This was an excellent tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I really only went to Xi'an for the Terracotta Warriors, but the guide suggested a myriad of other cool activities to do afterwards. I ended up visiting the city wall, the muslim district, and seeing a cool show with a dumpling meal accompaniment. All in all a wonderful day, and well worth doing.

First time in Xi’an, we decided to get a guide as we wanted to know more about the rich history of this city. Jerry, our tour guide, was amazing. Even before we met him, he will send texts and reminders on the weather in xi an, and what to take note of before reaching. Not only did he recommend what are the shows worth watching in xi an, which indeed we fully enjoyed, he even recommended a few nice eateries near the hotel we were staying. He’s able to tell us Xian rich history simply. We highly recommended him and his partner (driver), Tom!

My friend and I were lucky enough to have Linda Guo as our guide on a recent trip to Xi’an, China. Linda was prompt, gracious and absolutely delightful! She shared her knowledge of the area, both past and present. Once at the warriors she made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and had answered all our questions before moving on. Again, sharing her knowledge of the warriors was just right - not too much to overwhelm but not too little either. For lunch, she took us to a restaurant and offered to order for us, which we eagerly accepted, but she would have been open to our own requests as well. The City Wall Tour, Drum Tower, Bell Tower, and a stroll down the Muslim Quarter food street concluded our tour. She was well aware when we were tiring and didn’t push us. I highly recommend Linda.
