          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

          Impressive Experience & Amazing Tour Guide
          Our guide Crystal and driver Leo were friendly, informative and helpful. Crystal called us as soon as we arrived to our hotel to recommend we visit earlier in the morning due to it being super busy for the public holiday. We paid an extra $100RMB ($50ea) for headsets once we were at the site museum so we could hear her whilst walking around. We found her to be very professional and gave great recommendations of what else we could do in Xi’an. 10/10- wish we had her as our tour guide for everything!

          Trip to the Terracotta Warriors
          Jeff Ning contacted us after the booking and helped to get into contact with ourguide. He was very polite and quick to respond, making sure our experience will be the best. Fantastic organisation. Our guide was Ms Amanda, she was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole trip. The information about the history of Xi'an and the warriors was fascinating and Amanda was very knowledgable about everything. She was lovely and polite,making sure we understand everything and staying together. The restaurant was delicious and stunning. The mausoleum itself is gorgeous and breathtaking. The whole expereience was incredibly well organised and smart. We had a wonderful afternoon with Ms Amanda, Xi'an is beautiful and the Terracotta Warriors were captivating. 5 stars all around for the whole trip. Hopefully we can visit again, and Amanda can be our guide again and thank you Jeff Ning! Fanni, Flora and Maria Date of experience: 28 September

          Excellent tour, amazing experience
          We had a wonderful time with Ms. Crystal as our guide to the Terra-cotta Warriors. Her English is excellent. She was knowledgeable and informative, and her humor made the trip even more enjoyable. I would recommend her and the Jeff Ning group to anyone interested in seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors.

        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.

        The day trip to the wall was amazing! We drove a little further which was well worth the drive because it was quieter. The cable car ride was a beautiful way to see the sites. The Summer Palace was quite spectacular. Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable and guided us through the crowds with ease.

        Amazing experiencia! I did the tour with Lin, and she started telling me about the history of the mount and of Xian as son as the car picked me up at the hotel. We reached all the peaks, and throughout the entire day I got to learn a lot about the culture and history of Xian. Lin also recommended me places and restaurants to visit and she even helped me with subway instructions to move around, she was the best guide in China by far! Great tour!

        The views are amazing, Linn brought us on a brisk walk and was considerate of our speed. There was explanations of history of Huashan as well as key photo taking locations and we went back tired and fulfilled.

        Going up the west peak by cable car and coming down from the north peak by cable car is highly recommended!

        Dodo was a great tour guide. She was able to answer all our questions about the mountain. She also explains the history. This tour pays for the cable car and shuttle bus, most others do not. The guide takes you up the cable car and then you hike on your own. Suggestions on where to go are provided. Bring snacks or lunch to eat on your hike!

        If you’re looking for a totally unique tour experience you can’t beat Jeff Ning’s Private Day tour of Mt. Huashan with Round-Trip Cable Car from Xi’an. Our guide, Tilla, was excellent and gave us an authentic flavor of Xi’an with very colorful detail of it’s history and culture. This tour was worth the money just for the bus ride to the mountain. She really was phenomenal! Once we got to Huashan we boarded a cable car that provided us with a once in a lifetime experience of breathtaking views and plenty of photo opps. Once the cable car reached it’s destination we were offered more spectacular views and plenty of hiking. Comfortable shoes are a must! We wore light weight tennis shoes and did fine.

        This was a great tour and a fantastic experience.

        What a fantastic view on the way up with cable car. If you are acrophobic, this is one way to conquer. But all in all, a nice trip.
        Also, our guide was very accommodating, we spent 2 hours between the passage when we agreed on only 1, because the view was just totally amazing.
