Xi’an tour was excellent!
![]() 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!! more

Terracotta warriors with Jenny
![]() 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. more
