"Rossa is detailed, caring, and advised us on avoiding scams. She also recommended good, affordable Muslim restaurants - "Rosa is detailed in her explanations; she is concerned about our well-being and advised us to avoid being cheated by local touts. She is approachable and recommended excellent Muslim restaurants with good food at reasonable prices. I would also like to highlight our driver, Mr. Chang, who is caring, humble, and helpful. He always assists the older folks in getting in and out of the vehicles. I am pleased that he always waited for us at the appointed place and even walked in to fetch us to the vehicle. His service is greatly appreciated."

Clear and great explanation of Xi'an and the different dynasties and the Terra Cotta by Rosa - Rosa was our guide. She did a fabulous job in explaining the history of Xi'an, the different dynasties and the Terra Cotta warriors to us in English. Her explanation was clear and we could understand her well. She did not rush through her explanation and the tour. She also showed us the Terra Cotta warriors with colours. We had a much better understanding of Xi'an after her explanation and really enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend Rosa to any travellers looking for a guide in Xi'an.

Great Service! Good value for money, entertaining and very educational! - We booked Rosa for a private tour to the Terracotta Warriors and would recommend it to anyone! She arrived at our hotel on time, our driver had a good smelling, very well equipped car. Immediately after boarding, she told us a lot about the history of China, Xi‘an and the Terracotta Army and accompanied it with pictures. Rosa speaks a nice understandable English. After a very entertaining ride, she ushered us well through the crowds and showed us the best spots for photos and interesting things. We recommend Rosa without restriction.

Terracotta army - Beautiful tour of the terracotta army. Pick up at the hotel and transfer to the archaeological site. Rosa is very prepared and juggles quickly in the crowd. He speaks very understandable English even to those who do not master it very well. Great lunch, day ended with a bike ride on the walls. Rosa is very kind and nice, great experience!

Would definitely recommend! - My family and I had Rosa for our tour and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. She had great knowledge of the history and showed us the sights from the best viewpoints. She went above and beyond to help us with not only the tour but also general travel tips such as booking the Xi’an shows and assistance with our mobiles. We would definitely recommend Rosa to anyone visiting Xi’an!
