Amazing day in Xian!

I visited the terracotta soldiers with my husband. My guide Andy was great! He had so many great suggestions and took nice photos for us. He also allowed us to choose if we wanted to extend our tour or book discounted options through him. Very useful because we did a day trip in Xian. We also ate lunch with his family in the Xian village. This was a very good tour. We really enjoyed it and Andy is so welcoming. I'm happy to support his business. He's an honest and kind guide and also extremely knowledgeable. I could tell he's definitely an expert!! He's also originally from Xian. Perfect! Thanks again Andy. 😊

Book Wendy now! If she's available for your dates, don't hesitate and click the button now!!

Wendy was exceptional from start to finish: brilliant English, outstanding knowledge, and the sort of command of Xi’an’s history that makes the whole day come alive. At the Terracotta Warriors, she knew the material inside out, flicking through the guidebook and explaining the detail almost from memory. The tour itself was flexible and very well judged. We covered the Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Calligraphy Street and the City Wall, and Wendy adapted everything smoothly when our plans had to change at short notice. Nothing felt rushed or generic. She also understood exactly the kind of local experience we were after. The roadside lunch stop was authentic, delicious and one of the best food moments of the day. John was an excellent driver as well: comfortable car, smooth driving and a great fit with Wendy. Wendy is the kind of guide you would happily book again without hesitation. In fact, I’d take her with us on any trip around Xi’an. If she is available for your dates, book her. You will be very hard pressed to find anyone better.

Terracotta Warriors with Kai

Kai was the best. On the way to the site he gave us a historic background of China and the Terracotta Warriors. During the tour he showed us the best spots to get photos of the warriors and explained everything. He helped us buy souvenirs, the goods ones and the cheap ones. The drives to the site and back to the hotel were pleasant. Thank you Kai.

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!

The perfect length tour

Despite being their during peak travel season, this was good tour! Roger shared lots of interesting info about the Terracotta Army and Xian and his English was very good - had a good sense of humor too! The lunch was good - a large buffet with a wide variety of dishes - and the tour was the right length to have a full day, come back and rest a bit, and then head out for dinner and exploring Xian.

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!
