Maryam greeted us warmly and went the extra mile to make it a great tour. The Terracotta Warriors are absolutely staggering and Maryam had some very interesting anecdotes to help us understand the whole story. The family lunch was a nice experience, including a few different dishes. Everyone was extremely calm. The city wall and pagoda visit were also nice. Highly recommend for getting in 3 of Xi’an’s most important landmarks in one straight forward tour.”
