Fun and memorable tour! - I had a good time on this tour with Cathy. She has a lot of knowledge about the warriors and she was always happy to take me and my sister pictures. This made the tour very enjoyable. Having Cathy there made the experience more memorable because I was able to understand and made it very hassle free. She was very sweet and I felt she listened to our needs. The car ride was very comfortable too and very convenient for us. I recommend this tour and I would request Cathy if you can.

Great tour to learn about Xi’an’s impressive history. - We loved this tour, during which we learned a lot about Xi’an’s history thanks to Cathy K our guide who was so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to 🙂. In addition she has been very proactive in trying that we wouldn’t suffer too much from the crowd (as we did this visit on a national holiday). The tour was well balanced between walking and resting time, the restaurant we had lunch into was simple yet really nice and we are happy we got the chance to discover it. We can only warmly recommend this tour ☺️.

Learning a lot about Xi’an’s history! - This tour is so great. Even the youngest of our 3 kids enjoyed it ! Cathy K our guide was so knowledgeable and her way of telling us about Xi’an’s history was so interesting that we all learned a lot and the day went by really fast ! In addition she was very attentive to our needs and very pro-active in finding ways then we wouldn’t suffer too much from the crowd as we did our tour on a national holiday there really many people. I really strongly recommend this option if you don’t have much time to visit Xi’an.

A fantastic private and bespoke day tour of Xian - We had a fantastic private day tour with our family of 5 (3 teenagers) and Michael with the driver Mr Wong. The tour consisted of Xian City Wall, Muslim Quarter and the Terracota Warriors , with lunch at an authentic restaurant trying the famous Biang Biang noodles. Everything was bespoke to our needs as our son has severe autism, ADHD, and all 3 kids with nut allergy. Michael made sure all the scheduling was as perfect as we could imagine it . The tour was made as comfortable as it could in the heat of summer at 35 degrees ! We even cycled a.section of the Xian wall to the kids delight. We would highly recommend Lily's tour with Michael ! Thanks for a perfect day.

Best city tour in Xi'an! Recommended - Totally recomended tour in Xi'an! My guide, Michael, was superb! Nice guy, friendly, easy talk, very good English, and great guide. He continuously shared interesting facts about every place we visit, as well as suggestions of other things to do to make my stay in Xi'an more enjoyable. Food was also great, and Michael recommended some very traditional Xi'an dishes which were very tasty. Michael even dropped me off in a very nice area that evening as per my request, after we finished the tour, and gave me some tips about things to do, which ended up being one of the best moments I had in the city. 100% recommended!

⚜️ Exploring Emmie Takes Xi’an ⚜️ - My day tour of Xi’an was pleasant thanks to my guide, Michael. It was holiday but we had an early start to the day which was helpful in beating the crowd. I loved everything Xi’an and got to see the major landmarks (Terracotta Army, city wall and Muslim quarter) and tried very delicious food all in a day’s work. As a history buff, seeing the Terracotta Army was a dream come true for me. Michael was Passionate, Personal, Present and well Prepared! He was thoughtful of my needs as a solo traveller (taking pictures, going to restroom etc.). He impressed me with his knowledge about the overall historical development of Xi’an - from ancient to modern city. I learned a lot, and had an overall good experience 🤩💯 Thanks to Michael, the driver and Lily. Best wishes, Emmie from South Africa

Lily’s is the Best! - We booked 5 days with Lily and cannot praise them enough. From Beijing to Xi’an to Chengdu, Vivian, Cathy and Cheryl were amazing! Knowledgeable, willing to accommodate our specific requests and each found us great local places to eat. Having drivers who can meet you and help you negotiate getting in and out of train stations and airports made all the difference.

Great day out - Michael was a knowledgeable and very friendly tour guide. A superb morning at terracotta museum followed by a lovely lunch at a local restaurant and an afternoon spent exploring the wall. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. Also a big shout out to the driver Mr Jie.

Amazing family trip - We had an amazing customized tour, our guide Jackie was very great. We were picked up at train station and he took us to halal restaurant for breakfast, the food was very delicious. Then we went to City wall of Xian, Big wild goose pagoda, muslim quarter to prayer there and had lunch, then continued the tour to The Terracota Warriors. Jackie had great knowledge about the history of the places we visited and abaout Xian city, he was very fun, kind and informative. He took us to local restaurant for dinner and helped us when check in at the airport at night. My father and my children really like him. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and families. I would like to contact this tour again when I visit China on next trip. Thank you Jackie & Lily for wonderful trip.
