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!!!!

Wow. Fabulous. - Wow! Really looked after by our guide Rosa and the driver. They were both fabulous, she was really informative and friendly. We had great fun. Vehicle was super luxury and the places they took us to was unreal. She even arranged for us to go and see the Silk Road show after. 5 stars all the way for the trip. And 6 stars for Rosa !!!

Rosa in Xi’an - Rosa is an outstanding guide. The Terracotta tour is great but crowded. Rosa knew all the important details and was brilliant amongst the crowds in knowing where to go for the best photos. For a private tour, which was for a couple, this was perfect. Recommend.

Perfect Day Tour in Xi’an – Ask for Rosa! - We had an incredible experience on the Xi’an Top 3 Highlights All-Inclusive Private Day Tour, and that was largely thanks to our amazing guide, Rosa.
From the start, Rosa was absolutely perfect – friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. She knew exactly how to avoid the long lines at the Terracotta Warriors Museum, using clever tricks that gave us more time to actually enjoy the exhibits instead of waiting in queues. Thanks to her, we got to see the most beautiful and important parts of the site without the stress.
Rosa also gave us clear, well-structured explanations about Chinese history and everything we were seeing. It made the experience so much more meaningful and interesting.
We even had enough time left to enjoy a bike ride on the ancient city wall and visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda – both great additions to an already packed day.
Rosa speaks fluent English, and we honestly can’t imagine a better guide for exploring Xi’an. If you’re planning to visit the highlights of the city, make sure to ask for her – you won’t regret it!
