Guest Reviews
"This tour was the perfect way to experience the real Xi’an beyond the Terracotta Warriors. The morning market visit was a highlight—I loved chatting with local vendors and trying street snacks I wouldn’t have found on my own. The Taoist temple was so peaceful and not touristy at all. The calligraphy workshop at the end was such a fun and personal touch. Highly recommend for culture lovers!"
"This tour showed us a side of Xi’an that most tourists miss. From tasting seasonal fruits at the market to trying brush calligraphy in a traditional street, every moment felt thoughtful and engaging. The temple visit offered a quiet break from the crowds, and lunch was delicious. I left feeling like I really felt the spirit of the city."
"Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable and friendly. The Bell and Drum Towers were impressive, but what really stood out were the quieter spots: the morning market and the hidden temple felt so authentic. I got to try paper cutting for the first time on Shuyuanmen Street and even took my piece home. A really well-paced and meaningful day."
