Repeat visit to Xian - Excellent!
![]() This time Jenny was my guide and she is a wealth of knowledge and very accommodating in regards to making sure my visit exceeded expectations. One thing I did really appreciate was her suggesting the best days and times to visit the sights to minimize the crowds as August is very busy with Chinese tourists heading to the same sights as was in my schedule. Everything went smoothly and while intense was never overwhelming. I also loved her choices for food and showing me places where the cuisine was unique to this province. more

X'ian an extraordinary experience with a great guide and driver
![]() Xian is an extraordinary city, and Crystal was just as extraordinary. From the moment we arrived at the airport, both she and the driver proved to be reliable, helpful, and incredibly kind. We visited the Terracotta Museum, following her advice to leave early in the morning. This gave us the opportunity to see this extraordinary discovery up close with fewer people. The guide was always eager to explain something to us, whether it was about the language, history, or traditions. She's a person with a golden heart, very knowledgeable, and passionate about her work. Amidst so much history, there were plenty of opportunities for calligraphy and cooking classes. Not to forget the evening at the theatre organised by Crystal, who even took the time to buy our tickets and wait for us at the theatre, even though it was already evening.The driver was truly top-notch and incredibly kind. What can I say, an unforgettable experience. more

Xi'an trough Crystals eyes
![]() We had the honor to explore the city together with Crystal and her driver. An amazing and heartwarming couple, always with a smile on their faces and ready to help out. Extremely knowledgeable and always with an explanation ready for us. The tour to the terracotta worriers was an unforgettable experience also thanks to our guides advice and explanations. We had the opportunity to get to know the city not only throughout museums but also trough the daily life. Been extremely happy and will certainly come back for more exploring. more

Suggested Itinerary
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
Tour Duration: 7 hours
In the morning, your private English-speaking guide will collect you from your hotel. The starting time is flexible for you to decide. Your guide will call you at the hotel one day in advance or leave a message to double-check the collection time with you.
Your guide and driver will transfer you directly to Lantau Island. Drive along Tsing Ma Bridge as you enjoy good views along the way to Lantau Island.
Visit Po Lin Monastery, one of Hong Kong's principal centers of Buddhism. It boasts the world's largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha statue on the mountain peak.
Take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to have a dramatic view of the Big Buddha (one-way ticket is included).
Visit Ngong Ping Market, and enjoy a vegetarian lunch (at your own expense) at the monastery, which is famous for providing high quality Buddhist vegetarian cuisine in Hong Kong.
Continue to Tai O Fishing Village, where the traditional life on water is well-preserved. It's a little village with many houses built on stilts over the water. People get to their houses by walkways or by boats, so it's sometimes called the 'Venice' of Hong Kong, offering a glimpse into Hong Kong's past and provide a striking contrast with the modern city.
Then your guide and driver will send you back to your hotel.
