 I contacted Bryan at the last minute and indicated I wanted to get off the beaten path and see some of the countryside around Xi'an including life in an old village.  He swiftly arranged everything and I was not disappointed.  After being met exactly at the designated time at our hotel, we were taken to a village near the mountains to the south of the city.  We enjoyed walking around a bit.  A couple of the villagers invited us to see their houses and extended very unexpected hospitality to us.  Though we forgot to bring our camera, no fear, Bryan had his and took ample photos (and quite promptly after our return e-mailed them to me).  On our return we were taken to another village with a very old stone pagoda, not one commonly mentioned in the tour books, another unexpected surprise.  Both Bryan and his driver (Mr. Wang) were pleasant, prompt, reliable, honest, and very knowledgable.  I could not have asked for more.  I highly, highly recommend Bryan and will use his services again upon my return to Xi'an.  In fact, I see no reason to contact anyone else.

If you want a great guide to take you to the popular sites or off the beaten path, Bryan is your guide.  He even had some outstanding tips for Xi'an's lively nightlife.  By the way, his command of the English language is superb.

Bryan was a very knowledgable, courteous, patient and helpful tour guide. He arrived on time to collect us from the hotel as promised, his communication skills were great and he worked the tour around our own private requirements, working in with his own suggestions for the day. Bryan excelled in his services to us and I would highly recommend Bryan as a guide in Xi'An. He is very passionate about his history and it comes across.

Bryan also assisted us by referring us to a local place for a delicious dumpling banquet and wrote it in chinese for us to assist with the ordering. He was helpful in so many ways.

Well done Bryan!

June 10th 2011. We had organised a tour of Xian with Bryan about 2 months before we arrived and had constant contact over following months prior to our arrival.

When we arrived at the airport Bryan and his driver were there to meet us and as planned drove us to the hotel for the night, then next day collected us for the most awaited part of our trip the  terra-cotta museum and warriors, plus many intereasting sites and information along the way, after leaving we had a half day tour of other interesting sites around Xian and Bryans total knowlage of the city and surrounding area was fantastic...

This whole trip of ours to Xian was short but so fundamental in our journey of China, we have covered such a large area in such a short time and the tour arranged prior to leaving New Zealand with Bryan was so important that nothing could be left out... and it was 100%, Bryan totally surpassed my expectations and provided a total package from beginning to end. I highly rate Bryan and would reccomend him to any one coming to Xian China, either on an extended stay or short trip like ours. He also is able to organise longer holidays through out China, so email him I can not fault any thing on our whole trip organised with him.

Note he provides what ever you want...

Bryanbai is a very reliable and responsible guide in Xian. his communications and ground work done on your behalf is highly detailed. He listens to what you want and fits the tour around your wants. His love of his hometown of Xian is evident and he takes you to authentic scenic spots.  His knowledge of the history of Xian and China in general is impressive.  He does enjoy touring as much as you do.  You will never feel rushed or left alone; he is your personal guide the entire time.  Bryanbai is a take charge kind of guy and attends to every detail for you.  I can highly recommend Bryanbai.
