Jerry was an outstanding guide for the beautiful city and state.
![]() Jerry was an outstanding guide in Xi'an. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the city and the culture, friendly and suggested a lot of extra shows and other activities that we enjoyed tremendously. He was always punctual and available and gave us his contact information if we had any concerns or issues during evening hours. He also provided us with much appreciated guidance in regards to restaurants to eat dinners and other evening activities which we could do. His suggestions in regards to dinners and our independent evening activities were superb and budget friendly. He was exceptionally thoughtful, funny, entertaining, and we became fast friends. We were very comfortable with Jerry and discussed our families, upbringings, and differences in culture. We invited Jerry to visit us in America which would be a great honor for us to host him and his family. We strongly recommend Jerry as a guide to anybody who would like to know more about Chinese culture in Xi'an. more
