A wonderful Xi’an visit
Mervyn our guide was waiting for us weary travelers. She was very patient and understanding and modified the itinerary to allow us to get some sleep. Even though it was a very busy time because China was on holiday with large crowds, she still was able to find us excellent views of the terra-cotta Warriors. Mervyn went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to wait too long or have the seniors walk too far.Thanks to Mervyn who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. more

Short visit but lovely and action packed
Mervyn was waiting for us weary and exhausted travelers with kindness and empathy. Despite this, Mervyn got us in to see the terracotta warriors with decent views and pix. Mervyn learned that we loved dumplings and tooks us to one of the oldest dumpling establishments in the neighborhood! So cool. And she found out it was my birthday and gave me a cake with an ornament of my Chinese zodiac! She was so thoughtful and kind. It was a fantastic visit to Xi’an. more

Beautiful Xi’an
Our tour guide Jenny made the visit really memorable. Her style fitted us perfectly, she is very knowledgeable, energetic, practical and really nice and funny. Jenny knew the ways through the crowds at Terracotta warriors site, so it was not only interesting but also adventurous for our teenage daughters- they also liked a lot the experience of creating their own warrior from the clay! Jenny suggested a an absolutely beautiful show to see in the night as well as walk throughout the modern, nicely illuminated and lively part of Xi’an, she also adapted the tour to our interest to see the grand mosque, much appreciated. more
