          Family trip to China
          Hi Emily, we all had a great time in China and my brothers and sisters all enjoyed our time together visiting Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen. Kitty, Patrick and Amy are excellent guides. They gave us good information and were very patient with a group of 11 seniors, some with limited mobility. Thank you very much for arranging the trip.

          Terracotta warriors and Xi’an day tour
          It was such a good, well organised and interesting tour. Our guide Lily was so knowledgeable and friendly and great at communicating. I booked this tour so that my parents would have a fun and educational day out in Xi’an and they loved it! Would absolutely book again and highly recommend if you want to see the sights of Xi’an and get to know all the interesting history of the city as well!

          Amazing Tour of Xi’an
          We had the opportunity to book a tour with Travel China Guide. Our guide in Xi’an Carol Chen was a fantastic guide right from the moment she picked us up from the airport to the time when we separated to go to the airport. We wished we had stayed longer and continue the tour with the others. She has so much detailed information about the City and the history of Xi’an during the time of the five dynasties. She took us to see the Terracotta Soldiers, City Wall, tour the bustling Muslim town and view the Chinese opera show. Her narrations were excellent while on our way to each site and also at each specific location. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We are very pleased with the Xi’an tour.

          One-Day Tour to Xi’an Famous Spot
          Our tour was scheduled on 6-Nov. Tracy was our guide and Mr. Wen was our driver. They picked us up at the hotel lobby on time, and we swiftly arrived at the Terracota Museum early, and beat most of the crowd. Luckily, Tracy gave us route recommendations and good time to stroll around without many crowds. The lunch at the small restaurant was nice. We spent rather relax time at the Small Goose Pagoda and The City Wall, it was really enjoyable. Overall, it was a great day-tour! I will definitely recommend it to my friends who wants to go to Xi’an.

          So much to experience in Xi’an
          Xi’an truly is the capital of culture! While the terracotta warriors is a highlight, the city has so much more. We luckily had an amazing guide, Susan, who introduced us to the rich heritage and helped us to explore the city and the delicious regional specialties. We particularly enjoyed cycling the city wall (a must do!) along with the unique lunch in the Muslim quarter. Susan tailored the tour to our interests and gave us insight into the life of the local people. I would recommend this tour and if you have Susan as your guide you will learn a lot and have fun!

          Great activities, helpful and informative guide, good group size. Terra cotta warriors were amazing. I personally could have skipped the museum and instead spent more time at the city wall, but that’s just my personal preference

          Incredible trip
          We had the most worth spent time visiting the terracotta army. Our guide Jacky explained Xi’an history and the army history from the moment we started the trip. He took us in all 4 halls in the museum and placed us in the best spots to take pictures. Definitely recommend this tour with Jacky, you will have amazing time.

        Roger was my guide for the day in Xian. Thoroughly enjoyed his company. He is impressively well versed in the history of the warriors and the period of their making. Got to meet the farmer who discovered the archeological site. Highly recommend Roger. Thank you so much for the excellent day trip.

        So we were a bit concerned about how to select an agency and tour guide for our day trip to Xi'an. We picked this one based on reviews and were extremely satisfied. It was money very well spent. We came away from this day feeling the money we spent was very well spent. Our guide was very knowledgeable, she was hard-working, courteous, insightful, interesting and just a fun person to be with (Celine was our tour guide). She adapted the tour based on our interests and needs. This is the tour I would pick if I ever go back. Highly satisfied.

        One of the main reasons for visitng China was to see the Terracotta Warriors. We were only due to be in Xi`an for one whole day. Unfortunately the night before our visit, my husband became really unwell with such a bad stomach upset that he was too weak to walk. Our guide was wonderful. She initially took us to a pharmacy where we purchased medication. She then arranged a salted drink when we arrived at the site of the Terracotta Warriors and a guy with a wheelchair so that my husband wouldnt miss the tour.
        The tour was wonderful. Carol is both caring and so knowledgable. She also made it really interesting without being overloaded with information. It was a great trip and one that we will remember for a long time. If we had been booked on a large group tour I suspect we would have had to miss the tour altogether. Thanks so much Carol!

        Our private tour considered of 6 in a family group aged 7 to retired. We were all looking forward to the terracotta solders and were not disappointed. This was a highlight of our 2 weeks in China and tour guide Jacky made it ever better. Friendly, knowledgeable and willing to answer any question--he was terrific. We even met the farmer who discovered the soldiers in 1974 and he happily signed his book for us. Going to China -- don't miss the terracotta soldiers-- one of the wonders of the world and get Jacky to share the experience.

        I had a great time on my China Tour in Xi'an. Carol was our guide and she was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, informative, had a great sense of humor and made the trip most enjoyable. I traveled solo (by myself) but she made me feel very comfortable, like I was part of a family. The sites we saw (Terracotta Warriors and the City Wall) were unbelievable and the food was fantastic. This was by far my favorite city to visit in China. I will remember this trip forever and look forward to going back again someday. I highly recommend this Xi'an Tour and if you go, request Carol for the best experience possible. -Kenny S

        It was more spectacular than you can imagine. It was bigger than you can imagine. I mean vast! It was an incredible experience to see this!! Our Travel China Guide tour was led by Fred. He was outstanding! He had superb knowledge of Chinese history and excellent English. He was extremely attentive to our needs. He and our driver, Mr. Shi, made a great team. Mr. Shi pushed the wheelchair for my mom and he was very protective of her and very careful. Fred stayed in the restaurant with us to make sure my food allergies were accommodated. We ate at the Hauqing Aegean Hotel and it was amazing! It is also beautiful there. Later we went to the Muslim quarter and the Muslim mosque. I thought it was lovely. Fred was an excellent, professional, caring guide. The best!

        there was 6 of us on this trip and travel china organised the times of the trains and the tour to the terracota army altogether it took 3 days we arrived at the station a good 2 hours before our train was to leave so we had something to eat the train left at 20.40 on the monday night and we arrived xian at 8.31 in the morning
        the train journey was a compartment for 4 and 2 of us sharing with another 2 people which was alright. At each end of the train was toilets and wash rooms and hot boiling water to make pot noodles which could be bought from the trolley on the train. it was a long journey of stops and starts but if you were tired you would be able to sleep a good few hours.
        we arrived fresh and ready to go on our tour we where met by jackie who helped us to get my return tickets to beijing as i couldn't do that when we left and then we met our driver and started our tour to terracota army it was fantastice and great to see and jackie was very informative. he even entertained us with a couple of chinese songs. bravo we were unable to do the small wild goose pagoda but instead went to the city wall.
        they got us back to the station on time and showed us where to go for the train we said our goodbyes and thanked them.
        the journey to beijing took just as long and we arrived in beijing by 8.30 the next day.
        overall we were pleased to have done it and thank travel china for having this tour on their website.

        We had a fun day in Xi'an on June 6 with Lily, our tour guide. On our way to Terracotta Warriors display, Lily enthusiastically shared Xi'an's rich history with us "Xi'an city is a Living Museum" - wherever you dig in Xi'an, there is history to be found. Lily's knowledge about Xi'an's place in China history is vast and made us very familiar with the city. IAs we entered Terracotta Warriors display - it is very easy to get distracted by the crowds and the seemingly sameness of the warriors. But, she knew exactly where to stop - telling us what to look for in each pit (we visited all 3 pits). With Lily as our guide, we came back from our Terracotta Warrior visit with a much greater appreciation (hey, I almost qualified to be a guide myself). My wife, and our daughter also appreciated Lily's easy-going style, her English-speaking and communicative skills. We also did the tea sampling at the food court - located near Pit # 3.

        We also visited Big Wild Goose Pagoda - what a peaceful place and again, Lily told us the history where to take a perfect picture with the Pagoda in the background, the difference between the bell tower and drum tower - making our visit so much more meaningful.

        Lily went an extra mile to take us to a quick City wall visit as there was a short time left before our overnight train journey to Beijing, making sure we were seated in the right compartment (again, getting tickets from the right counter, waiting in the right platform - all would have been daunting with our lack of Mandarin speaking skills).

        Thank You Travel China Guide Tours and Lily and the driver (sorry to forget his name) for making our day in Xi'an so so Perfect.
