What are people saying about Xian

Carly_Y, Oct 2026

Andy was a phenomenal...

Andy was a phenomenal tour guide! He gave an in depth tour about the history of Xi'an and the each exhibit of the Terracotta warriors. It was easy to understand and follow, and he was able to answer many questions from the tour group. We learned a lot and also had time to look at the exhibits on our own. He and his family also very graciously hosted us for lunch. This was delicious and very special. Highly recommend Andy as a tour guide when you are in Xi'an!

Go with Rita

Rita was amazing. Very knowlegable and she knows how to navigate the crowds. She kept us moving so we were able to experience more of the adventure. My only complaint is with the lunch. If you take this tour, request NOT to go to Blue Pool Restaurant. The place was overcrowded. It was a push and shove fight to get food. They ran out of some of the dishes, they ran out of dessert, they even ran out of plates. This restaurant was the only terrible part of the day. (And the restaurant is not part of the tour company.). Again, Rita was amazing and spoke with the management to get some of us food. Rita saved the day. Thank you Rita.

All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch

A well-organised trip, and that's exactly what we needed.

A very well-organized trip. The Terracotta Army Museum is a popular tourist destination, so expect crowds. Our guide, Jacky, took us to places where we could take a look and a photo (all you need is a bit of patience; once visitors photograph the spot, they move out and make space). The lunch was nice - the buffet contained so-called 'western food' - spaghetti, chicken, potato salad, etc.- so people who miss this type of food could have it. Fortunately, there were local dishes as well - noodles were nice. Jacky also had good knowledge and answered all the questions. In summary, I definitely recommend the trip. The Terracotta Army is something one just has to see in Xi'an.

A very enjoyable and informative tour.

This was a very well coordinated private tour, Becky the tour guide is very knowledgeable and very eager to share a lot of information both on the tour and other aspects of travel in Xi'an. Would highly recommend this tour. As it was a private tour we could decide what to see first and what to skip and what extra to add on,.

Best tour we had

I strongly recommend this tour company. Our guide Julia was kind and accommodating. Her knowledge of the museum and Xi’an was extraordinary and gave us so much historical and current information. Julia organised a wheelchair guide for my mum at the warriors and was great at building us through the exhibits and the crazy crazy crowds. We got so much out of this day. It was the best. We even extended our tour with a cultural show. I recommend this to anyone travelling with elderly people and if you have mobility needs they are definitely accommodating.

Celine the sunshine in rain

It was a really great tour led by Celine. The weather wasn't good as it rained the whole day, but Celine was the sunshine that made the tour so smooth that surprisingly it wasn't stressful at all. She bought umbrellas and ponchos for everyone who needed them, so sweet of her. She's also super knowledgeable of the local history of Xi'An, I was enlightened by the connection of Journey to the West and the Pagoda.

Celine is Amazing!

Celine was amazing! Great communication, easy pick up, and very accomodating when I wanted to be dropped off at a different location on the way back. Also, Celine is very knowledgeable about the Terracotta Army and helped our group avoid the crowds and find the best photo spots. Would definitely recommend!

Don’t make a mistake - Stay longer in Xi’an!

Our tour guide Betty and driver Mr Li ensured we had a fantastic day. They were on time and the van was luxurious. We appreciated Betty giving us so much invaluable information not just about the history of Xi’an and the warriors but of Chinese history in general. Betty guided us through the busy exhibition seamlessly while giving commentary along the way through earpieces, pointing out the good viewing spots. We ended with a delicious lunch of Xian delicacies and tea. Thanks Betty and Mr Li we hope to see you again for more Xian exploring!

Great experience in Xi’an

We had a great day visiting the Terracotta Warriors and then the Wild Goose Pagoda. There were other options on the tour but we had already visited the wall and the towers as our hotel was close to them. Linda was an excellent guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us get the best out of our visit. She took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch and as I’m vegan helped me to select a suitable meal which was delicious. The restaurant also had a tea house and we tried different teas. The Terracotta Warriors are well worth a visit. It’s such an interesting place and the excavations are ongoing. The history of the pagoda is also really fascinating. We climbed to the top and could see all around the city. I would highly recommend this tour with Linda as she was so friendly and helpful and pointed out other places of interest in Xi’an along the way. Communication was great. Our driver was also very professional and we felt safe. Water and fresh apricots were provided in the car. We enjoyed the day very much.
