Guided Tour of Xian - This was really a bonding trip for my 13Y son and I to spend time together. As it was his first trip to China snd Xian so I wanted to ensure I could rely on someone local who knew the history and could essentially help make our trip seemless and fuss free. We arranged a two day trip with a driver and Wendy as our tour guide. She arranged one day for the terracotta warriors, terracotta re-enactment play and a city tour with bikes around the city wall. Second day was a round trip visit of Hua Shan. Wendy was recommended through friends and she was absolutely reliable, knowledgeable and took care of every little matter. You are in good hands as she will usually anticipate your needs, she will work at our pace and will make great suggestions. She is super enthusiastic when it comes to talking about travels and she is an excellent guide. She also was super attentive to my son and engaged with him in mandarin as we did the 4hr trek around Hua Shan. I would recommend Wendy without reservation to my friends.

Fantastic Experience in Xi’an with Our Tour Guide Wendy! - We had an unforgettable trip to Xi’an, and much of that is thanks to our amazing tour guide, Wendy. From the moment we met her, Wendy impressed us with her deep knowledge, clear communication, and genuine passion for sharing the rich history and culture of this ancient city. Wendy was incredibly organized and attentive to our family’s needs, including traveling with young children. She skillfully balanced historical insights with fun anctivities and made every site—from the Terracotta Army to the Museum—come alive for all of us. She also gave great recommendations for local food (we especially loved the 𰻝𰻝面,肉夹馍and 荔枝冰粉!) and even helped us understand subtle cultural details that enriched our experience. What really stood out was her warmth, patience, and flexibility. She never rushed us, answered all our questions thoughtfully, and was always ready with a smile. Whether it was helping us avoid crowds, finding the authentic restaurant, or suggesting family-friendly evening activities, Wendy made us feel completely taken care of. If you’re planning a trip to Xi’an, I highly recommend asking for Wendy. She’s not just a guide—she’s like a local friend who truly cares that you have the best experience possible. Thank you, Wendy, for making our time in Xi’an so memorable!

Amazing Experience with Wendy! - I have always been intrigued by the Terracotta Warriors and was super excited to go on this customized tour. Wendy was our tour guide and she did a phenomenal job throughout the whole day. My family and I were picked up promptly from our hotel and Wendy explained the day to us and gave us suggestions for the additional sightseeing options. We started by visiting the City Wall, then the Terracotta Warriors (which was amazing). Wendy was so kind and knowledgeable and explained all the history in a way that all of us kids and adults enjoyed. Afterwards, Wendy took us to eat lunch at a restaurant that she recommends, the food was delicious and even my picky eaters enjoyed it :) We followed this by watching a wonderful and immersive show called the Silk Road which is a must do in my opinion. Wendy was amazing at getting us last minute tickets and finding great seats. We could have done the winter palace and Muslim quarter but we have been doing a lot of touring beforehand and wanted to take it easy for the evening. I highly recommend doing this tour and having Wendy as your tour guide, you won’t be disappointed!

Great way to see the Terracotta Soldiers and city of Xi'An in a Private Tour - We had a wonderful day on this private tour. Wendy was an amazing tour guide. We leaned so much about the history of Xi'An. The Terracotta Soldiers portion of the tour we enjoyed thoroughly. The day was very customized to what we wanted to see and do. I highly recommend this tour!

A day well spent! - We had a great day visiting the terracotta warriors, the show about the 2 brothers, the goose Pagoda and the muslim quarter. Our guide Wendy had a lot of knowledge about everything, and spoke English very well. She even knew where to stand/sit in the show so we got premium seats in every room :)

A Quick Visit to Xi’an - The guide and driver were wonderful. The guide was knowledgeable of the subject and history of the area. Our local lunch experience enhanced the experience. The mediator however, attempted to ruin the experience by attempting to change the transportation agreement.
