An unforgettable two days in Xi’an - We just finished a two-day tour of Xi’an with Becky as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Becky was absolutely fantastic: warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her understanding of Chinese history is truly impressive, and she brought each site to life with context, stories, and passion. She was also a joy to spend time with. Thoughtful and kind, she was always looking out for us. She knew all the best photo spots and took many photos of the two of us that turned out really well. On top of that, she went out of her way to help us book train tickets when we were having trouble with our own reservation, something she absolutely didn’t have to do. We also want to give a shoutout to our courteous and punctual driver, who made every ride smooth and comfortable. Becky is one of the best guides we’ve ever had on a private tour, and made the whole experience memorable. We leave Xi’an feeling lucky to have had her as our guide. An unforgettable two days!

A great introduction to Xi’An! - I booked this tour in May 2025 where my tour guide was Agnes. I had a fantastic experience with Agnes! She is extremely knowledgeable about Xi’An’s history. At each part of the tour, Agnes provided a lot historical context on what I was observing. She maintained a careful balance between explaining and giving me time to explore the sites. I especially enjoyed her explanations of the different Chinese dynasties and what defined their dynasty. Agnes also explained local Xi’An day to day life including local food specialties, and different areas of the city. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in Xi’An’s history.

Amazing two day experience in Xi’an! - We really enjoyed our tour with Agnes and Mr.Guo! Day 1 we attended Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors (It was amazing, spent nearly 4 hours, warning it’s a busy place), Xi’an Banpo Museum (very interesting excavation site, not busy at all) and Muslim Quarter - nice exposure to different aspect of Xi’an cultural history. Day 2 we attended Xi’an city wall, Tomb of Emperor Jingdi and Xi’an Museum- we enjoyed all the locations, they weren’t busy and we could take our time to explore! Our guide Agnes was super nice, very friendly, well informed and answered all our questions with a warm smile! We recommend this tour if you want to have a deeper experience of Xi’an other than seeing the Terracotta Warriors as we learned a lot and it has rich history!

Xi’an two day tour - We just finished our two day custom tour with Catherine and Agnes with driver Shi. We went to Terracotta Warriors and did the Big Goose Pagoda in the afternoon, stopping for a lunch at a local noodle restaurant and seeing the Terracotta Show, which was a full production and really surprised us. The second day we rode bikes in the city wall for an hour and then saw the Muslim street, drum tower and bell tower. The final stop was the Hanyangling tomb, which is also a must see for Xi’an. The tour was very flexible as we added the bikes with no problem. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful visit in Xi’an! - We had a 2 day tour with Rosa. We have travelled around the world and done many tours, and she was one of our best guides. She was patient, and explained the history of China/Xi’an city very well. Our lunches felt like we were on a food tour of xian! No touristy places, all places where locals eat. The food was amazing. She helped us arrange our two days so that we could maximize our time. I would highly recommend Rosa as a tour guide, especially if you have a limited time in Xi’an and want to be able to learn about the history from the Neolithic period, to the terracotta warriors and Silk Road, as well as experience the many different type of cuisines that Xi’an has to offer.
