This was an amazing tour hosted by our guide, Rita. It gave me a decent insight into some of the big things to see in Xi’An.



I booked the tour about two weeks ago and completed it today. Communication between the tour company and Rita with myself was excellent. Pickup was on time as described, and the bus was air conditioned.



We started in the morning with a drive to the Terracotta warriors. During the drive, Rita gave us a lot of insight and historical knowledge of the city (Xi’An). Once we arrived, Rita was very organized and timely in showing us the different areas & rooms containing the statues and historical artifices. Explanations were provided at each spot from Rita, then free time to roam and take pictures based on the size of the room/building.



Afterwards we had lunch although it seemed like a bit of a touristy place to eat. The food was decent and we were given the option to eat elsewhere if we wanted. Everyone in the group just ate there though.



Then we drove back to the city and went to the Big Goose Pagoda which was honestly nicer than the Forbidden City in Beijing. More peaceful & beautiful, but also less crowded.



Later we went to the city wall but I stayed inside due to the heat. The wall was ok, but you’re on the top and it’s a far walk to the towers so there’s not a lot to see.



Overall, I’d recommend the tour and make sure to ask for Rita! Less

Our trip to China was a very memorable experience - our teens thoroughly enjoyed the trip with a well planned itinerary . Our guides Kevin in Beijing was a kind helpful man who was with us throughout and guides carol in Xian was a thorough professional. We dint have to ask for anything , she gave us a lot of information even wrote down things in Chinese so it can help us - she had thorough knowledge and explained very well . Guide Bella in chengdu was wonderful as well very pleasing and very clear diction and she was also very helpful and sweet - could have gotten a better guide at shangai that would have made our experience wholesome but overall it was an amazing holiday -very good choice of hotels and our van was very comfortable to travel the guides were very prompt for pickup and drop everything went on so smoothly — worth the money and we came back home with a feeling that we spent some of our best times in China .

This review is about the Xi’an portion of our private China tour. Our tour guide in Xian was Tracy. We first visited the Terracotta Army site. We then stopped by a workshop and made our own clay statues. After getting back in town, we visited the Great Tang All Day Mall, which is a nice pedestrian area in traditional style. Tracy then took us to the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, which was a beautiful temple. She asked us if we want to attend the Tang Dynasty Show in the evening. We were glad we took her suggestion and went, it was a beautiful show. We didn’t like the dumplings, which were dry but this is a matter of taste. I should mention our driver Mr. Wen was always there for us, he picked us up from the theater and took us back to the hotel. Next day, we visited the city wall and the Muslim quarter, which was also very interesting area. Tracy was very helpful and patient throughout, she taught us more history of China, especially the Tang dynasty. We were very happy with our tour with Travel China Guide and Tracy. Everything was perfect and Tracy was a great guide to see Xi’an with. Less

This was the best tour that we've had so far! Lily was outstandingly organised. We started out earlier than planned in order to miss the crowds. The entire tour was well planned and well communicated to ensure that we maximised every minute of the day. From the terracotta army, to the Wild Goose Pagoda, a yummy lunch and then a great visit to the city walls. Lily gave us lots of wonderful historical information and knew the perfect spots to take photos. Lily also helped us find an evening Tang show for the following night. All in all, a great stay in Xi'an, largely due to this tour and our wonderful guide. Less
