We had an absolutely fantastic time in Xi'an and it wouldn’t have been the same without our guide Wendy. She was extremely helpful and attentive and went out of her way to make sure everyone was well looked after – she even came to the airport and picked us up which was really unexpected. Our group consisted of 18 boisterous men and one lady, but this didn’t affect her at all. She was very professional…even when some of the guys hopped on to the bus very hungover from a heavy drinking session the night before. Without your Wendy’s help we wouldn’t have understood the history behind the Terracotta Warriors or what we were looking at when we got there. The commentary she gave the whole time she was with us was excellent! Although when we went to Mt Huashan it was heavily fogged over, this trip was one of the highlights of all the time I have spent in China – I’m not sure why more westerners don’t go there. You need to be quite fit to make it all the way to the top, but even without the amazing views it was an awesome experience. I would definitely recommend that you ask for an early collection (i.e. 6am) so that crowds and long waits for tickets can be avoided (people start to queue for tickets at 5.30am). It would be a world class destination on the right day – even if you only go up and down the chairlift! I have travelled a lot in China over a period of 20 years and it’s great to see the country is finally opening itself to tourism. The emails and communication from your this agency were fantastic and everything was easy to transact. We would definitely recommend their services…we had an absolute blast
Liu (Nobel) was our Guide - he was fantastic - he had us for 2 days - Day 1 Terracotta Warriors and day 2 Mt Huashan. He was a excellent tour guide and spoke great English. He gave us loads of information and it was great having him escort us on the Mt Huashan Hike. He always had water in the vehicle for us and even bought some buns to share on the hike. He notified us the day before that the weather was not great for the hike and offered to swap the days around so we could get the most of our time in Xi an. The driver we had was also great. Booking through Chinaxiantour was easy and they kept communicating with us to ensure we had exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend this company and guide.
Dear kjubick, Thanks for sharing your experience and feelings about both the guide and our service. Noble is always very responsible and helpful who has received a lot praise from our clients. Besides, Mt Huashan, as one of the five famous mountains in China is indeed worth visiting. It's a place people can experience the most breathtaking climbing, view the natural scenery of magnificent peaks and precipitous crags. We are happy that you have appreciated the charm of the mountain already. Looking forward to meeting you again in future time. Have a nice day. Warm regards, Sophia
I visited HuaShan and the Terracotta warriors in January with ChinaXianTour. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend going to Xian in the Winter since there were NO line-ups anywhere. My tour guide told me the wait is 2 hours or more in the summer for many attractions and the crowds are huge. Huashan was excellent but be warned their are A LOT of stairs to climb. The views however are fantastic. My guide for 2 days was Noble. He called me the night before to confirm everything which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, Noble did a great job. He is knowledgeable about all the attractions and his English is good. Sophia, who help book the trip, was also excellent and super fast in providing tour details, pricing and all communications. Overall, ChinaXianTours did a great job!
Dear Robert, We feel so happy to see your kind feedback here and feel happier to know you had a wonderful experience with us. Yes, travel in Xian in winter indeed is a good choice as it avoid the peak season with lots of crowd. Besides, the scenery on the Mt. Huashan is really different and beautiful in winter. Last but least, thanks for your reviews about our guide Noble and consultant Sophia as well as recommend our company! Thank you so much! We hope we could offer service again for you in the future! Have a super nice day! Regards with thanks,
<p>Great tour til I was dropped at hotel and my guide effectively demanded a tip for the driver. She also expected a tip. Not aware tips were a REQUIREMENT. Don't recall seeing anything on website when booked. As a single traveller I'd paid a lot for trip and this ruined what had been a fab trip.</p>
