Amazing Terracotta Army and Xi’an day tour

Eduardo_S, Apr 2024

Julia was my guide for the day. And I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. She is local and very well knowledgeable of the region…and speaks English well. Not only she took me to visit the Terracotta Warriors, but also to Great Goose Pagoda and the Great Xi’an Mosque (these last two were my choices) where she thought a lot of China’s history and how Buddhism and Muslin came to China. And since I was interested in all this history, as a bonus, she took me to a live theater that tells the history of the famous Silk Road. What an amazing day! Definitely recommends her!

Learned so much

Nikola_A, Apr 2024

The tour was amazing! We learned so much about Chinese history, Terracotta Mausoleum and the Wild Goose Pagoda. Julia was an awesome guide who explained everything and had answers to all of our questions. At every point of the Terracotta Mausoleum she showed us interesting details that we would have missed if we went alone.

Great Tour with Richard, Amazing Xi'an Experience!

Margaux_S, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful day in Xi'an with Richard and our driver. They took us to The Terra-cotta Warriors, and then we chose to also visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Xi'an Mosque. It wasn't my first time visiting Xi'an and I lived in Beijing in the past, but because the sights are not super close together I highly recommend getting a guide and a driver to make the most of your time in Xi'an without having to figure out public transport, taxis, or even ticketing - Richard and our driver helped with all of that. Richard was really friendly and knowledgeable, and at lunch brought us to a great restaurant for biangbiang noodles as well as other local dishes of our choice. All in all it was a great day, we saw lots and would have never been able to see this much in one day without them!

100% would recommend this tour

kyer_g, Dec 2023

The great China history lesson that our guide, Ding provided was very thorough and detailed. The other tours like walled city and Muslim street was also very good. Ding did a great job in explaining and also 10/10 for photography skills! Best guide we could ask for. I would highly recommend this tour. There was no issue with the guide reaching out to us and getting us on our way to see Terra cotta.

Great Xian Tour

TiongBeng_C, Dec 2023

We had a wonderful day touring the Terra Cotta Army , the city walls and the Bell and Drum towers. Especially so with Mr Ting as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable giving us a good summary of the existence of the Terra Cora warriors and the towers. He brought us to a good restaurant for a taste of the local food and subsequently to the Muslim quarters to enjoy the sight and sound of that area. All in all we had a great time. We highly recommend this tour especially with Mr Ting as our tour guide

wonderful 1day tour of Xian

yoshifumi_o, Oct 2023

Our guide, Cindy, provided concise and easy-to-understand explanations from her in-depth knowledge of a wide range of Chinese history and culture. She is reasonably reliable and informative, especially with regard to Shaanxi Province and Xi'an, as well as the countless visits to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Her timetabling was flexible and she was able to consult with us to make the right decision for our situation.

Cindy is a wonderful tour guild😁

KIANTECK_O, Sep 2023

Cindy is our tour guild…She is knowledgeable and very detail in explaining the history and very patient all the times. She also bring us to a nice local noodle restaurant. We decide to watch a show and without hesitate she brought us the ticket and waited us patiently. We are glad to have her as our tour guild and we definitely recommend her to others.

Best tour and guide!

Timo_H, Sep 2023

Wonderful tour with Nancy! She gave us all the time we wanted at the Terra-cotta Warriors and explained Xi’an history and culture very well. Lunch was incredibly tasty! And she even helped us with the Programm after the tour - accompanying us to a professional massage center incl. translation and recommendations. Totally recommendable!

Ask for Rosa

Agnieszka_S, Jun 2023

What a day! I had the please of having Rosa as my guide during the tour and she was just wonderful! Having a knowledgeable tour guide makes such a difference, navigating through the crowds of Terracotta Warriors is not an easy feat, also understanding the history makes all the difference. Would highly recommend this tour and ask for Rosa!
