Our trip to Xi'an was made more enjoyable as we had a great guide in the person of Jackie. As one conversant with the history and culture of Xi’an, he was able to offer comprehensive explanations of the sites and the city. Moreover, his careful selection of dishes at lunch ensured that we had a good sampling of Xi'an cuisine. He went out of his way to secure for us seats at the Tang Dynasty show at last minute’s notice which was a real treat! He also brought us for a walk through the Scholar’s Quarters so that we could have a feel of the Chinese art and culture even though this was not part of the itinerary. For anyone going to Xi’an, I would definitely use his services.It has been my dream to visit the Terracotta warriors in Xi'an and hence, when I got the opportunity, I was determined to go with an excellent guide to see them.

It has been my dream to visit the Terracotta warriors in Xi'an and hence, when I got the opportunity, I was determined to go with an excellent guide to see them. Michael came very highly recommended from a friend and he was really good! He had a lot of knowledge of and passion for the history of China and put everything into context to help us understand why the terracotta warriors were such a stunning achievement. While the cave dwelling visit was ok (although tasting fresh persimmon fruit was great!), the Hangliyang museum was also very interesting to give you an idea of the opulence of Chinese emperors back in the day. He also took us to a truly excellent place for lunch where we tried metre long biang biang noodles. Overall highly recommend this tour if you want a knowledgeable guide and are a true history buff!Our guide Wendy spent a ton of time explaining everything about the tomb and it's importance and what exactly we were seeing. Really the best way to spend the time we had there.
