Our little " Pocket Rocket "
![]() My friends and I are here to celebrate a couple of birthday's one being a big special one. Visiting Xi’an was an unforgettable experience, made truly exceptional by our incredible tour guide Crystal . From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure every moment was seamless and special. Nothing was ever too much trouble—her kindness, deep knowledge of the city’s vast history, and genuine care made us feel so welcomed and cared for, we had a great laugh with her, my friend gave her a new name, "Pocket Rocket " she was so fast and got things done. Thanks to her, we not only saw the sights but truly connected with the culture. I would % recommend her to anyone visiting Xi’an, I doubt you'd find a more dedicated or thoughtful guide. She's passionate and thoroughly enjoys her job. more
