5.00Awesome tour and amazing views. Wendy was great the whole time, helping us get tickets for the plank walk, explaining legends around Huashan and guiding us to the best viewpoint. This tour is easily one of the best of our trip.

5.00Wendy did an amazing job organizing our day trip to Huashan. She carefully monitored the weather conditions and continuously adjusted our plans to ensure we had the best possible experience with the least crowd possible. She was especially attentive to the older member of our group and found solutions that allowed everyone to enjoy the trip comfortably. Her thoughtfulness and flexibility made the day enjoyable for all of us. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information throughout the journey. She also knows all the best spots for photos and helped us capture some wonderful memories. Her expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her guests made this a truly outstanding experience. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone planning a visit to Huashan.
Absolutely amazing hiking experience!

5.00We went on a full day tour of Mount Huashan with Wendy. She was an absolutely incredible guide, providing historical information and cultural background and giving detailed responses to our questions. She was also very determined to make sure that we do and see as much as possible, and was instrumental in enabling us to do the plank walk, the chess pavilion and all five peaks. Wendy was also super enthusiastic and helpful throughout the whole day. You should definitely book this tour if you want a comprehensive, engaging and professional tour of Mount Huashan!
Awesome trip!

5.00Wendy met us at the hotel for early pickup for our trip to Huashan as we chose to go during Golden Week. With her advice, we were able to miss all the lines and she tailored our hike to cover the most beautiful views while minding the physical limitations of our group. She also helped us set up Alipay as the app has been giving us issues. Highly recommend her and her group for tours!
Cannot recommend this enough for those who enjoy the challenge

5.00My guide Ding was very knowledgeable and paced the tour very well. We did all 5 peaks in 5 hours, a very enjoyable experience and a great challenge. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Between how thoughtful the driver was by ensuring we were prepared, and Ding being such an enthusiastic guide I can easily say this is one of the best days. Definitely the highlight of my trip.
If you want to go to Huashan, this is the only company tour you can think of. You really have the best support.

5.00It is the best tour company. I applied because I wanted to walk along the long sky pier. They gave me a lot of information before we started. The driver was very attentive to the driving and the contact person was really very supportive to the end. I definitely recommend this company tour if you are going to Huashan. The weather is luck, but people can choose. Thank you so much for making my trip to Xi'an the best memory I have ever had.
Amazing Views and Excellent Guidance on Hua Shan

5.00The Hua Shan hiking tour from Xi’An was a great experience. Regardless of the cable car, the trail is quite strenuous and requires some effort, but the views and atmosphere on the mountain are truly worth it!! Our guide, Wendy, was very helpful, patient, and friendly. Everything was right on time, and she accommodated all of our requests during the day. I was travelling with my mum (69 years old), and Wendy made sure she was never left behind and always felt comfortable with the pace. Her explanations were clear, and her support made the hike much more enjoyable 🙂. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience nature blended with culture (as there are quite a few temples and pavilions to explore on the peaks of this holy mountain), and is comfortable with a slightly more challenging hike, and we also highly recommend Wendy for her kindness and professional guidance.

5.00A word Wow, I add spectacular, mystical, for those who know a bit about Chinese culture, in this place, there is an air of spirituality, thank you Wendy for letting us discover this fantastic place. I state, you have to be a minimum trained, the routes are different, some easy others difficult, but rely on Wendy, with her preparation and knowledge of the places, will guide you on the best routes. The choice of the guide is often fundamental, and that is why, for the second time, in the space of three years, I chose to rely on Wendy, a person prepared, capable and available beyond the task of the tour, thank you very much ❤️❤️, Wendy🙏🙏
Great tailor made tour

5.00Wendy helped me organize a day tour in Xi’an. I wanted to visit Hua Shan mountain in the morning and at the Terracotta Army in the afternoon, but this tour is hard to organize in one day without a private driver and a good plan. The driver was kind, a good driver and helped me with everything. The guide at the Terracotta Army was also knowledgeable. Wendy was always there not in person, but we chatted a lot on WeChat, she explained me some meanings on Hua Shan mountain and gave me a lot of advice even the next day, where to go to eat, how visit the Xi’an wall and so on. I couldn’t visit these attractions without Wendy’s help and for me it was a great investment of time.

5.00Wendy picked us up for a fantastic trip to Mount Huashan Adventure from Xi'an. The only open cable car was from the North, so it was a little more strenouous walk from the North mountain and across, but it was absolutely wonderful!!! thank you Wendy for making the trip so smooth, seamless and much better than we expected! We had the best experience!
