We really enjoyed our tour with Agnes and Mr.Guo! Day 1 we attended Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors (It was amazing, spent nearly 4 hours, warning it’s a busy place), Xi’an Banpo Museum (very interesting excavation site, not busy at all) and Muslim Quarter - nice exposure to different aspect of Xi’an cultural history. Day 2 we attended Xi’an city wall, Tomb of Emperor Jingdi and Xi’an Museum- we enjoyed all the locations, they weren’t busy and we could take our time to explore! Our guide Agnes was super nice, very friendly, well informed and answered all our questions with a warm smile! We recommend this tour if you want to have a deeper experience of Xi’an other than seeing the Terracotta Warriors as we learned a lot and it has rich history!

We had a 2 day tour with Rosa. We have travelled around the world and done many tours, and she was one of our best guides. She was patient, and explained the history of China/Xi’an city very well. Our lunches felt like we were on a food tour of xian! No touristy places, all places where locals eat. The food was amazing. She helped us arrange our two days so that we could maximize our time. I would highly recommend Rosa as a tour guide, especially if you have a limited time in Xi’an and want to be able to learn about the history from the Neolithic period, to the terracotta warriors and Silk Road, as well as experience the many different type of cuisines that Xi’an has to offer.

Right after I booked the tour, Christine (owner) and Cindy (tour office) reached out. We then sorted out which sights I wanted to see for each of the two days. Our guide, Agnes, met us in our hotel lobby on time. She was super knowledgeable and friendly, has lots of stamina for each of the days. Our driver was very safe. I would highly recommend this tour. There are plenty of options available to customize your tour and I felt they covered a good range of interests.
