The 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.

A 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🙏🙏

Wendy 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.

Wendy 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!
