WOW. Thank you so much for your superb organisation. From start to finish the trip was expertly and efficiently run. The drivers were courteous and professional. The airport transfer was seamless and Simon, our English speaking guide, was waiting for us when we landed in Xian. The trip to see the Terracotta Army was unforgettable and our friendly guide who accompanied us throughout was incredibly knowledgeable.
