Of all tours we had this is the one we enjoyed the most, Michael was amazing and all the places we went were delicious. We started our tour a little bit late because our fault, but we was so kind and waited for us. The tour started hopping on bus and tuk-tuk to move from place to place, visiting xi'an in the night with all the lights and touristic spots. We ate a lot of different foods (at least, 7 or 8, we were totally full at the very least). Did some amazing things like drinking wine and breaking the vase for good luck, and visit all the muslim streets, the central square... we laugh a lot and talk so much even when our english was not good. He cared a lot for the rest of our trip, willing to help us if needed and we appreciate it so much. Without doubt, the best tour ever.
