A great day in Xi’an with a wonderful guide

We had a really great tour with our guide Summer. We visited the Huaqing Palace which is beautiful and lots of interesting history which our guide shared with us. We then visited the terracotta warriors which was another fascinating place and again so much history and very interesting to see the warriors up close and learn all about them. We then had time to eat dinner in the market before heading to the “song of ever lasting sorrow” performance. This show is not to be missed - it is so mesmerising and beautifully performed. We had a really good day, and our guide had even gone to the trouble of leaving a gift for us at our hotel when we returned which was a very lovely gesture. Would highly recommend this tour.

Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that Summer's knowledge and thoughtful gestures - like the surprise gift - made your visit to Huaqing Palace, the Terracotta Warriors, and the "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" performance so memorable. It brings us joy to know you enjoyed the rich history and cultural highlights. Your high recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more special journeys in China! Warm regards, China Xian Tour

Terrible planning/coordination.

The guide was AMAZING. But the tour company was TERRIBLE. They were very slow to respond via messages and updated me terribly. They gave me the wrong number to the guide and booked a 6 hour gap in between my events. They literally expected the contracted guide/driver to keep me company for over 6 hours with nothing planned. Extremely frustrating. No fault to the guide/driver though as they both tried to help me with the company and did their best to accommodate me.

Enjoyable tour

My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. Guide Gao communicated very well in English and was knowledgeable. She was professional and attentive to our needs. The tour was relaxing and proceeded smoothly. Booking of the tour through email with coordinator Grace Chen was done efficiently and with a personal touch.
