We booked a private tour to the palace and pagoda and our tour guide Julia was great! Her knowledge was excellent (Engish/Mandarin) and we have had a great time! We highly recommend her for guided tours.

Our tour guide Owen brought us to the Muslim Quarter in Xi’an. Of particular interest was the mosque which looks very much like a prayer garden. Owen pointed out many points of interest. He brought us to the prayer hall. We could not enter but doorways are open so that you can peer in. It is one of the oldest mosques in existence. Thanks to Owen we discovered this. Also we visited the Terra-cotta soldiers. This was a great tour. Since this is a popular site, our guide, Owen took us there when others would be leaving for lunch. A great strategy! Owen explained what was happening in each of the 4 pits. Without his excellent explanation it would have been a bunch of figures in a pit. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Owen! The city wall is worth the climb. Beautiful view of the city and an opportunity to get an understanding of life in the past. Our guide, Owen, did a superb job of explaining the wall structure as well as the purpose and the different gates, etc. I highly recommend going to the city wall.

What a great experience! Who would have ever thought that you would make such a discovery when digging a well! Dodo was great about explaining everything and answering questions. And then we even got to meet the farmer who made the discovery! The icing on top of the cake was the tea service at lunch. Thanks, Dodo, for a great day.
