Xian tour - Jerry was our guide, we did a private tour for myself and my mom. We had to shorten the tour due to our flight, however Jerry adapted to our needs and provided great insights into the history of all of our stops and was extremely patient and answered many questions. We were not rushed either, which was great): we visited all of the items listed except the Shaanxi museum as we had visited it the day before. Our only issue was the rain so we missed out spending more browsing time at the Muslim quarter.

Poor value for money - The tour organiser (Bruce) was great, flexible and speaks fluent English. We did a last minute tour request and he managed to organise the tour the next day. The costs of the tour for us (my wife and I) seems high compared with what had been advertised, Regarding the tour guide (Jerry), Bruce could have sent a different person who can speak better English and more keen to tell us a lot more historical details throughout the tour. In addition, we could not get to visit the Shaanxi History museum as the entrance tickets were not available. However the van driver was very helpful and friendly.
