Visited the Terracotta Warriors and love it even though we had to push & shove to get a good photo taken. - Visited the Terracotta Warriors and the placed is very crowded with groups of tourists and you have to push and shove to get to the front to get a good photos.
The best place was Muslim Street where we spent the whole evening into the night to all the activities that the buzz of the place with food stalls and smell of the kebabs and the shouting of the restaurant owners trying to get people into their place.Girls walking up and down the street in their colourful costume and long queues of people lining up to taste the Muslim lamb mince filo patty burger.The night came alive with lights from the Bell & Drum Tower with lots of noise & laughter and the air floating with the smell of the kebabs and the street getting crowded with people pouring into Muslim st late into the night.Best adventure we both ever had in Xi’an .Will be back again.

Brilliant foodie experience - This was such a great tour! Our guide Elith was funny, knowledgeable and really down to earth so it was easy to get along with her and relax on this food tour. Elith knew all the best spots and we really felt like locals on this tour, visiting amazing food spots that we never would've known about. The food was of course delicious and Elith went above and beyond when we asked about dessert options hahaha! I'd definitely recommend this to any foodies visiting Xi'an!

Xi An Culinary Walk - See to it that you have an empty stomach when doing this tour as you will be tasting a huge variety of food as you go. We actually ended up doing more walking than food tasting(our choice) as we couldn’t fit anymore food. The tour is very well run and our guide Elith spoke very clear and good English which made the evening more educational and social.

Fantastic tour with Rosa in Xi’an! - Our family had such a great time exploring the Muslim Quarter with our guide, Rosa. She was super friendly, flexible, and really tailored the tour to what we wanted to do. We got to try all the delicious local foods Xi’an is famous for. Everything was so tasty!
Rosa made it all really easy and fun, she helped us find the best local spots, shared interesting stories about the area, and adjusted the tour as we went so we could try the things we were most curious about. You can tell she really loves what she does and wants you to have the best experience possible.
If you’re visiting Xi’an, definitely ask for Rosa. She’s awesome and will make sure you have an amazing day!

Extremely knowledgeable English speaking guide..highly recommend! - Rosa was an amazing guide she waited for us even though we got lost in the heavy rain. She came to find us and had a wet weather itinerary, which was delicious! We had 11 types of food made locally and a walk round one of the food streets. An unexpected highlight was that she was also extremely knowledgeable about the Terracotta Army and Chinese history. She also does tours for the Terracotta museam. Highly recommend as her English was very good!
