An exploration of Xian's history through the eyes of out your guide Carol

An absolute five-star experience with one of the best tour guides in Xi'an who brought the city's incredible history to life from start to finish! Carol was deeply knowledgeable, incredibly organized, and made navigating such a packed itinerary completely effortless. Standing before the scale and detail of the Terracotta Warriors was mind-blowing, and our guide's storytelling made every single face feel personal and unique. Moving into the city, the pacing was perfect. We admired the striking architecture of the historic Bell Tower and Drum Tower before diving into the vibrant atmosphere of the Muslim Quarter. Visiting the serene, culturally blended Great Mosque of Xi'an was a peaceful highlight amidst the bustling food stalls and local treats. Finally, taking in the massive 14km ancient Xi'an City Wall and its grand gates capped off an unforgettable 3 days. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a seamless, insightful, and engaging tour!

Operator response

Thank you for your absolutely glowing and detailed review. We're delighted to hear that Carol's deep knowledge, organization, and storytelling brought Xi'an's incredible history to life for you over three unforgettable days. From the Terracotta Warriors to the City Wall, it sounds like you experienced the best of the city with perfect pacing. We truly appreciate your high recommendation.

Exploring China with a friend, Rita

We had a wonderful experience with Rita! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and so easy to connect with. During our visit to the Terracotta Warriors, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, she shared so much about the history and Chinese culture, making the experience even more meaningful and interesting. She also took us to a great local restaurant with delicious, authentic Chinese food, good coffee place and helped me with my souvenir shopping. When I wasn’t feeling well, she kindly took the time to help me at a pharmacy, which I truly appreciated. Rita made us feel like we were exploring China with a friend. Thank you for such a memorable experience in Xi’an! 🇨🇳❤️

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful and generous feedback! We're thrilled that Rita's warm personality and deep knowledge stood out to you so much that she felt like a friend. Her extra care with the pharmacy stop, great local dining recommendations, and help with shopping truly show her dedication.
