We did a 3-day tour to Xi’an from Shanghai and honestly, it was way beyond our expectations. Everything was so well arranged from the start. The company was super easy to work with—fast replies, really flexible when we had last-minute changes, and they kept checking in to make sure everything was going well.
Our guide was amazing—her English was clear and natural, and she knew so much about the history behind every place we visited. At the Terracotta Warriors, she gave us all the background stories and little details that made it even more impressive. At Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Ancient City Wall, she helped us understand the cultural side of things, not just sightseeing. And when we hiked up Mount Huashan—wow. She was so supportive and made sure we were safe and comfortable the whole way.
The driver was great too. The car was clean, comfy, and didn’t smell like anything weird (which I really appreciated). Plus, his driving was super steady—even on those winding mountain roads near Huashan.
The itinerary was packed but never felt rushed. We hit all the big highlights in just three days without wasting any time, which was perfect since we only had a short break. Highly recommend this trip if you want a no-stress, well-balanced tour with both adventure and history.
