5 stars excellent tour! - Linn brought us to so many major attractions and the tour was very informative. We ended the tour with alot more knowledge of chinese history and appreciation for Xian.
It's not your typical tour where the tour guide brings you around and ends up in shops buying souvenirs. The lunch was awesome having a taste of what is the best biang biang noodle in town.

Highlights of Xi’an - Really enjoyed the highlights tour of Xi’an. From pick up from the hotel to dropping off it really was excellent. Maria is very knowledgeable and the food we had was excellent too. Highly recommend this tour as I imagine with the high number of tourists it can be very difficult to do it on your own.

Excellent - Our personal guide, Lin, was vivacious and knowledgeable. The trip itinerary was perfect. Lin was very patient and passionate when explaining the history of her beautiful city. Lin is also an avid photographer. Additlonal bonus! She acted as our personal photographer as well. Lin actually ran around different food places to buy some local snacks that were not available at the lunch restaurant. Her love and pride for her city was contagious. The driver was also very professional.

Loved the tour - I really enjoyed this tour. It is worth it to have a private guide to see the terracotta warriors as there's so much history and fascinating things to learn. The city walls are so peaceful to walk on. Definitely the tour to do if you have one day in Xi'an.

Excellent Xi’an - Having Lin tour us around Xi’an is probably the greatest highlight of our trip. We could tell she is passionate for both her city and her craft. She was patient with our need to start late and was sensitive to our interests and questions (We like learning about little details related to history.). All the sights were great, but meeting and finding a friend in Lin made them memorable.

Nice rainy day - Terra cotta visit was very interesting, my guide was passionate and very knowledgeable.
Had a good time at lunch, eating "traditional" food from Xi'an, I also had the opportunity to try differents teas !
Walking on the wall surrounding Xi'an is very relaxing since there was not many people.those ancient wall are very impressive.
On my way to the Muslim quarter now where I know I'm going to find good food and have a good time 😊
