it was on summer discount so it was definitely worth it. guide was very knowledgeable and patient. only downside was that the lunch provided was very average, definitely could've been better, and also they could've at least provided a bottle of water.

my family and I had such a nice time during this trip. our Guide was Carol, and she was so lovely and knowledgeable. she always took care of the group and shared a lot of history. The tour was very thorough and covered the main attractions to see in Xian. Because we only stayed for two nights, it was very helpful to take this off the list in one tour. i must say, the food was also not bad at all. We have tried food from different tours, and this was definitely one of the best we tried lol. At the end, they also give you the choice to be dropped off back at the hotel or to stay at the Muslim Quarter, which really shows how much flexibility they provide during this tour. Once again, I want to praise Carol for her professionalism and for truly representing the hospitality of China.

convenient pick location near our hotel and drop off location near Bell Tower. Zem was clear and patient in providing instructions. he provided a lot of information on Huashan and was constantly communicating with our group via WeChat. the views from Huashan was stunning and breathtaking.

I want to start by thanking Ruby the most charming and characteristic woman I have met in the tour industry, your knowledge and connection to the community made this visit to your beautiful city a once in a lifetime experience for me. I am truly grateful you showed me and my wife around today. the tour was extremely enjoyable and very informative, it was well planned and had some extra surprises that truly made it even more memorable ( they aren’t listed in description but just trust ruby )

The tour communicated with us 2days before. The driver and guide are very punctual. Our guide 陈芳is very details and engaging. As we have kids travelling with us, she is so patient and give us quiz to keep my children entertain. The car given is so spacious and comfortable. I would recommend this tour if you only have limited day in Xi'an.

We had an amazing experience visiting the Terracotta Warriors! Our guide, David, truly made the tour unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in great detail, making the history come alive. He patiently answered all of our extra questions and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. On top of that, he even helped us take some fantastic photos to remember the day. Highly recommend this tour, thank you, David, for such a wonderful experience! They also sent a nice ride to pick us up and arrived early. Great service!

It was not so easy to find due to the staff not speaking English, and since the return claimed to be from 13:00 onwards, without having to reserve a time beforehand, the staff seemed very confused as to whether we could use the shuttle or not. Besides this, the bus was very comfortable, with a good driver and left us right at the parking lot, very convinient and would strongly recommend.

Another long ride(4hour one way) from Xian. Weather not favorable the first half, the rest of the day was cooling. The view of the murky water that flowing down from the plain down to the yellow river has the wow factor. Driver is patient and alert throughout the trip; tour guide He dao is knowledgeable and helpful. On the return journey we visited the first emperor historic site, good for peoples who like history and culture.
