It was a very fantastic tour with amazing view and experience. Overall, it was very well organised with good communication with Sophia who helped to provide the itinerary and the details of the tour. All the pickups in different locations were also well arranged. Amanda who was our tour guide in Zhangye and Dunhuang is our favourite.

This was our 3rd time with CXT and again, it didn’t disappoint! Our trip this time brought together 6 siblings (ages 80-89) and families to visit their father/grandfather’s home on Yanzhou Island and other places like Zhaoqing, Guangmen, etc. Big thanks to our guide Chris and bus driver Siao Qu who were both patient and helpful.

China Xian Tour provided an impressive service right from the start of our WhatsApp inquiry with Sophia. Both the tour guide and driver were knowledgeable and sincere and made great efforts to make our trip enjoyable. We also appreciate their caring attitude, as safety is important to us, given our senior age.

I had an incredible experience on the Xi’an tour! A big thank you to Kelly for organizing everything so smoothly and to Marry for being such a knowledgeable guide. She shared fascinating historical facts that made the tour both educational and enjoyable. I also truly appreciated how our Islamic needs were thoughtfully accommodated throughout the trip.
