- dgphilpot0 contributionsGreat Trip with Outstanding Tour GuideI have taken many, many tours in over 50 countries, and I can honestly say our tour guide, Lin, was the best I’ve ever had. The tour itself was incredible, but it was enhanced by her presence, great information (she speaks English fluently), and, especially, her kindness and consideration. She is the best.Written January 1, 2025

- jonathangH3931MY0 contributionsTerracotta Warriors Solo TripPickup 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!Written December 5, 2024

- glamstae0 contributionsDumplings and showThe 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 itWritten November 10, 2024

My guide was also very efficient and attentive. She helped me a lot with the translation and took amazing photos.Written November 9, 2024
- Aviation C0 contributionsEntertaining performance!!A very interesting show performed at the theatre.Very impressed with the setup of the stage and all that. Interesting storyline as well. I really enjoyed the performance!Written November 3, 2024
- MCF_Boston0 contributionsAmazing time on the mountainIt 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.Written October 30, 2024

- WanderlustBlondee0 contributionsImpressive Experience & Amazing Tour GuideOur 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!Written October 2, 2024
