the others. Thank you for helping us to see these beauties.
Cathy R.
I loved it! I don't have any suggestions to add - for me it's perfect. I really do like the option to view it later, though as I'm usually working when it's shown live. Watching it by myself is so much better as I seem to remember the good times we had when the pandas were with us at SNZ. I'm hoping it continues indefinately as, with others, I'm going to be so very sad when we lose Meizy, Tian Tian and our (not so little, anymore!) Miracle. If Bei Bei delights the crowd, wait until you have this very special boy. He's been the greatest gift Meizy could have ever provided all of us!
Jeffrey W.
We really enjoyed the tour and replay. Thanks for bringing us to Bei Bei. Keep up the great work!
kathy h.
Thank you Alvin for a wonderful visit to celebrate Tai Shan's 18th Birthday. I so appreciate your virtual tours to see our very special pandas
Kathleen D.
We virtually went to Tai Shans bday party. Alvin brought cake. It was incredible. We also talked with Tai's nanny. It was a tour to remember
Dr. J.
Tour #99 on June 23, 2023 at the Chongqing Zoo was wonderful. I especially enjoyed it because my Er Shun of Toronto and her Chinese twins were visited and I met Er Shun twice in person/panda in Canada. In 2017 I was also able to meet her Canadian twins. Although I would like to see Da Mao again, this tour revealed a very healthy and happy appearing Er Shun with her children. The zoo is kept up nicely such that the environment is clean. Alex also took us to see two sets of twins born on the same day, and these four were treated like royalty. They had magnificent toys and enrichment including a dining room table with four chairs and a car! Alex also took us to see four pandas and he narrated their eating of apples and bamboo, which was hilarious. I was saddened to learn that Alex’s grandmother died. It was amazing that he could conduct that tour under such difficult circumstances. Thank you Alex!
maria m.
It was a very beautiful tour. Chongqing Zoo like the other places is very beautiful.Many thanks Alvin and Alex for giving us a virtual tour of this wonderful place
maria m.
Thank you very much for the beautiful moments in Wolong with the pandas.It was a beautiful tour as always.Thank you Alex and Alvin.
Jeffrey W.
We loved the tour. Bei Bei is so great. This start time is a good one. We get to see him a lot. Good job!
Gloria D.
I always enjoy the virtual tours with Alex to "visit" with my special sweetie-pie Bei Bei at Bifengxia. I love Alex's sense of humor and he always goes over and above to get the best shots of my Bei Bei, even bordering on getting into trouble!
Jeffrey W.
We really enjoyed our visit with Bei Bei. This start time was much better as well. We got to see more of Bei in action. Thank you and keep up the good work.
maria m.
Thank you for the nice tour. It is a great pleasure to be able to see the pandas that are not always on the cameras. Appreciate your effort to make these tours possible. Thanks again.
maria m.
The tour was also very beautiful. Bei Bei and the other beautiful pandas are adorable. Hopefully we can see them again. Thank you very much for all your efforts.We appreciate these tours, your work and the work of the staff at the pandas bases. Thanks again.
Jeffrey W.
I only got the replay this time, but we really enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing Bei Bei to us.
maria m.
Beautiful tour as always. We are waiting for the next one. Thank you very much for the beautiful moments with Bei Bei and the other pandas.
Kathleen D.
Alex is so very knowledgeable regarding pandas and the geographic area. He also has a great sense of humor. Add in the pandas and their genealogy the virtual tour is just like being there in person. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. Good job to everyone involved
maria m.
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

Josée P.
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 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!

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.
