Fabulous guide great company - This was our 2nd destination with Travel China Guides. We were pleasantly greeted at the train station by our guide, Celine, and the driver (Mrs Liu) who helped us take our bags to the car. They drove us to the holiday inn big wild goose pagoda which was a great hotel. The next morning we were taken to the terra-cotta warriors, which was beyond our expectations. Of note, Celine took the time on the drive over to do an excellent job of explaining the history behind that emperor and his Terracotta Army. She then took us to a fabulous restaurant on site for some yummy local noodles. After that we visited the Small Wild Goose Pagoda and were given a very informative tour. We finished the day at the Muslim market and mosque which we throughly enjoyed. The following day, they took us to the Xi’an city wall where we biked on the top (very fun). Lastly, we went to the Han Yangling Mausoleum which dovetailed well with the Terracotta Army.
Celine and Mrs Liu were exceptional. Celine’s English, knowledge of history, and passion for tour guiding made our visit so special. We truly thank Celine for her hospitality and Travel China Guides for arranging such an incredible visit.
More to follow.

Wonderful journey in Xi'an - We as a team of five spent two days with our travel guider Lily, she was so nice to organize the whole trip per our request, and very professional to introduce the whole journey and helped us know the city and Chinese history in a much better way. She's also very friend and patient, her recommendation of food are very good in terms of quality, price, service, environment etc. It is not an easy work to provide such a high quality service with the two days raining. Thanks a lot for her help to make this journey a wonderful one.

Private Tour of Xi'an and Terracotta Army Museum - Our visit to Xi’an was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Much of this is due to our guide, Jackie. He was the epitome of a professional guide, knowledgeable, organized, informative and very personable. In one and a half days we visited the Terracotta Army Museum, the City Wall and the Muslim Quarter, the Shaanxi History Museum, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda and had a wonderful lunch with a local family (who went out of her way to accommodate my wife’s food allergies). Thank you Jackie.

Tour of Xi’an with Mervyn from China Highlights - We recently visited Xi’an and had a fantastic guide named Mervyn through China Highlights. She was very personable and knowledgeable about the attractions we visited. She was flexible and patient (we take a lot of pictures) and allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted at various places. She was also extremely helpful in helping us find some personal we thought we lost. I highly recommend her.

Awesome Xi'an - The Terra Cotta Warriors were breathtaking and the Provincial Museum amazing. A special treat was the Tai Chi lesson arranged by my guide Lola. She organized a 1-on-1 lesson with a Tai Chi Master in Wild Goose Pagoda Park. Lola was awesome!

Xi’an with Travel China Guide Celine - We came to Xi’an for a weekend trip with our 11 month-old baby son. Thanks to Celine our trip was very interesting and really enjoyable. Celine was very courteous, always on time and extremely knowledgable about the city and its attractions. Most importantly, she showed great care and kindness towards our baby son and she knew very well how to interact with and entertain him. This made our trip so much easier and more comfortable. She happily accommodated us when we needed to make alterations to our itinerary and was very flexible to suit our needs. Celine is not only a great storyteller but she also has a thorough knowledge of the history of the city and the heritage sites we visited. She was always happy to answer all our questions. As we are currently living in Beijing, we particularly enjoyed talking with her about the day-to-day living in contemporary China. In addition, Celine gave us useful hints of where to buy things we needed, especially those for the baby. Her restaurant recommendations were very accurate and we ended up eating all our meals in the places she suggested. She always had our interest and safety in mind, and when we visited the muslim street she ensured that we savoured only the safe food (which was delicious nonetheless). We would definitely recommend seeing Xi’an and its top sights with Celine. Thanks to her, this was our best city trip in China so far.

Quick weekend in Xi'an - My family recently moved to Beijing and we wanted to travel within China over a short weekend. Cindy at Travel China Guide took care of everything from the train bookings to the hotel and the tickets to the Terra Cotta Warriors and other attractions.
Roger was a helpful guide and was good with our two young children.
Xi'an was a great city to visit, we really enjoyed the Terra Cotta Warriors and the Muslim Quarter "Snack Street". The Wild Goose Pagoda was impressive but not much to do there. However, the refurbished "Chinatown" area across the street is spectacularly lighted at night with lots of great food stalls and people-watching to be had.
Thanks to Cindy, Roger, and the rest of Travel China Guide staff who helped for a good weekend!
