We hired Bryan for one of our 2 1/2 days in Xi'an and we cannot say enough good things about our time with him. Our main interest in having a guide was for the Terracotta Warriors. Having Bryan there definitely enhanced the experience. His knowledge, passion, and English is all superb. The warriors are one of the most amazing things you will ever see, so make sure you go all out for it with a guide like Bryan!

For the rest of our days, Bryan gave us excellent advice on what to see. He also checked on us multiple times to make sure we were getting along ok. Having him around would have made our days even more enjoyable.

We would highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a guide in Xi'an. In the end, he is a friend, not just a tour guide.

My husband and I hired Bryan for the day based on the recommendations on Synotrip and also after carefully looking through his personal website.  We have no hesitation in recommending him as an excellent guide in Xi'an.  Our main objective was to hire a knowledgeable and experienced guide who was still passionate about sharing Xi'an (especially its rich history) with us.  Bryan fulfilled those expectations.  He is thorough and replies promptly to requests by email. Bryan took us to the Banpo Neolithic Museum, The Terracotta Warrior Army Museum, The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Great Mosque.  We were impressed with his enthusiasm for the Neolithic Sites as well as the details he pointed out that we would likely have missed if we had toured on our own.  At the Terracotta Warrior Museum he was patient despite the numerous pictures we took.  He explained things in detail, gave us insight into the history, the archeological findings and the again pointed out details we would have missed such as the tassels on the Bronze Chariot horses which were also made of bronze and looked like silk.  He described the methods that they utilized to make the tassel and if we asked any question which he wasn't sure of, he would not hesitate to tell us this, instead of giving us erroneous information.  The tour we had with Bryan showed a sensitivity and dedication that is ideal in a guide.  Bryan was punctual, always looked out for us and ensured we were comfortable and going at our own pace. The driver hired was a safe driver who was also very considerate.  At the end of the tour Bryan even gave us some pointers on where to eat the next night and also gave us his cell phone number to contact him in the event we had trouble during our travels in China.  He did not have to do this, and this went above and beyond what we would have expected in a guide.  You will not regret hiring Bryan.

We're from Brazil, and we had a great time in Xian. Bryan is very responsible, he really care about us. From the time we arrived until we left Xian, he and Mr Wang (the driver) look after us all the time.

Besides his huge knowledge of China's history, he is a good guy.

I highly recommend Bryan. We were kind bored seeing so many temples, and he took us to a farmer's village, where some people still live in caverns.

Sincerely,

Tico & Yumi

I had Bryan as my tour guide in a very short visit to Xi'an. Since I only had one day I really needed someone I could trust. Bryan was really helpful, his knowledge of history is quiet impressive and he'll organize a good plan for you. Moreover when I change my mind all sudden he had no problem and rearrange everything accordingly. He knows how to do his job and he is very professional at it.

His english is very good and the driver he works with, Mr. Wang, is also very friendly and careful.

I had a really good time in Xi'an both thanks to Bryan and the city itself so I would not hesitate to recommend Bryan!

Just a though, you can try to find something in chinese history and then ask Bryan about it to test him, in my case he answered correctly in every detail!

My wife and i used Bryan's services in Xian. Bryan is an enthusiastic, energetic person with a very good command of English and wide knowledge of China's history. His driver, Mr. Wang, is a carefull, serious driver (a rare thing in China), and both of them will look after you from the moment you land untill you check in for your next flight. In our experience Bryan was always on time and always helpfull. I would strongly recomend him and would be happy to use his services again. Read less

Bryan was recommended by another great guide Sophie from Beijing .

We were 4  coming to visit the Terra cotta warriors.  As we flew in late afternoon, Bryan picked us up at the airport, got us to our hotel, gave us useful info on the city of Xian.

The next morning is was ready by our appointed time of 08;00 for the drive to see the warriors..

He was extremely interesting with his information on this unique site, and the history surrounding the warrior and rulers of that time period.

After a extensive visit of the complete sites, he got us to the airport for our return flight in plenty of time and was even helpful in getting us to the right flights, the correct areas etc .

He is a very helpful ,extremely knowledgeable guide that I would recommend completely.”””

Have a Great day           roger
