<p>I am late posting this review we had a group of 15 children on a school trip and this tour worked out perfectly for us the added bonus was being in a position to keep the children occupied and entertained and our guide certainly helped with that. thank you from all the teachers.</p>

The smaller pagoda was better - less people. The wall was like a divide between old and new china. Fascinating tour
- Jim Garner · US2021-05-12Traveler review
My wife and I took this tour and I have to say I was really impressed. Our guide knew each aspect of the tour very well and answered all of my questions. I am not easily impressed, but this tour did it for me.

I do not see how it would be possible to give this tour a bad review. Everywhere we went was an amazing experience. Thank you to our guide and driver, we will never forget you.

We had saved for a long time to take this trip of a lifetime to China. I have always wanted to travel here and I am stunned by the beauty of this country. We booked this tour online before we traveled and decided on this on because it was a private tour. When you are in a new country you can feel a little out of your comfort zone; this is why we made the right choice booking this tour. You get to see the Terracotta Warriors (our highlight) but you also go many exciting places over the two days. Thank you for looking after us and I will never forget my trip to China.

Originally we only interested in going to see the Terracotta Warriors, but decided to take this two day tour instead. Cannot complain...it was EXCELLENT!
- Lloyd K · NZ2019-07-21Traveler review
We packed so much in on this tour and it was fantastic. The warriors was the highlight, but going to the wall and seeing the shops at Muslim street was amazing. We had our own guide for two days and were picked up from our hotel on time. I highly recommend this tour, it is so different from any other tours I have taken.
- Sue and Ross · US2019-06-28Traveler review
We had an excellent tour guide and driver. I went to Xi'an with my husband and we decided by choosing a private tour we would get a lot more from the experience. It really is worth it to have a guide show you these fantastic places.

I have never written a review before, but our guide was such a nice person I had to voice how good he was. He took us to the Xian and made our drives there a fun experience. Xian has always been on my wish list and there were so many beautiful places to see. When you go out on the. I highly recommend this tour.
