An amazing day
A truly wonderful day in Xi’an. My guide, Susan, was superb and taught me a lot about the history of the place. We started at the Terracotta Army (of course) where I benefitted from an exhibition that only opened recently. We’ve all seen pictures of course, but actually standing next to these relics and seeing the intricate details was incredible. After a tasty lunch we headed to the Wild Goose Pagoda where again, Susan’s knowledge enabled me to fully understand the history and significance. The perfect day ended with a quiet walk on top of the ancient city wall. If you haven’t yet visited Xi’an……… do it! more

Jenny in Xi'an is the best!
During my one week in China for the very first time, I spent one and a half days in Xi'an. My guide in Xi'an was Jenny, she was fantastic. Jenny made sure that hour short time in Xi'an was well organized and impactful. Jenny's detailed retellings and descriptions created visuals that helped emphasize my understanding of the history. Jenny was also very professional and accommodating. I fell in love with the earrings Jenny was wearing and she graciously made sure that I got a pair before I left Xi'an. My time in Xi'an was all the more unforgettable because of Jenny's kindness and sincerity. I highly recommend China Highlights tours and Jenny as a guide! more

Wonderful trip and wonderful guide Jenny!
While visiting Xian with China Highlights, I had the tour guide Jenny. She was a phenomenal guide for the site. She made us feel welcomed in the city. She helped us find delicious and affordable food in bustling areas that I would not have been able to do alone. She has such a good knowledge of the history, and I was able to understand and be immersed in the space truly. She was always early to pick us up and drop us off. She was extremely transparent about the time it would take to visit different places, or if certain changes needed to be made due to unforeseen circumstances. For example, we traveled during the national holiday which was super busy. This meant supper long lines and additional traffic for certain places. She explained in the beginning how it could potentially affect our trip so we could be prepared. I had one of the best trips of my life and that was because of Jenny. more
