What are people saying about Xian

Jennifer_L, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour!

You get to see all the highlights of Xi'an in one day without the need to plan your way! My guide, Celine, was very upbeat and full of knowledge. She picked us up from out hotel and even found ways to accommodate and plan for others in my group who had to leave early! You get ample time to see everything and if we finished early, we just moved on to the next spot earlier. The buffet was also a nice touch, definitely try the soup noodles and "chinese hamburger." Definitely recommend, and hope you get Celine!

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.

Glimpse into history

We attended the private tour today with our guide Kai, and had an excellent experience. Kai was wonderful, personable, friendly and very attentive to our family’s needs. This was important since we had a child with us. Kai was also able to customise the tour to suit us, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Kai was very passionate and knowledgeable about the terracotta warriors and Xian’s history. For this attraction, we would definitely recommend a private tour. Having a dedicated guide and the flexibility to customise the experience made a big difference. Highly recommended!

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. 😊

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.

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.

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.
