My friends and I needed to fill up our last afternoon in Xi’an and found this tour — we loved it! Our guide’s name was Erin, she was super friendly and gave us historical background at every activity we did. We had plenty of time to take photos, ask questions, and watch the artisans make all different types of crafts on the street. The highlight for me was Xiangzi Temple area, where we had the best tea and local gelato. If you’re an English speaker planning to visit the beautiful city of Xi’an, I highly recommend booking this walking tour :)
Great experience and worth it

I was nervous joining this tour because I haven't seen many reviews, but I'm so glad I did it! The tour guide is really nice and it was perfect for my friends and I who don't know any Mandarin or anything about China. We got a good feel of modern culture and historical practices too. Our tour guide is native to Xi'an and gave us lots of recommendations for other spots to hit up and good food recommendations too. I love my little terracotta warrior too lol
