Lauren_S, Nov 2026

Wonderful trip!

Being able to travel to one of wonders of the world there is high expectations of getting the best experience when meeting the Terracotta Army. Tracy our tour guide and our driver Mr Wang helped us get the most of our experience, everything from smooth driving to Tracy’s amazing vast knowledge on the Terracotta Army. I would be sure to book again in future!

John_M, Nov 2026

Best of Xi’an

A good one day tour if your are strapped for time but it’s a long day. The Terracotta Army is the highlight and probably warranted the full day. Equally walking the wall probably worth doing another longer day. It’s a great city and Lola was good guide.

Great company to book with.

This company was phenomenal. I asked for some extras and they made it super easy to accommodate my groups needs. And Agnes our guide was amazing. She was kind, knowledgeable and was great with our group. I have no reservation recommending them for any groups needs

The best guide!

Wow, Rocky really was the most kind, caring guide I've ever come across. As well as that, he was incredibly knowledgeable, polite and friendly. I was with my 76 year old mum and he really looked after us. Everything was done at her pace and he checked on her and helped her constantly. The warrior experience was unforgettable, but Rocky made this even better by being our bodyguard and standing behind us so we weren't pushed and shoved constantly. We had a choice of places for our itinerary, so we chose the stunningly beautiful winter palace and had plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Then the wild goose pagoda, where we learnt about the origins of Buddhism in China. It was a truly memorable day with a wonderful guide.

All-Inclusive Terracotta Army Tour with Premium Buffet Lunch

Ilona_H, Oct 2026

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.

Andrea_O, Oct 2026

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.

Private Xi'an Day Tour: Terracotta Army&Optional City Attractions

Tanya_D, Sept 2026

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!

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.

Authentic culinary experience

A great experience! All the food we tried was really delicious, varied, and nothing was missing. The places we visited were authentic, not touristy at all, and visited mostly by local people. The group was small and the guide was super friendly. She explained everything to us and her English was very good. 100% recommended!

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!

Miriam_B, Jun 2026

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.
