Dear Chang,

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

Well noted that your plan to visit to Xian and Luoyang in April of 2015.

At first, please kindly be advised that if you take taxi from Xian airport to Skytel Hotel Xian, it will cost around 100-150 per taxi per way. If you do not book transfer with travel agency, you could try the airport shuttle bus from airport to the downtown, such as Bell & Drum Tower Square. It is only walking distance from the square to Skytel Hotel.

Regarding the tour, please kindly be advised that we do not have group tour which covers Xian and Luoyang together, but have Xian group join-in day tours. It is possible to take a tour on April 12, 2015. In Luoyang and Zhengzhou, I suggest you rent a car with driver service if you could speak Chinese.

The itinerary can be suggested as below,
Day01 April 11 Arrival Xian: Travel from airport to hotel on your own
Day02 April 12 Join in a group day tour in Xian
Day03 April 13 Join in a group day tour in Xian
Day04 April 14 Xian-Luoyang morning high speed train, meet with the local driver, visit to Longmen Grottoes, White Horse Temple, Museum, overnight in Luoyang

Hope the above is clear and helpful.
