This was an extremely memorable trip, and I am very grateful for the arrangements made by Light Particle. The itinerary was well-organized, with the tour guide contacting me the night before to confirm the pick-up time. They arrived punctually at my hotel the next day to take me to the attractions, which was incredibly considerate. Of course, if airport transfers were needed, they could also pick me up from the airport and take me directly to the hotel, making everything very convenient. The morning itinerary included the Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Qin Shi Huang’s Bronze Chariots and Horses, and a workshop, it’s an unparalleled experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. The tour guide was highly professional, providing detailed explanations about the Terracotta Army culture of the Qin Dynasty and even teaching me some local Chinese. By the way, both the boss and the tour guide are locals, so they're completely trustworthy. They were also very thoughtful in providing bottle water and lunch, and I had the chance to try local specialties during the meal. In the afternoon, I could freely choose one or two attractions to visit, with a dedicated driver for transportation. I opted for the Xi’an City Wall and the Muslim Quarter, immersing myself in the local slow-paced culture and culinary traditions. Renting bicycles to ride along the City Wall was an absolute delight and a truly unforgettable experience. In the evening, I sampled many local delicacies at the Muslim Quarter, making it a truly wonderful day. In the end, after comparing multiple options, I chose this product because it includes two attractions admission tickets and even features terracotta warriors workshop, making it a great value for money. I only wish the trip could have been longer, and I hope to have the opportunity to return for another amazing experience.
