Our tour guide Kathy was the best guide I have had on a trip anywhere. She met us at our hotel with a private van and driver promptly at 8am. We visited the Terracotta Warriors, had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, viewed the city wall, the bell and drum towers, the Muslim Quarter, and Big Wild Goose Pagoda. At every stop we made Kathy gave us accurate and interesting facts about the site. Her knowledge of the history of Xi'an and all of the sites we visited was extensive. She could give you as much or as little about the place as you wanted to hear. With her as our guide, we went to the best spots to view various sites. She led us to vantage points instead of just pointing us at a door and giving us a time to meet up. It was truly a guided private tour. Having been on tours in China before, I must say that Kathy is the most professional guide I have ever had, and she made the experience extremely enjoyable. She went at our pace, which was important because my wife and I were traveling with my parents on this trip, both of who are in their 70's.We went to Xi'an during the fasting month of Ramadhan and celebrated Eid at Xi'an.

We went to Xi'an during the fasting month of Ramadhan and celebrated Eid at Xi'an. Kathy was very helpful and made necessary arrangements for us to find the best food vendors in the Muslim Street and showed us the location of mosques we could visit. Kathy is efficient, friendly and very accommodating. She connected us with Lisa in Luoyang where we visited the Longmen Grottoes and the Shaolin Temple. Lisa was also an excellent tour guide who went out of her way to assist us and made the trip very memorable. Overall, the trip to Xi'an and Luoyang was great and we extremely enjoyed the visits and more importantly the delicious halal food in Xi'an and Luoyang.We have Kathy set up our 2 days tour of Xian, besides arranging for pick up from the airport and going to the airport at departure, for our family of 6. 5 adults and 1 teenager. 4 of us have been in Xian before.

this is our first trip in China and I was travelling together with my old parents. kathy is a super host and not your ordinary tour guide. she has a great knowledge on xi'an history and explained to us about the Chinese culture in detail. all of us including myself walked very slowly but she patiently waited and walked together with us and even hold my mother's hands. though my parents don't speak English or understand her, but they really like the way that she took care of us, explaining about the food and attended to our request. highly recommend her for whoever wants to visit xi'an anytime soonFrom the word go at Xian train station bubbly Kathy breezed us thru 4 days of enchanting adventure of food, culture, history, palace scandals and concubine intriques to usurp power and glory.

From the word go at Xian train station bubbly Kathy breezed us thru 4 days of enchanting adventure of food, culture, history, palace scandals and concubine intriques to usurp power and glory. Being a Xian native her knowledge was intimate and comprehensive and listening to her narration in English was following a historical novel peppered with courtly grandeur, political skull duggery, bedroom intrigues and mammoth monuments for the afterlife. We, 3 elderly couples from Singapore, were unanimously impressed by Kathy's eloquence and care for our personal needs for 5 relaxing and most enjoyable days. Only Kathy's energy, personal care and knowledge could deliver such indelible memories of 2500 years history and myths of China's rich and grandious past. Our personal gratitude to a new friend who vowed to visit Singapore to taste our very own Emperor, of fruits, DURIAN. The taste of which can secure idelible memories too.
