Great service from start to finish! Booked directly and was dealing with Sheron, from the very beginning she was fantastic and able to tailor the tour to the certain cites that we wanted to see. From the time of booking and closer to the time of the trip, she had provided us with a WhatsApp and WeChat contact number so we could ask any questions during that time period - even payment to them was nice and easy. Once on the trip, our guide Summer was amazing, she was able to tell us all of the stories and history of Xi’an and even slowed some parts of the tour time to accommodate my elderly parents. Because we were on a small tour of just the 4 of us, they really made it a personable experience. All admission fees were included in the package as well as the driver we had, who once again, was very lovely and recommended good spots to eat out close to our hotel!

Great China Tour with Xi'an Tours We did a 15 days private tour with Xi'an Tours and it was perfectly organized according to our wishes. We could reach Sophia at any given moment for any kind of problems: We were informed during the tour by Hainan Airways that they cancelled our flight back home offering us a flight three days later. We went to the airport to get a Hainan Airlines flight earlier without additional costs. The lady at Hainan's desk refused and wanted us to pay 350$ per person for an earlier flight. In case of staying three days longer, the lady refused to pay for hotel and boarding. She also declined that we could talk directly with a manager.
Thanks to a tour guide of Xi'an Tours who contacted a manager of Hainan Airlines by phone, we could get an earlier flight without additional payment.
The tour guides were generally well informed, very friendly and helpful. Our trip included Beijing, Xi'an, Zhiaojiajie, Tianmen mountain. Chongqing, Guilin, Yaoshang and Shanghai. The trip was reasonably priced, extremely well managed by Sophia, the hotels were well selected, same for the sites we were visiting. So we can wholeheartedly recommend this agency: not as big as the top three, but probably at least at the same level and a bit cheaper..

Exceptional Xi'an We had an absolutely incredible experience on Maggie’s tour of Xi'an — truly one of the highlights of our entire trip to China!
Maggie was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Xi’an. Her storytelling brought everything to life, especially at the Terracotta Warriors — she didn’t just explain what we were seeing, she helped us understand the significance behind it all in a way that really stuck with us.
She was also incredibly attentive and organized, making the entire day feel seamless and stress-free. From timing to transportation to little personal touches, everything was handled perfectly. We never felt rushed, and she made sure we had time to take it all in, ask questions, and enjoy the experience.
What really stood out was how personable she was — it felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a very knowledgeable friend. She even gave us great local tips and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day.
If you’re visiting Xi’an, I cannot recommend Maggie enough. This tour exceeded all expectations and left us with unforgettable memories!
