Great day out - Roger was a great guide, very knowledgeable about all things Xi’an and where to get the best photos. Lunch was nice - buffet style with options for vegetarians. The mini-bus was cool and a smooth ride. Water was provided as needed which was good because it was hot. The day is full on but with a nice break for lunch.
