Best tour in Xi’an! - This is the BEST tour in Xi’an. Rosa was the absolute best! Her English is excellent and she is a great story teller. She was very knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of information about the city. She took us for lunch to the best noodle place. Such an amazing tour and we are so thankful Rosa (guide) and Mr. Fong (driver) showed us this beautiful town!

Xi’an Tour—You Have to Experience It! - The tour was extremely educational, informative, and enjoyable. I knew the Terr Cotta Warriors would be amazing, but Elith added a level of knowledge that made the tour even better! This was a top notch tour, and I highly recommend it to others!!

If you're in Xian, you NEED to go for it - It was a super cool adventure! My guide Elith was so friendly and communicative, I had the best time learning from her as much as I could and also getting invaluable thoughts on Xi'an local specs. The lunch she treated me was divine (and neither she nor I ran from the challenge of eating it like a local, one bite on the garlic, one bite on the noodles 🤭😋). It's an amazing tour with so much to take from the fascinating story of China's old capital. It just felt the best. Thank you very much for this experience, I am elated!!!!
