Jackie was an excellent guide. He picked me up from my hotel and made everything easy from start to finish. He was very patient in explaining the intricacies of the exhibition and was always happy to answer my questions. His knowledge was extensive and clearly came from a genuine passion for the subject. I learned a great deal and would highly recommend this tour..
We had an excellent day with Micheal. He picked us up at the hotel. The drive out to the museum was full of information about modern China. The visit to museum was an illumination of ancient China. We were grateful for Michael’s extensive knowledge of this history of the founding dynasties of China and its cultural integration. It’s a new large well appointed museum fully focused on the founding era two thousand years ago. Micheal taught us a lot. He then took us for an authentic noodle lunch and taught us how to eat the noodles properly with cloves of fresh garlic. He was generous and lots of fun. He gave us lots of other recommendations for activities and restaurants. Highly recommend.
Michael picked us up from our hotel on time and was very knowledgeable about Xi’an and the history. Also was very kind to drop us off at our next location. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for the oranges Michael they were very sweet and delicious!
We have wonderful trips and details of historical site explanation by our tour guide, Micheal. He is very friendly and kind person to elaborate the history of whole session of the tour. Thanks for your kindness services.
It was great to book this Museum with a guide as the tickets are difficult to obtain Michael met us at our hotel and took care of the ticket purchase We loved the museum and his knowledge was so valuable in understanding Chinas culture and history After the visit he took us to a recommended restaurant near our hotel and ordered for us
The museum itself is very well structured and captivating, and well worth the visit, but it was our good guide Michael who made it a memorable experience, with his ability to convey with sympathy and in-depth history of the origins of this country, especially the founding of the Qin empire and later Han. In addition, the transfer by personalized car, in addition to being comfortable, was an opportunity for pleasant conversation and knowledge of the landscape, history and anecdotes, as well as excellent suggestion for lunch and the highly recommended visit to the Han Yangling archaeological area (by car not far from the airport) where there are the tombs of numerous Han emperors, the largest of which can be visited, not to be missed! Thank you so much to Michael!
Jackie took me out for what turned to be almost a whole day. Expertly navigating the metro system to get to and from the museum. His knowledge is extensive and made for a very interesting day
We had a fantastic time on this tour. Our guide Michael is a wonderful guide with very extensive knowledge of Chinese history and culture. He also has excellent English skills. The Qin-Han branch of the Shaanxi History Museum covers the Qin and Han dynasties, which were fundamental in the formation of Chinese cultural identity. They have many interesting artifacts and we saw about 7 national treasures. On this tour, Michael provided a great depth of information on the intangible roots of China from historical, cultural, governance, political, and economic perspectives. These perspectives greatly enhanced the museum's presentation of both the intangible and tangible origins of the Chinese nation, culture, and identity. Basically, if you think of modern China like a big tree, this tour and museum provide a deeper understanding of the "seed" and the young "sapling" stages of the tree's life. On the way back, in the car, we had a fascinating conversation about Michael's early life in rural northern China and how much the country has changed since then. I highly recommend this tour and only have good things to say about Michael's guidework. Thank you, Michael!
Jackie is too amazing. He's so passionate about history. I learned a lot today. And he even help me with my didi drama! Recommended!
