Amazing tour ! - Wendy was amazing ! Although we booked her tour on the 3rd day of our Xian trip , she helped us with our own itineraries the first 2 days , whatsapping tips like booking taxis and tickets to attractions . Punctual , engaging , professional and polite , she took care of all the tiny details to the letter like our dietary restrictions being Muslims . We did the Terracotta tour and included Huaqing Palace & Great Wild Goose Pagoda . The immersive Reborn Army show suggested by Wendy was jaw-dropping and we were so happy we went for it . She also arranged The Silk Road show on our non-tour day and boy , were we glad we didn’t miss it ! A real audiovisual extravaganza . This is our second trip to China and fell in love with her all over again !

Beautiful day - We visited the Terracotta warriors, the walls, the pagoda and the Temple...the visit was exhaustive and we were able to see everything. Too bad we were not able to take the bikes because the children's ones were not available. We ate at a delicious restaurant recommended by Wendy and visited a street food market to scream!

Best experience in Xian with our amazing tour guide Wendy! - We had a truly wonderful experience in Xi’an, and it was all thanks to our amazing tour guide. Wendy is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history and cultural insight with us — we learned a lot from her. Her English is excellent, which made communication effortless, and she was not only professional but also warm, friendly, and a joy to be around. My kids absolutely adored her, and she made the whole experience engaging and enjoyable for the whole family. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Without a doubt, she’s the best guide we’ve ever had. I would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Xi’an!

Outstanding Tour of Xi'An - Do yourself a favor and ask for Wendy. She was simply amazing. We travel frequently and rarely come across such a talented professional as her. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. As a bonus for us westerners, her English was excellent. Thank you so much!

Fascinating experience! - The Terracotta Warriors were well worth a visit and we were so impressed. Our wonderful guide, Cynthia was very knowledgeable about the history of Qin Shi Huang and his dynasty. She was easy to understand and willing to answer any questions. The pits were extremely crowded but she guided us through calmly and with ease so we felt we were in good hands following her directions. It was fascinating to see the different faces of each warrior and the detail of each different outfit - no one figure is the same. It is amazing that we could see something that was constructed over 2000 years ago, on such a massive scale, up close. Would highly recommend Cynthia as a tour guide to anyone who comes to Xi’an. We also chatted about the history of Xi’an as the ancient capital of China and gained an insight into life in modern China - very interesting to hear from a local. We were also interested in learning more about the Silk Road so the agency recommended the Silk Road Legends of the Camel Bell show. We were able to catch the 1pm show and it was really entertaining for the whole family. Everything worked very smoothly and we were able to catch our 4pm train from Xi’an North in good time. A big thank you as well to our driver for getting us everywhere on time and to the agency for planning a suitable itinerary just the day before, getting us great tickets to the show. We had a short but perfect time in Xi’an!

Fantastic experience with a great guide! Totally worth it! - Wendy is a fantastic and very efficient guide! We were initially thinking about going to the Terracotta warriors/Emperor Qin Mausoleum independently and just take a Didi because we've read some reviews that this is doable. However, we decided to get a proper tour guide because this is has been a dream of ours to finally see the warriors and so we wanted to get the best experience possible. We are so very glad that we decided to book this private tour with her. She had the most efficient strategy for saving us time at the queues and brought us to the right areas to get the best views. She shared a ton of information about the history of the site and of the Qin, Hang, Tang and other dynasties of China that helped us thoroughly appreciate what we were seeing. Apart from the Terracotta warriors pits we highly recommend also going to the Qin Emperors tomb area where the 2 chariots, the acrobats pit and the sacrificial horses pit, as well as the actual burial mound of the Emperor. Since it's a private full day tour we could decide on the day itself what other Xi'an attractions to visit - we went to Huaqing Winter Palace and the Royal hot springs which is also historically significant as Chiang Kai-Shek stayed at the Palace grounds and was subsequently arrested there. Beautiful place and worth the trip. We had a spectacular time and wholeheartedly recommend this tour with Wendy and her team!
