The experience was incredible, but our guide was responsible of our greats moments, always gentil and taking care of us, thank you Maria
My favorite part of the experience was the tea tasting. It was fun to try different teas that normally we could not try. In addition, our tour guide Lin was so friendly and helpful. She will be what we truly remember about our experience. The driver was also fantastic and always picked us up close to our location.
This tour was a perfect way to be introduced to Xi’an, and Lin was a fantastic guide! We learned so much about the history of the city, the Terracotta Army, and the local cuisine. I will recommend this tour to any friends who come to Xi’an in the future, especially for international guests. Lin’s English is very, very good, and she even took the time to write down recommendations for things we can do the next day and wrote clear instructions on how to get to each place. I can’t recommend this tour enough!
