Elith was my guide for this trip. She was an excellent guide, explaining everything clearly and taking me to all the places mentioned on the tour and more. The only disappointing thing, and through no fault of hers, was that I couldn’t cycle on the wall. Age discrimination! So be aware that the maximum age to cycle is 65. We tried at three different spots and got a firm “no” on all. So we walked instead. We had a nice local meal, and a leisurely stroll through the Muslim quarter. I highly recommend this trip and this guide.
Linda was a great tour guide. She taught us a lot about the history of xi’an. She was friendly and considerate. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour!
Our one-day tour of Xi’an was long, but excellent. We visited the Terracotta Warriors, City Wall and Muslim Quarter. The Terracotta Warriors were the highlight of our visit. The City Wall was interesting. We could have done without the brief Muslim Quarter visit. The Chinese lunch provided was outstanding. Also, our same-day round-trip flights from Beijing to Xi’an worked out very well and used quality air carriers. Our guide Owen was outstanding. He had excellent English speaking skills, was very informative and attentive to our needs. Our driver “Mr. Wong” was good in difficult traffic conditions. We highly recommend Owen, Mr. Wong and Catherine Lu Tours when touring Xi’an.
