Xi'an Huashan Mountain Adventure Day Tour

It was very nice to have finally a very young guide Michaelia. It gave us a completely different experience not only about the excursion, but also a look at how young people in China live, what problems they have, how they see the rest of the world, etc. It was a real fun. We wish we had spent more time with the guide. Also thanks for the drinks she bought us while waiting for our arrival from the mountains. The views - amazing. I admit we have never seen so many 20- and 30-year old young people walking with the speed of 70-year old ones :)

China Xi’an tour proivided good vehicle great services. Weather affected trip but it wasnt their fault. Tour guide Kai Chen was great guide, he provided all information and was with us for all time.

This private tour for family of 5 to Mount Huashan was well organised with a very patient and helpful tour guide and driver.

Tour includes travel to and from Huashan, with guide helping to purchase tickets (guide does not actually go up Huashan with you). Useful if looking for hassle free experience i.e. no need to work out public transportation timings and options, or tickets required

amazing day out, fully recommended, tough though on legs to see all peaks so be prepared. guide kai was knowledgable and helpful, driver super fun and cool too.

It was a very rigorous hike but worth every excruciating moment. I would recommend any traveler to the Shaanxi region to visit this amazing place. One thing I will say is that I expected a more guided tour but walking the mountain solo allowed me to meet some great people and even created a friendship that will last far beyond the hike. Be prepared to walk atleast 10 kilometers if you want to see all the main peaks. I didn't even get the chance to view the middle peak so to view all the peaks must be atleast a 12-13 kilometer hike so be prepared for this. I wasn't physically prepared so my calves are still burning but it was worth it. Also definitely place a lock on the mountain where no one else has placed one because it gives a sense of connection to the mountain.

My partner and I had a blast on this tour! We booked at the last minute for the next day but they were great. They returned emails within 10-15 minutes and when I called them via Skype from our Xi'an hotel, their English was easily understandable. We wanted a day of being catered to and that is exactly what we got. We were told that our guide would call between 5-8 p.m. to verify pick-up but we were out at dinner. We came back to find message on our phone; the first at 5:05 p.m.We were picked up on time by our guide Tony and our driver Mr. Wu. They were friendly and engaging and water ready for us. Tony took care of everything (buying tickets and pointing us in the right direction). He made a point of repeatedly telling us to take our time, that no matter when we descend, he will be waiting. When he came down four hours later, he surprised us by offering more water and fresh fruit (oranges and one of the local apples which are huge).Team, thank you again! It was one of our highlights of Xi'an.

Our tour guide Isaac was really helpful in getting us the tickets, explaining how everything works, where to go and what to do in emergencies. We originally wanted to go up to the north peak and come down via the north peak but he mentioned this would mean doubling the hike time and recommended we go from the west peak to the north peak and this was honestly the better option and we're glad he recommended it. Walking the mountain trail offers amazing views and is a great experience and I recommend going with this tour group - there are so many tickets involved and it can get confusing so it's good to have a support system there!

Huashan is one of the 5 sacred mountains of China. The scenery is fantastic and the hiking experience excellent, only dependent on your fitness and availability of time. Many choose, as I did, to take the cable car up the West peak, which is in itself a fun trip. There are five peaks you can walk to once you arrive. I hiked to the top of the West and East, and also visited, but did not attempt, the plank on South Peak. The clean air and cloudless skies were a bonus given the normal air quality in Xian and surrounding area. Keep in mind that the bus trip from the visitor's center along with the cable car will set you back about US$80. A great day in the mountains and visiting during the low season meant the crowds were small. You can of course climb up the entire mountain, though the impression I had was that you should be young and/or experienced to do so.

<p>Tour was great. Everything went like clockwork getting to and back from the mountain. Moutain was beautiful, but would have liked another day to see everything. Tour guide was nice and professional.</p>
