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

Memorable Xi’an
![]() Susan of China Highlights was a terrific guide. She knew the best entrance for seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors, helped us get Hanfu costumes at reasonable cost and gamely took photos for us, secured tickets to a wonderful Camel Legend show about the Silk Road, took us to an interesting heritage museum to learn about the Tang Dynasty, and as a special treat, introduced us to local residents and their activities. At her suggestion, we also went to the right part of town at night to enjoy the old city wall lighted up. more

Amazing Experience in Xi’an
![]() As part of our China Highlights Tour my wife and I spent 2 nights and one full day in Xi’an. What a day it was! Guide Jenny and a driver picked us up early at our hotel and during the hour drive out to see the Terra Cotta Warriors Jenny explained the history of Xi’an and the region. She is highly knowledgeable and speaks English perfectly clear. Once there she gave us a thorough tour. We continued discussion at lunch before going to see a show, then to a tour of the Xi’an City Wall and finished the day with snacks at the Muslim Quarter. Jenny never lost energy and gave us more than our money’s worth. Very highly recommended! more
