Xi'an Travel Reviews

We loved our tour of Xi’an with Crystal. She is a top-notch guide and we are so happy and grateful she was our guide. She speaks excellent English and she taught us to say phrases in Mandarin. She is so knowledgeable about the city of Xi’an and all its historic and cultural places. Crystal taught us all about the city of Xi’an, its history, and the important dynasties here. We loved seeing the Terracotta Army, it was incredible. We will always remember riding bikes on the city walls. Crystal brought us to the most delicious restaurants and we ate very delicious food! We are vegetarians and Crystal ordered for us and made sure all the dishes aligned with our dietary needs. The Dumpling Banquet was so tasty! She also bought us local fruit to taste as well as sweets and treats wherever we went. Crystal took great care of us and really taught us a lot about China. We loved our time with her. Crystal is a remarkable guide because she is friendly, warm, flexible and helpful. The best thing about her is she has a sense of humor and loves to make sure her guests are having fun. Thank you, Crystal!

We spent two days in Xi’an with China Highlights. Our guide Lin was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable about her city and its history and very helpful and kind. Her dining suggestions were excellent and enabled us to try many delicious foods. We also enjoyed her company!

Jennie was a terrific guide. Her knowledge of China is extensive and delivered with excellent English. We really liked how friendly she was and how she took such good care of us. We enjoyed the restaurants and especially liked the evening performance she recommended. We’ve traveled to 45 different countries and she is definitely one of the best guides we’ve experienced

I wish I could have stayed longer in Xi'an. My guide Crystal and my driver Lena,made sure I was well cared for. Crystal is so well informed, that she could knowledgeably answer any quirky question. She was caring, warm, and cheerful.

My family and I visited Xi'an for two days and were accompanied by Sherry, our tour guide! Even though we stayed for a very short time, Sherry made sure we visited everything important and on time. And when the person who we were going to cook dumplings with got sick, Sherry managed the schedule changes smoothly and skillfully. Beyond that, witnessing the Terracotta Soldiers was a dream come true, but Sherry's explanation and availabilty to answer questions pushed it even further! And also, not only was she a fountain of knowledge, she was very kind and open, sharing with us her day-to-day experience living in Xi'an. Finally, since my area is Asian Studies and I study Chinese, Sherry also helped me with the language and academic curiosity in an enthusiastic way. In the end, my two favourite Xi'an activities were visiting the Terracotta Soldiers and its museum, of course, and making dumplings! I highly recommend China Highlights' tour in Xi'an, especially when accompanied by Sherry.

After picking us up at the airport Jerry took us to the First Noodle Under the Sun for lunch. It was fantastic food. Jerry was a fabulous guide, providing details about the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Terra-Cotta Warriors, The Muslim Quarter, seeing a shadow puppetry show, and bringing us to a master teacher for a calligraphy lesson. The second day Jerry brought us to another excellent restaurant for lunch, which served a huge amount of traditional Chinese food. He surprised one of the guests with a small birthday celebration. He definitely goes out of his way for his guests. One of the people in our group had a HUGE problem. Jerry handled everything in a professional manner without panic. He is one top notch guide who knows the ins and outs of Xi’an. He’s extremely knowledgeable with a wonderful sense of humor. He’s very caring for each group member.

Xi’an is a fantastic city to visit, the Terra Cotta Warriors are incredible but there is more to see and do—and eat! Make sure you ask for Jenny, she is a fabulous guide, super interesting and informative and FUN! Our group ranged in age from 15-80 and she took care everything with a keen attention to detail and nuanced suggestions to make the trip extra special. The dumpling making experience was amazing and delicious and surprisingly maybe our favourite activity? Thank you thank you Jenny!

Helen was our tour guid and we very much enjoyed Xian and wished we could have spent more time as we only had a day. Our guide made sure we experienced all that we needed to see while out there even with our limited time. I would highly recommend visiting Xian and staying a few days to further explore the history.

Eine unvergessliche Zeit, mit Jenny Yang Jie, in Xi'an. Neue kulinarische Erfahrungen im Muslimviertel und kurzfristige Anpassung des Programms zu der Abendshow am Pagodenbrunnen, zeichneten diesen Besuch in Xi'an besonders aus. Jenny kennt die Geschichte Ihrer Stadt ausgezeichnet und kann dies in perfektem Deutsch ihren G?sten erz?hlen. Witzig und stets fr?hlich begleitete Sie uns durch die Stadt und die sch?nen Orte rund ums Zentrum. Mit einem lückenlosen Wissen

Had a great experience in Xi’An with Ken! He’s a very knowledgeable and professional guide, providing fascinating insights into the Terracotta Army, the ancient city wall. He tailored the tour to our interests, but also ensure we had ample time to explore and take photos without feeling rushed. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Ken is an excellent guide to Xi'an for China Highlights. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sites he took us to (Terracotta Army, wild goose pagoda, Xi'an museum, the mosque) and he achieves a good balance of being there to help you and giving you some space to explore for yourself.

Our experience in Xi'an was incredible thanks to Laura, our tour guide! From the very beginning, Laura showed great commitment, passion, and preparation. Her kindness and attention to detail made our visit even more special. We felt well taken care of throughout the entire tour, and her knowledge of the local history and culture was impressive. We truly appreciate her dedication and the care she took to make everything perfect. If you ever have the chance to be guided by Laura, we can guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience! Thank you, Laura, and keep shining as a guide!

Our tour guide was a lady with a lot of insightful historic information. Mervin, her name, was an Education major. She solved all our inquiries and doubts. She even payed for me when i forgot my wallet. Very attentive to our needs -ie I cannot stand loud noises so she always chose quiet spots in the restaurants. Last but not least she was kind and very patient. You just enjoy the travelling because everything is taken care by them!! Absolutely perfect!!

Ken our guide made this trip so memorable- he was extremely attentive to our needs and made sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. What really stood out was Ken's in-depth knowledge of Xi'an's rich history. He brought the city's ancient landmarks to life with his engaging stories and explanations- all in perfect english! We gained a deep understanding of Xi'an's significance and importance in Chinese history. Ken's passion for sharing Xi'an's history and culture was evident throughout the tour. He was always happy to answer our questions and provide additional insights including where to have good local food! Thank you, Ken for the lovely gifts and our safe driver, for a memorable and enriching experience here in Xi’an!

Amazing organise, everything was as promised! We only had a couple of hours to go out, yet we could had an authentic meal and a whole tour to Terracotta Army. Susan is lovely, our team was happy to chose this option for today.

Great tour of Xian with Jenny and China Highlights ... we were a 3 generational family ranging from 21 to 80 and jenny was very helpful , knowledgeable and accommodating...Hotel was good .. food was excellent and driver Mr Zhou was fantastic... China Highlihgts take all stress out of travelling in China and gives you time and space to enjoy the trip

My husband and I took a cruise to Hong Kong and decided to extend our trip by taking a land tour in China as well. We chose China Highlights as the company and were impressed. Our first city was Xi’an where our guide was Jenny and our driver was Mr. “Chu” (I forget the correct spelling). Jenny met us at the airport and took care of everything from there on out! We saw the famous pagoda, the terracotta soldiers the city wall and more! We happened to visit during the Chinese New Year so we were able to take in some extra special moments. Again Jenny took great care of us, making all arrangements and asking us our preferences. The hotel was beautiful and all included meals were excellent. We would highly recommend China Highlights and even if you do not get Jenny as a guide, I am sure you will have someone just as friendly and professional! Happy travels!!

We had a fabulous time in Xian with Jenny from China Highlights as our guide. Her English is very fluent and she was able to give us such detailed information about the Warriors. Her knowledge of ancient China was exceptional.

Mervyn was a great tour guide!!!!! She took us to the warriors of terracota and gave us all the proper information about the history of the place.

Our guide, Ken was very knowledgeable and very proud of his city. The Terra Cotta Warriors themselves were very impressive. I loved the tour experience with Ken. Because Ken was extremely patient and super efficient and fulfilled all our requests.

I recently returned from an unforgettable adventure tour in Xi‘an, and I'm still reeling from the experience! Our phenomenal tour guide, Ken ensured our journey was seamless, informative and delightfully entertaining. Ken provided clear, concise explanations about each historical site, sharing fascinating stories and anecdotes that brought ancient China to life. Thank you Ken.

Jenny from China Highlights took us to see the Terracotta Warriors, the Wild Goose Pagoda and to the city wall where we bicycled around. It was a great experience and we couldn't recommend her more highly.

El paseo en Xi'an con el guia Antonio fue muy bueno y siempre estuvieron atentos a todo lo que necesitaramos. Son totalmente confiables y recomendables.

As part of our first trip to China, Xi’An was our Third destination, and we were fortunate to have Mervyn as our tour guide. She contacted us 24 hours in advance, providing all the necessary details for our meeting point at the train station. Upon arrival, Mervyn was waiting for us at the station, accompanied by the driver, and the vehicle provided—a top-quality MPV—was perfect for our group of three. Both Mervyn and the driver were highly professional, always going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Mervyn was incredibly efficient in organizing our itinerary, which included visits to all important attractions like City Wall, Muslim Quarters, Terracota Warriors Museum, pagoda and much more. She even extended her assistance into the evening, providing recommendations to ensure we were well taken care of. One of the highlights was the traditional Xi’an lunch she arranged at a fantastic restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Mervyn organised “Silk Route” show which was the best we have ever experienced live. In addition to her excellent planning, Mervyn went the extra mile by brining snacks on our day of arrival so my 10 year old son can have. On our departure day, She also arranged porter services at the Xi’An train station, which made our travel experience much smoother. Mervyn’s attention to detail and professionalism made her one of the best and most efficient tour guides we’ve ever had. We highly recommend her services to anyone visiting Xi’An Thank you, Mervyn, for taking such great care of us!
