My husband and I did the...

My husband and I did the private tour of Xi’an with our tour guide, Wendy and we had an amazing day! We were picked up promptly from our hotel and met our guide in the hotel lobby. First we went to the terracotta warriors. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history behind the site and pointed out so many details that we would have missed if we went alone. Then we went to the wild goose pagoda which was STUNNING! Wendy took such amazing photos of us while we were there. We stopped for biang biang noodles half way through the tour and she helped us order off the menu. We also had a separate dinner show booked for the evening and they offered to drive us there. Our driver for the day surprised us with a snack that we said we liked earlier in the day. This tour provided excellent service that went above and beyond our expectations. We had a great time today learning about Xi’an

History brought to life in Xi’an

We had an excellent private tour to the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an with our guide Julia from Catherine Lu Tours. She and the driver arrived exactly at 8:00 AM, and she contacted us the night before with all the details, which gave us confidence and peace of mind from the beginning. Julia’s English is very good, and throughout the tour she explained many historical and cultural details about the Terracotta Warriors Mausoleum in a very clear and engaging way. We visited all three pits and the museum, and her knowledge really helped bring the history to life. She was also very thoughtful during the visit, helping us take pictures and guiding us to the best souvenir stores inside the museum area. One of the highlights was that she took us to meet one of the original discoverers of the Terracotta Warriors, where we had the opportunity to buy a book signed by him — a very unique experience. Overall, I highly recommend Julia if you are planning a private tour to visit the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an.

A great day out!

Cindy was our guide, she’s excellent; fluent English, very knowledgeable bringing the history to life for us and a helpful & considerate person who was a pleasure to spend our day with. Communication with the tour company was very good too, at their suggestion we made an early start & entered the Terracotta warriors as it opened, good tip. A private guided tour is really worth it at a busy site like this. We went on to the Emperors burial mound & chariot museum also well worth it, very close to the Warriors & ties the story together. We finished at the Palace & hot springs set in beautiful gardens, again nearby. Really recommend this trip & particularly Cindy as your guide.

Terracotta Warriors and more…highly recommend!

Wonderful full day! Our guide, William, was knowledgeable, communicative, and sensitive to our needs. At the end of the day we had an excellent understanding of the unification of China, the Qin Dynasty, the reason for the terracotta warriors, etc., and the importance of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and a calligraphy lesson (we had already visited the city wall), so William arranged a calligraphy lesson instead. Highly recommend! Also, the interaction with Viatour was easy and the driver was also excellent.

Wonderful Introduction to Xi'an

We had a great time. The Terracotta warriors were very crowded by the tour guide helped to make sure we saw what was important and she also made sure we understood the background for everything. The tour was much more relaxed than I thought it would be, and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted. Our guide, Rita, was great - she made use the shoppers in the group got to shop, and the sightseers in the group got to sightsee.

Unforgettable Experience with Ark – The Perfect Guide for the Terracotta Warriors!

Visiting the Terracotta Warriors is already an incredible experience, but doing it with Ark made it truly unforgettable. His passion, deep knowledge, and storytelling ability brought the entire site to life in a way I never expected. Ark guided us through the museum with perfect pacing, avoiding the crowds and taking us to the best viewing points. He explained not only the historical facts but also the human stories behind the warriors—the artistry, the symbolism, the archaeological discoveries—all delivered with warmth and clarity. Thanks to Ark, I didn’t just see the Terracotta Army—I felt connected to its history. If you’re visiting Xi’an, don’t miss the chance to take a tour with Ark. He’s more than a guide—he’s a storyteller who turns history into something personal and powerful.
