Xi’an Tour with Jerry – Fun and Hassle-Free
Jerry made our Xi’an trip so enjoyable with his bubbly personality and great rapport with our twins. He recommended an excellent show about the Silk Road’s history and showed great patience with our elderly family members, ensuring they were comfortable at all times. We loved the local snacks he brought for us to try and appreciated the many great photos he took. From Terracotta tour to assisting us at airport check-in, Jerry ensured everything went smoothly, including the handoff to our next guide. A fantastic guide who made my favorite terracotta tour an informative and fun one! more

Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests and schedule.
You will start the tour with an early flight from Beijing Capital International Airport to Xi'an. Upon arrival, meet your tour guide and begin your sightseeing with the most essential highlights of Xi'an.
