          Perfect Tour
          This was an incredible tour. Our guide Betty demonstrated excellent foresight in her planning of our trip, insuring we had adequate time and got to each dig site. She demonstrated expertise in Tang, Qin, and Han culture and history, giving expert answers to all questions we asked. Lastly, she has a fun and witty personality that is essential for any teacher in order to make learning fun and informative. My family was exceptionally happy with this Tour and will recommend it to all our family and friends back home.

          Must try show, English translation for foreigners on screen and food/wine available
          The show is amazing with lot of nice visual effects and the artists are well trained. It felt like almost a perfect stage show. For foreigners, there is a english translation on the screen so you can follow the story. The place serves food and wine/beer so you can enjoy that

          Great Trip with Outstanding Tour Guide
          I have taken many, many tours in over 50 countries, and I can honestly say our tour guide, Lin, was the best I’ve ever had. The tour itself was incredible, but it was enhanced by her presence, great information (she speaks English fluently), and, especially, her kindness and consideration. She is the best.

          Terracotta Warriors Solo Trip
          Pickup was smooth and flawless from the hotel to the attraction. Crystal and I had a good conversation about chinese medicine and she gave me tips on how to speak Mandarin. The tour was a lot of fun and she answered all of the questions I had. She also held onto my bag so I could take nice photos. The food we had after was also very nice. I would definitely recommend her to others!

          Dumplings and show
          The show was really great, colourful and interesting and there was an English story to follow along so you could understand what was happening. The dumpling dinner was also quite good, the dumplings look small but are very filling and presented beautifully! Really nice experience that I booked for my parents and they both loved it

          Amazing time on the mountain
          It was a rainy day but that worked out perfectly as it made the mountain less crowded with no wait for the bus, cable car or paths on top. We were fortunate that the weather cleared when we got to the top. Betty- our guide- was great and very informative including dinner recommendations. She also stayed with my mom (77 but in very good shape) while I went off to climb towards the middle peak once we reached the top of north peak. There we were greeted with stunning, majestic views surrounded by melodious calls from other visitors. Magical! It is understandable why this place is so important in China. Even if it were crowded it would be worth the trip. Just an incredible and special landscape. Just the cable car ride itself was thrilling. Being picked up and dropped off was a true luxury as well. Our driver (Zhang) was excellent especially as it was rainy and cloudy with heavy traffic on the drive out. He even played Chinese music for us at our request on the trip back. The tour operator (Jeff Ning) also checked in on us since it was bad weather, so the service was excellent by every measure.

          We had a great experience! Jeff Ning came through with the front row seats! The dumpling dinner was more than we could eat and extremely delicious! We are from the USA and love China!

        Meria was a great tour guide as we saw the two pagodas, city wall, lunch at the Muslim quarter, and city museum. She is good with kids and knows much about the city and its long history. Make sure to bring your walking shoes!

        Lin, who is my tour guide, has walked me through Chinese history in Qin Dysnaty with lots of stories about Qinshihuang and his Teracotta Army, which made things become alive and very exciting. Seeing the history people's craftmanship will definitely make you astonished and winder hoe they can make things to this exquisite level. Lin is more than a tour guide, but a friend. She spent whole day with me, accompanying me, sharing Xian's history and introducing local food with me. I highly recommand this tour for everyone. Thank you so much, Lin.

        Incredible tour. Hard to pick a favourite spot. For history the Terracotta Warriors can't be beat. The guide, Lin, was very knowledgeable and had lots of information that she was ready to share. For food and culture, the Muslim Quarter is also excellent and I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody wanting to immerse themselves into Xi'an's local customs and flavours. The guide had a lot of local knowledge, and was able to show off the absolute best parts of the area, and was always ready to answer any questions.

        I had a wonderful Xian day tour with Ms. Betty. The best part of spending the day with her was that she took the time to teach me about the local culture and history of Xian. I got so much more out of the tour because of her knowledge. I would highly recommend this tour and Ms Betty to anyone interested in an English based tour of Xian.

        Went on a trip to Terra Cotta Warriors and Ming Wall. The feeling of looking at the 8th wonders is amazing. It is indeed magnificent and great. The Ming Wall was well preserved and views from the top was nice. Tour Guide Crystal Guo is a well trained guide and she was accommodating. Her knowledge is top !

        Lin was a fantastic and enthusiastic guide for my day tour - extremely knowledgeable and friendly! As a solo female traveler, she helped me tailor a plan for my one day tour based on my preferences and recommendations I had received from friends. She even gave detailed recommendations for the rest of my time in Xian! You can tell she really loves what she does - left a wonderful memory of the city for me!

        Today we choose to visit City walls, Big Wild goose pagoda, Muslim quarter , Mr Gao courtyard , Drum tower, followed by Stone tablet museum & cultural streets. We now say goodbye to Dodo who has navigated & informed us well throughout the day.
        We have had the most enjoyable day & would recommend you visit these venues.
